High Five: Celebrating the Diverse

Brooklyn Brewery boldly provided space, resources and their own platform to five global LGBTQ+ activists for #CreateSpace, an ongoing campaign that supports grassroots activism and centres some of the most marginalised voices of the LGBTQ+ community. This was paired with a tailored programme of work and education on the importance of the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement.  

This campaign reminds us of how much more there is to do to reach equality at work. These beautiful portraits and personal stories offer an inspiring call to action while recognising individual challenges faced. It shows how much of an impact being yourself and having the support of others can have. 

Shelter took the real-life stories of renters and turned them into satirical property adverts and video about ‘Only Choice Lettings’. Keeping viewers engaged until they realised the shocking stories were true, the campaign drove 7,000 new supporters to join Shelter’s campaign. 

Adore these beautiful images from photographer Vic Lentaigne. They were created to showcase carbon negative knitwear brand Sheep Inc’s collaboration with queer knitwear designer The Knit Edit - where all profits are being donated to transgender youth support charity Mermaids. Featuring members of the community and Mermaids staff, it’s a brilliant combination of sustainability, putting people at the heart of the story and gorgeous photography.  

I couldn’t create this High Five without mentioning the Lionesses after their historic win against Germany. Going back to the start, I love these projections from Nike. The perfect alignment of messaging, spaces utilised for the projections and the personalities of the players is just *chef’s kiss*.
