Connected Experience for PepsiCo
PepsiCo is a company that really doesn't need any introduction. Following the rise in popularity of direct-to-consumer mobile technology among millennials, PepsiCo decided to utilise innovative gamification technology within its Dare to Do More graduate recruitment process, in partnership with creative technology studio Appetite Creative.
The Challenge
PepsiCo wanted new ways to connect with top talent and deliver an educational and engaging candidate experience. The challenge for Appetite was to develop and deliver a creative and innovative approach to ensure candidates have a positive experience, interact with the full suite of brands and have fun during the recruitment process.
Appetite used gamification to set both the company and the candidates apart, and aligned to the core company values alive. Aspects of this included PepsiCo's mission of accelerating brand growth through consistent, meaningful and beautiful brand ecosystems across multiple touchpoints, to create relevant brand experiences.
The Solution
Appetite designed the PepsiCo Games web-based app experience to be integrated with the open innovation platform used for the Dare to Do More Challenge.
Potential candidates can select an avatar or take a brand based selfie. Options are then presented to the user which include scanning a PepsiCo product, creating a themed selfie, or one of 3 customized games.
All games are fully animated, dynamic and come with a countdown timer, encouraging users to compete to earn points while fighting against the clock.
For the recruitment team, Appetite Creative created administration accounts which gave them access to an overview dashboard for the platform.
Results
The solution delivered by Appetite Creative was the Dare to Do More Challenge PepsiCo Games web app.
The app was a success among the candidates, within the first two months more than 500 users registered, with almost 300 page views and an average session time of more than 8 minutes.

Connected Experience for KDD
Due to the global pandemic, children were unable to physically attend school for a year. With schools reopening in September, KDD was looking for a way to reconnect with children and families and use this opportunity to engage further with them through their juice and milk drinks.
Our task was to develop an attractive and engaging game that showcases the KDD beverage range and provides a fun and interactive experience for all age groups.
To achieve KDD's goals of interacting with their customers beyond the physical product, we created a multi-level experience consisting of a 2D racing game, an AR game and a range of AR filters for users to share their results on social media with, all activated through a QR code on KDD’s products.
In the first level users have to race to school in a car personalized according to their favourite KDD flavour. On the way are obstacles that the players have to focus hard on to avoid, as well as boosting ingredients like chocolate or banana that can help complete the game faster for a better result on the leaderboard.
After succeeding in the initial racing game, the AR game "What's in my lunchbox?" is unlocked and can be accessed through the smartphone’s camera. It combines brilliant visuals with leading interactive technology. Here, items such as KDD products and fruit are hurled out of a lunchbox in a three-dimensional space, which the player has to slice as quickly as possible in three different levels by controlling the movement of their previously chosen 3D character.
After completing both games, the platform encourages users to share their results on Social Media to increase their chances of winning one of the promotion’s prizes. One of the ways to do this was to use the AR selfie filters we specifically developed for KDD’s products.

Appealing Ecommerce Website for Nosy
Nosy is a revolutionary London-based company that provides highly effective, comfortable and sustainable protection for respiratory systems actively avoiding pollution and allergens. Its latest innovation, NosyX, adds an extra layer of defence to help prevent the spread of viruses such as Covid-19, offering consumers a sustainable solution to face masks.
Appetite was faced with the challenge of re-designing a brand new look and feel, that reflects the Nosy futuristic and tech-savvy theme. The brand image needed to inspire early adopters and innovators while reflecting a product that combines high-tech and high-fashion. As part of the brand creation, Appetite Creative designed a new website that could showcase Nosy’s business and the two product lines they offer for pollution and Covid-19 prevention. The new website required some optimizations, including being mobile-first, improvements in UX, selecting the best CRM and improvements to SEO. It also required new features such as a product subscription model and B2B content. The website was designed to drive pre-orders, leads and finally sales & subscriptions.
The website rebrand was designed to reflect the high-tech credentials of the business, with the wearable products developed by former Dyson engineers. Furthermore, the new website was meant to place the futuristic nature of the brand front and centre, bringing together its fashion and technology roots. As well as showcasing the Nosy products, the website has been built as an education hub, making it the home of reliable research and content for visitors on health, wellness and clean air. With a mobile-first design, the new website has e-commerce at its heart and includes a new fresh design and integration with Shopify. Lead generation is supported through outstanding animations and improved UX.

