February’s Dialogue took us to new heights as we were joined by Zak Walters from Vinca Wine. Co-founder of the organic canned wine brand, Zak shared the trials and tribulations of taking Sicilian vines to festivals, supermarkets and flights across Europe. All washed down with some cans of the good stuff.
Socrates recently created a dedicated film to support the marketing of the Knightsbridge Estate, a substantial island site sandwiched between Harrods and Harvey Nicholls in London.

We are delighted and excited by the hugely successful launch of LCH Developments’ latest project, The Pinnacle in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Socrates developed a film and the website went live simultaneously.
We have recently created a brand and visual language for a new and innovative investment manager, Rotation Real Estate. This has subsequently been used to inform their new website, featuring a dedicated animated film that articulates their approach and understanding of the market.

Please do get in touch should you have any further questions.
With New Year’s resolutions in full swing, we spent January’s Dialogue learning about all things breathwork.
