With ambitions of stretching a number of its brands to live beyond the TV screen, UKTV approached eatbigfish for help.
Solution
We created a series of workshops, involving teams and agencies in creating vibrant new language and thinking around existing brand propositions. Through facilitated workshops, eatbigfish helped the brand teams to develop strong points of view for each of these brands, allowing them to step out of the TV and impose their thinking on the world.
“The challenger brand work that we did with eatbigfish has transformed our marketing approach on Dave.”
