In January, we started the year with a new chapter as we merged with Anthesis. It set the tone for a big year. As has become tradition, we kicked off with Causes that Count, with a host of new insights and analysis. The Pepsi team hosted an interesting Third Thursday drinks including the likes of vodka Gatorade and Pepsi floats. Ruby Wax was in the building loving our Frazzled work.

In February, we carried chairs around Farringdon as we expanded the office.  The Mars team smashed it out the park with their Make A Difference Marketing Festival. Nick and Max went to visit another potato farm. Freya went to the UN.

Alan, Jess, Mithun and Jack’s work bowled over the Earthshot CEO.
Jads joined and changed the Mars team’s lives overnight. We welcomed Coppa Feel for a Lunch and Learn and Steph wore a giant breast. Everyone else was simply obsessed with Traitors.

In March, Given brought more purpose, cultural change and creativity by joining Anthesis. Row showed her TV presenter capes by launching Revolt Webinars while Shahina was in Nottingham universities talking to aspiring designers. The Wheyhey team had the clients wheyheying all the way to the frozen aisle. Revolt faces were all over the press with our pearls of wisdom and mugshots – Will in Creative Salon, Rich in Forbes and Isidora in the Drum. We hosted an International Womens Day Quiz. Swiftly followed by some strong male allyship when Nick O Quinn called out loo seat etiquette.

In April, Revolt hosted an area at Earthfest to inspire 11 years olds with our fave, regen agriculture. Meatless lunches commenced every Wednesday for the month. The L’Oreal team were doing their thing with inclusive marketing masterclasses in NY and Tampa. Kate launched Impact Accounting to show that purpose really does pay back. Rebecca, Roman and Dan joined and Mel returned from Mat leave, meaning we had to expand our insurance policy for Revolt Climbing sessions.

In May, we marked 1 whole year in St Cross Street. We also launched our dull green report in a vibrant green house on Exmouth Market. Jack, Gosia and Freya were at Sustainable Brands while Jenny Spindler sustainably ran a marathon. The Pepsico team were in Dublin for a fantastic Waste Nothing pitch. And Common Goal launched our new football mental health coalition “Create the Space” at Stormzy’s Merky F.C in Selhurst with Mithun, Will and Jimmy. Ben, Lucy and Rob joined the fray, with instant great work and also upping the canine contingent.

In June, a new Glastonbury slack group formed live. Pippa declined it. The Euros kicked off in style with Jimmy’s sweepstake while our Bud Sir Geoff campaign grabs nationwide coverage and Campaign of the week. We were awarded one of the top creative companies 2024 by Its Nice That. Emma got hitched ❤️ and baby Rose was born to proud daddy Rob. Tosin joined, with the promise of great strategising and dance moves. And Lotte joined too with a hidden talent we’d soon learn about…

In July, we had our Summer party. Team bowling names included ‘Irritable Bowl Syndrome’ and ‘The Finger Bowls’. But topping it all off, Lotte was crowned all time bowling champ in London. Our work for Corona around the Olympics went out having won a pitch against 99 agencies earlier in the year. We bagged 5 awards at Creative Circle for our Diana Award Back To Bullying work. And we were volunteering in Camden with our paintbrushes. Kirsten joins Revolt NY, taking us to new heights stateside and new recruits Jamie, Tom L, George and Sagal all signed up and made an instant impact.

In August, our OCA rebrand work finally went live and was covered in It’s nice that. We won Gold at the Brandon Hall Awards for Learning & Development for our work with L’Oreal. Revolt Runs took part in the LGN 5K alongside a moustachioed French man. Charlotte went to Australia to hang out with a load of sporty teenagers. Amrit joined us from ITV, bringing new energy to Team Mars and playgrounds. Ally and Em kicked off their creative placement and immediately impressed. And Third Thursday drinks were taken to a new level by Lauren’s scampi fries.

In September, Sagal and Rowan were in Zambia shooting our beautiful Mothers2Mothers films. Barry Boffy, MBE, FIEDP, stopped by to host workshops on Cultural Competencies. We presented a teaser of our upcoming Cost of Silence research at Climate Week. And we also became official partners of AdNet Zero. Our Gatorade film went live, and we kicked off work with Honda. Rob, Georgia, Paul and Rich presented to the City Football Group before enjoying a spot of Champions League action. Kelly and Harriet joined, upping the agency talent and fashion stakes instantly.

In October, our Frazzled work went live on Mental Health Day getting Campaign’s ad of the day. Olly did a round trip of Leeds, Wales and New York with Speedy, Renewables and Ralph Lauren. Our CPR Bra work went out driving huge traffic to the SJA website and featuring on BBC news.

We won the Chokis pitch just in time for Jack’s Bake off commencing. Freya and Kirsten hosted a discussion at AdWeek New York. Bushtucker third Thursday drinks complete with penis coladas and smoked crickets, thanks to Tom and Harriet. We won the ABI IG4 creative pitch on Stella. And baby Sidney arrives to a very proud mum Jess.

In December, VIP client Mitch’s leaving saw Alex and Matt dominate at flipcharts and at Karaoke. We won our first project with Target. Nick S joined the sweary New Biz team, whilst Max joined the creative dept having clued up on London working life by watching The Office. And our Christmas parties spanned quizzes, octopus and shuffle boarding.
