Earlier this week, the Distillery London team headed to @TheDrum and @OgilvyUK to learn more about the launch of The Drum’s very own Facebook Messenger Bot and subsequent film #botumentary, which will allow the popular creative industry news source to deliver content to its readers on a much more personal, relevant and effective level.

We recently received the news that our 360 VR film with VSO won Gold and the People’s vote at this years Lovie awards, and as you can imagine, we’re thrilled! You can read more about the film here.

However, we couldn’t resist taking a peek at some of the other winners, and believe us, there’s some crackers.

We're excited to share some new work we've been working on over summer for Pernod Ricard. We've created a series of social assets and helped develop a content strategy to hero a series of social entrepreneurs in collaboration with UNLTD.

It all begins with our creative for "a day in the life" style film with Oliver, founder of The Gold Finger Factory.

“If you want to see where the future is heading, look to where people are having the most fun” - wise words from self proclaimed IBM Evangelist Jeremy Waites, and words that sum up our takeaway from H+Ks Creativity + New reality symposium brilliantly.

The symposium's main focus was how we, as creators, can harness the power of creativity within the new realities of the world around us.

From nearly 1,500 entries from 33 countries we're delighted to announce we're finalists for the Lovie Awards 2017! And we're excited!

We'd massively appreciate it if you could show your support for our VR film "What Will Your Day Bring" for VSO by clicking on this image below and voting!

Little gardens in the streets around Sydney and Melbourne? We've been creating social content with our in-house project, The Pothole Gardener, to help The Coca-Cola Company launch their new product, Keri Juice.

Earlier this week we gathered a panel of three brilliant minds for a breakfast discussion to talk through all things content and storytelling. Fuelled and caffeinated by the great team at the Riding House Cafe in our private room, it was a great session where we brought together a diverse range of brands across a range of sectors to talk through approaches to content and working with influencers. We find that challenges with content are consistent across sectors.

The vso and International Citizen Service (ICS) wanted a film to ignite interest and inspire 18-25 year olds to get involved in their volunteer placements. 

As a YouTube certified agency, we're all about the analytics. We want your content to work as hard as it can for you, and of course learn as much about your audience at the same time.

Every quarter, The Distillery London donates some of their time to causes / charities / events that we care about. It's not the sort of thing we shout about because it's kind of in our DNA. We love sharing our knowledge of content strategy / creative development and film making with organisations and charities that we care about.

The Distillery London has been YouTube certified for a number of years now.  As an agency that specialises in online video, all of the team is given the opportunity to become YouTube certified from day one.

Have a great #PrideLondon2017!

Recently, IBT launched their report VIDEO FIRST: Making An Impact with a panel discussion which covered a range of topics about online video: how it’s viewed; what works and what doesn’t; and some key tips for NGOs in particular on how to produce content that’s going to break through online.

It’s Friday and Cannes Lions is nearly over for another year. The shortlist for the film category is out so we thought, what better way to spend the day than sifting through the shortlist (well most of them) and sharing the 5 films that really stood out for us. So, out of the 271 nominated films that made our Friday, here's what we thought.

This week, Rebecca Groves The Distillery's Production Manager writes about her recent experience at the APA masterclass.
