Best for Britain

We were asked to cast a range of characters for an advertising campaign in support of a second referendum - very relevant, as there was a march on the 23rd of June calling for a further public vote on the final Brexit deal between the UK and the European Union!

TFL

The Ranch were asked to cast a cyclist to promote the new safety feature on the Santander bikes to make night time cycling more popular, which is part of Transport For London (TFL)'s campaign.

There are an incredible 3.2 billion miles cycled on our roads every year and cycle safety is incredibly important. By the end of summer, there's going to be over 11,000 bikes fitted with these safety lights, aiming to reduce the risk that cyclists face on the dangerous roads of London. The Ranch Casting agency were glad to be apart of spreading the word!

UNISON

Our public services are at the heart of a healthy, fair and thriving society.

After nearly 10 years of government cuts all UNISON members know how hard it can be to provide good quality, effective public services.

The Public Service Champions campaign aims to help win over public opinion to a change of direction on cuts and proper investment in public services.

Public Service Champions seeks to keep real people – service users and workers – at the heart of the campaign. Telling their stories, showing the impact on people’s lives, is what it is all about.

Here is a small selection of images from the campaign and the characters cast by us at
The Ranch Casting emphasising the stresses and struggles faced by the Unison employees every day.

Hush Puppies AW16

Earlier this year we got our teeth stuck into another casting for Hush Puppies. For us, what makes a successful casting comes from understanding what a brand is all about and what it wants to portray. Getting to grips with the heritage and the visual culture of that heritage enabled the campaign to reinforce and uphold the identity of Hush Puppies. It's the attention to detail which makes these campaigns so successful and something to be proud of.

Cath Kidston

We are so proud to have been part of this team to create such a fantastic story for Cath Kidston. Take an empty studio lot in West London, a football pitch-sized piece of turf and a giant globe of artificial sunshine (the only one of its kind in London). Mix in novelty knits, groomed dogs, mischievous kids and a pop-up tent or two. Decorate liberally with elaborate cakes, bunches of flowers and a generous sprinkling of good, honest Cath Kidston fun. We found all of these great characters for the Lower Camberley’s village fête come to life. Photgrapher: Dean Chalkley

Launched in September, Grand Central is a premier shopping destination with a wide-ranging selection of premium brands all under one roof.

Samaritans

Tragically, on average, around 3,000 middle-aged men take their own lives each year. We worked with Arthur London on this fantastic campaign "We're in your corner" to connect with men in this demographic, who are on the edge. These images can still be seen all over the UK Railway Network.

Dreamland

We sourced a great group of fun loving fair goers for photographer and film-maker Dean Chalkley's TV Commercial for the newly re-vamped and re-imagined Dreamland in Margate by Hemmingway Design.

Hush Puppies

HemingwayDesign specialise in identifying seminal moments in British design and popular culture, then pulling them into a modern context. This is exactly what they did with Hush Puppies.

Hush Puppies came to prominence at a time of great importance musically, as well as culturally, and are recognised as a staple of the late 50s rock 'n' roll scene, essential footwear for the fashion conscious lad of the 80s, and can rightly claim to be the shoe of choice for the 60s mod – a distinctly British and frequently revisited look. These style personas gave us the DNA to create our own, all-new collection.

Led by Jack Hemingway, the HemingwayDesign collection features eight pieces that take inspiration from a Teddy Boy classic: the Brothel Creeper, the Mod’s Chelsea and Desert boots and the Casual's ultra-cool suede loafer. The designs combine street style with Hush Puppies everyday comfort and wearability. We also designed all the packaging, POS and led this exciting photo and film shoot in Margate.

Travelodge

This fun campaign was shot by Marco Walker and were used to promote the rebranding of Travelodge and their newly refurbished hotels. The models all had a fabulous time on location in Brighton!

Cancer Research UK

We were so proud to be working with Cancer Research UK for a photographic ad campaign showing the effects of excessive sun exposure and raising awareness of the new law which made it an offence to allow people under the age of 18 to use sunbeds in commercial premises in England.
