Mastercard Foundation - Take Your Shot
Across the Pond.
Encouraging an entire continent to take its shot.
In Africa the real COVID problem is not that there aren’t enough vaccines, it’s that people don’t want to take them. To battle this, the Mastercard Foundation and the team at Culture Riot asked Across the Pond to create a film that would move the youth of all African nations to get jabbed.
We decided that you can't fight disinformation and misinformation, with more information. We needed to find an emotional hook. Our research told us that this was a generation who see themselves as change-makers. We wanted to tap into this feeling and create a call to arms that showed how they could lead the way to a brighter future across the continent by getting vaccinated.

Earth+Sky wellness collection
Kaleidovision.
A ground-breaking new approach to fitness
Existing virtual offerings left us unmoved, as they seemed static, uninspiring and totally unmotivating. So we set out to breathe new life into the world of virtual fitness with charismatic teachers, incredible locations, specially commissioned music and high-quality production values that actually make you want to get down on the mat. It’s cinema for the fitness crowd and motivation for the virtual generation, where the lens of the camera draws viewers in as participants themselves.
