Make famous stuff. Make clients famous.

We believe in the power of simplicity. And the simple truth is this, creativity gets results. Creativity will make your brand famous.

Between 2003 and 2010 creatively awarded campaigns have been 12 times more effective than non-awarded ones (source: IPA & Gunn Report 2011).

It's not a flouncy indulgence.
It's a business necessity.

At Newhaven, we make creative ideas that people talk about and share. Sometimes it's an ad. Sometimes it's an app.

Whatever it is, we'll make sure it brings you fame. Simples.

If you'd like to chat about what we can do for you, phone Gareth or Jonathan or drop us a mail.

A bit about our approach:

Famous Stuff We've Made

Historic Scotland

It's a victory not quite up there with Bannockburn, but we've helped Historic Scotland get a bit more fame. They've been named client of the year at the Roses Advertising Awards in Manchester with them being commended for, "the bravery of their work."

The Children's Panel

Our recent campaign for
The Children's Panel has been a resounding success. It has over-delivered on recruitment targets by 70%, been noticed creatively across the world and has produced a return on investment of 12:1. Even more importantly, the work is helping to make a real difference to the lives of Scotland's most vulnerable children.

Bawbags

Bawbags are a small company who produce underwear for skateboarders and extreme sport junkies.

With the small budget they had, we managed to produce a ballsy wee film that’s as distinctive as their pants. Within a week Bawbags had over 20,000 hits on You Tube and had been featured on blogs all over the world.

Newhaven Anagram Society

We even make famous Christmas cards. Our last one was featured in Scotland's national listings magazine. Not bad for a spend of £200.

City AM

We've recently started working with City A.M., London's leading City newspaper. Our first bit of work was a simple idea, but already it's had a big impact for them.

"We were keen to drive sign-up to City A.M.'s digital daily newsletter. Newhaven quickly turned around 3 or 4 strong pieces of creative and worked with us closely to develop a final product. Within the first week the ad increased our subscribers by 1,500. Growth continues with the work created by Newhaven achieving some of the best click-thru rates." Harry Owen, Publishing Director, City A.M.

Following the launch of our recent radio campaign, the helpline received almost 8 times the volume of calls it had received previously. On the creative side, it received a Yellow Pencil Nomination at D&AD and Commendation at Creative Circle.

Poppy Scotland

We recently created work for Poppy Scotland to support Billy Strathdee's Calais to John O'Groats Challenge. The work and charity auction we organised in our art space was such a success it raised £10,000 to help Billy and wounded servicemen and women.

Sadly, Billy passed away on Thursday the 16th of February 2012, but his memory lives on and the money he has raised is making a real difference to people's lives.
