Whittington in London

Socrates were appointed by the Mercer’s Company to evolve the brand, language and marketing for a new office building in the City of London. Named The Whittington Building, after a former celebrated Mercer, the brand builds on the graphic language introduced at the earlier phases of this engaging enclave of period and contemporary buildings at the very heart of the City.

Sussex Villages

Socrates have completed an extensive naming and branding exercise for Legal & General in relation to their substantial new village on the outskirts of Horsham in Sussex. Named Mowbray, a reference to the original landowner in the mists of time, the related heraldry style symbol is informed by the original arms of the eponymous Mr Mowbray and the current district’s coat of arms.

One Tree at a Time

To celebrate the launch of Panorama St Paul’s, Orion Capital Managers’ new HQ opportunity at the heart of the City of London, Socrates were tasked with the creation of an agency-wide mailer to be delivered to multiple offices across the Capital. Supporting the building’s genuine commitment to sustainability and greening, agency teams are now proud owners of individual cherry trees; encouraging us all to take care of the planet, one tree at a time.

St Paul’s Safari

Part of the wider campaign for Orion Capital Managers’ major office project at 81 Newgate in the City of London, we have recently developed a new brand and visual language, alongside installation of a full run of hoarding. Now named Panorama St Paul’s, the hoarding features some thirty 3-metre high giraffes lining the perimeter of what will become a 556,000 sq ft new headquarters opportunity. The animals are already putting a smile on the faces of commuters and visitors alike.

Projects & Panoramas

This month’s Dialogue offered us the delightful company of photographer, Hugh Gilbert. Talking all thing’s digital imaging, Hugh shared a journey around the studios and artists that he has photographed over the last 20 years. With former exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts, it was an honour to see first-hand just how some of our best artists operate.

A Glossary of Green

With so much of the world’s focus on sustainability and the actions we must all take to avoid long-term, irreversible damage to the planet; complex terminology is now increasingly part of our day to day lives. From carbon neutral to climate positive, net zero to NABERS; our latest Field Guide seeks to articulate what these terms really mean. Whilst we recognise that language will evolve over time, we hope the glossary will aid to further our collective understanding of sustainability.

Armenia, Santorini, Georgia, Macedonia, India. Not necessarily areas of the world that spring to mind when you think of good wine. After a wonderful evening with Susan Harper, we are now converted.