Rebranding for Arishi
Arishi is a collaborative and consultative brand who aim to help their customers reach the right solution for their technology needs. Their history has seen them work with many organisations, agencies, and startups and have always strived to find the best, most technically straightforward and robust way to support them.
The Challenge
Arishi is an experienced agency, and that means that they have had to keep up with trends and technologies since. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he changed Apple's rainbow logo to a sleek metallic one. The rainbow design suddenly looked dated.
Arishi certainly did not need to change their fundamentals, their ethics, or their core beliefs; they just needed to better present them to a newer audience.
The Solution
A complete rebranding including a new website UI design, brand guidelines, modern look and feel for their Sales Deck and an original proposal template document. We wanted to build further trust and proudly show off their values.
A clear and vivid logo was then broken up to create styling shapes that would be used across the design. Doing this meant that a uniformed look and brand feel was maintained subtly, yet profoundly.
Results
A complete Appetite Creative Soulution. Unique and varied business cards show off the company colours and make a statement of design and quality, this is reflected again in the brand new email signatures which keep the designs consistent. The brand image has been jazzed up and the core values exposed and celebrated in a classy, impactful, open and consistent manner.
Client Feedback
Appetite Creative approached our project with creativity and agility. The team captured our vision beautifully, gave us very credible design options to work through and did so without unnecessary consternation. We've worked with a lot of design agencies throughout the 20+ years we've been in the industry and their engagement with us has been very refreshing.
-Andrew Elia, Managing Director of Arishi

Rebranding and a new website for j2 Aircraft Dynamics
j2 Aircraft Dynamics is a UK-based company, established in 2006, that sells its own proprietary software, the j2 Universal Tool-Kit, a proven application in several areas including Aircraft design, Building of Dynamic Flight Models, Flight test risk assessment, planning and data matching, and Air accident analysis, among others.
The Challenge
As j2 Aircraft Dynamics provides market-leading products and services which can save customers up to 40%, the goal of this project was to communicate these outstanding capabilities and business benefits to prospective customers.
Therefore, Appetite faced the challenge of designing and building a complete, outstanding and fully-functional website that links to the company’s social media, visually positioning j2 as a disruptive leader in their market.
The Solution
As a digital agency, specialising in tech marketing campaigns, our task was to create a leading brand perception for j2. We usually do that through great looking website design and development, providing evidence and testimonials in order to build trust and instil confidence in prospective customers.
In j2 Aircraft’s case, showing strong and validated claims such as a “40% Saving” on the front page was critical and one of our first moves. Besides that, we also improved j2 Aircraft’s products’ visibility by developing the website as an engaging, responsive and visually attractive digital brochure from which all services provided by the brand could be seen.
Results
A fully responsive and functional website, built alongside with a powerful yet easy to use Content Management System. This will allow simple website and content changes to be implemented by j2 Aircraft quickly and without needless costs. Also, the website is optimised for SEO and, with the use of WordPress, a dedicated SEO plugin (Maths Rank) was set up and configured, ensuring the efficiency that a market leader’s website requires.

Brand New Platform for PI Healthcare
Pi Healthcare is an experienced company dedicated to delivering KOL & stakeholder strategies for the global healthcare/device/biotech & pharmaceutical industries.
Taking cultural nuances into account, Pi Healthcare builds valuable strategic market research analysis and solutions for global, international and national organisations in the healthcare community, empowering them to gain deeper, influential insights into stakeholder mapping, and to develop relevant plans.
The Challenge
For businesses that used to host a considerable amount of face-to-face events, COVID-19 has dealt the worst blow. Pi Healthcare needed to act swiftly to confront this challenge with a digital approach that diminished the inconvenience of meeting in person; whether it was due to commuting or the concern of virus transmission. On the other hand, Pi Healthcare wanted to enable clients to access their seminars whenever available, rather than waiting for a live event at a fixed date or hour.
The Solution
Appetite Creative Solutions designed and built a healthcare platform for Pi Healthcare, where they could host virtual seminars through pre-recorded videos around trendy healthcare-related topics for their clients.
The platform is fully secure and users have to first be invited in order to access. Through the admin dashboard Appetite created, Pi Healthcare had complete control over who to invite. The dashboard gave them the ability to send out automated emails containing unique codes to access the platform, with just a click of a button.
Results
The platform turned out to be a success! With more than 95% of invited users being converted into registered users, and with 90% actually signing up for the virtual seminars, the platform developed by Appetite Creative helped PI Healthcare solve the inconvenience of face-to-face events at this stage.
There was also a significant boost in video views since the launch of the platform, with an increase of 5,000+ in total, 700+ were full video views.

Connected Packaging for Emmi Good Day
In order to help Emmi achieve their goals, Appetite Creative came up with the implementation of QR Codes on the Tetra Pak packaging of Emmi good day’s recently launched products. Once consumers entered the experience, they would be randomly able to play any of the 4 interactive games. One of the four games - Emmi Flip - resembled the famous Flip the Bottle challenge, as the users were challenged to continuously flip the Emmi good day milk until they reached 80% less sugar than a conventional milk. We also created the Emmi Fall Game, where users would have to try to catch the falling Emmi products gaining points for each one collected and losing points every time the sugar was mistakenly caught. The third was a Tinder-style personality quiz to find the user’s perfect Emmi product. At the end of the quiz, the user could get a discount code for that product. Finally, we developed the Emmi Jump game where users would have to jump higher and higher in order to collect Oat & Milk along the way while avoiding the sugar. To support this campaign and raise awareness of the chance to scan and win prizes and discounts, our team of designers and video editors also developed social media assets. Video ads and animated graphics were created and posted on Facebook, YouTube and Google Ads.
The outcome of this refreshing and innovative campaign, launched in September 2020, was positive for Emmi and Tetra Pak. During the four months the campaign was live, the games were played a total of 45,897 times making it a huge success in the brand’s home country, Switzerland. Users: 35,500

