-Agency Innocean has rebranded. A 14-year veteran of the industry, Innocean lacked a strong personal identity or guiding principles, which made it harder to attract top talent, win new business and establish themselves as a known competitor in the industry.

A billboard campaign calls for better access to rehabilitation services in the U.K.
-A major new billboard and digital radio campaign launched today by creative agency Pablo London and intensive care rehabilitation nurse Kate Tantam, calls for an end to the postcode lottery for NHS rehabilitation services that help people recover from the likes of car crashes, cancer or strokes. There is currently no guaranteed access to this vital care. To highlight just how important rehab is and to help end this postcode lottery, the Pablo team travelled to rehab centers, hospitals and intensive care units in Plymouth and documented a series of “patient firsts” that were only possible thanks to rehabilitation. The campaign directs people to PetitionForRehab.com, where they can sign a petition calling for rehab to be made available everywhere.
-To celebrate Swash’s new look and personality, the brand is flipping the laundry detergent world on its cap with the launch of its new “Laundry Court” campaign. TV spots from Colle McVoy feature Hollywood’s favorite juror, Ronald Gladden, back in the jury box.
