Aperol Spritz - Brand Campaign

A new creative company with a bold ambition: to make brilliantly creative, culturally relevant work in a better way, for today.

With over 50 years' collective experience in advertising, we've learnt what works, what doesn't work and how we prefer to work today.

The Brave New Now is founded on the principles we believe in. Think truthfully, work openly and create courageously. We’re not into bravado or bullshit. We prefer openness over ego, any day.

We think listening is just as important as talking. We have the energy and curiosity of a start-up with wise roots planted firmly in the ground.

We work hard, fast and smart. Less politics, more action is the way to go. Communication today needs to be quicker, more effective and more adaptive than ever before. We believe for a brand to thrive in this ever-evolving, crowded cultural space, it must be bold, embrace change and find its own Brave New Now.