Connected Packaging for Tetra Pak
Tetra Pak is the world's leading food processing and packaging solutions company working closely with their customers and suppliers to provide safe food. The brand is on a journey to become more sustainable and want to take their consumers along with them on their journey, by sharing their efforts and educating them on environmental issues.
For the second year in a row, Appetite stepped in to help them spread and promote their sustainability message, by merging Tetra Pak’s commitment to the environment, with our expertise in web app creation and marketing.
The Challenge
Tetra Pak wanted to find a way to inform consumers about their sustainable packaging efforts in a fun and engaging way through gamification that was both entertaining and educational.
In order to ensure engagement, we also needed to drive awareness to the products in stores where the QR code would be available to be scanned, providing access to the games.
The Solution
We developed a gamification platform that was fun and educational about Tetra Pak’s sustainability efforts and practices. The themes were “Renew”, “Reduce” & “Recycle”, with 3 games related to these topics.
We also created sets of social media templates to generate awareness about the games and to educate consumers on Tetra Pak’s sustainability.
Results
Tetra Pak wanted to find ways to integrate their products while educating consumers about their sustainability efforts. Appetite achieved that through connected packaging, by creating games that were found through the scanning of QR codes on the Tetra Pak packages. To create awareness about the games and sustainability, we also produced social media templates to be shared on Tetra Pak’s social channels.
Our results have been quite impressive and we only expect them to grow. So far we have achieved 43,397 scans on packaging, 49,584 users played the game, which lead to 513,951 website page views with 2:00 min average time spent on the page.

Spot a Home Social Media
Spotahome is a mid-to long-term online booking platform for home rentals.
They required management of their social media accounts including Instagram and Facebook. They needed some refreshing and engaging content to post and encourage their followers to use their services. They wanted to see growth in engagement and growth in followers.
The Challenge
The challenge was to grow the engagement on Spotahome's Global and Spanish Facebook accounts, and their Spanish Instagram account. The goal was to maintain their current followers and also gain new ones whilst increasing engagement all around.
The Solution
Our solution was to create visually stimulating content paired with engaging captions, together with hashtags. We also created interactive polls to target their audiences. We also integrated blog posts and ran promo ideas such as competitions. We also directly engage with their followers by responding to all messages and comments, using a message template given to us by Spotahome ensuring consistency in the brands messaging.
Results
We've built a long lasting relationship with the Spotahome team.
Since our management of their social media accounts, which includes the Global and Spanish Facebook accounts and their Spanish Instagram account, we've managed to increase their engagement, reach, and followers.

Anyclip Website Design
We engaged with Anyclip, the AI-driven video content data and monetization pioneer, to refresh the website and bring it to an international, European wrapper and bring it up a level that represented the quality of the content and partners that Anyclip wants to be associated with.
The Challenge
The challenge was to design and build a new website with a new vision. As a company that provides highly technical services, the website needed a logical and navigable structure to clearly communicate key messages and drive leads.
Equally, the global scope of Anyclip as a company demanded a website that would engage people across a variety of markets, and a variety of different target audiences, each with different objectives.
The Solution
We delivered a totally refreshed site with an easy-to-use backend, meaning the new site could be updated constantly.
We integrated their marketing database, gave them the ability to create new landing pages easily for their marketing campaigns and transformed their website from a linear brochureware site into a site that looks great but also generates leads.
Results
An improved organic reputation alongside SEO management meant that traffic to the Anyclip website was greatly increased.
In business terms, Anyclip saw a notable increase in the opportunities pipeline as well as a material increase the number of investor meetings they had.
“Working with Appetite to create a destination and content that resonated and with the likes of LeadForensics to understand unregistered traffic more, a material difference was delivered. Jenny’s team overcame a lot of issues faced by the business - non-domestic mistrust, intermediary mistrust, network legacy mistrust. The industry has been burned by players who have tainted everyone and sadly it takes a lot of work to address this - the first step being to pin-point the message the shop window gives.”
Adam Hopkinson,
Managing Director of Anyclip

Squirro Branding & Web Development
Squirro defines itself as a “group of talented individuals from around the globe who love working with each other”, and came to revolutionize the business world by delivering insanely great results on enterprise data.
The Challenge
As an international company specialized in cutting edge technology, Squirro realized that there was a clear mismatch between the way they were presenting themselves online and the way they wanted to be seen by their target audience and customers. Their iconic squirrel character was outdated, the website design unstylish and there was an urgent need to improve the page’s speed, which ultimately led internal managers to feel that Squirro’s online presence was not aligned with their field of expertise.
The Solution
Appetite created stationary & brand guidelines, updated the colour palette and created new icons to decorate the website’s pages, in order to ensure that the overall look, message and feel reflected the new branding.
Therefore, Squirro’s iconic squirrel was rejuvenated, and adapted to the different fields of expertise of the brand, giving rise to four new squirrels and environments: the general, the banking, the insurance and the manufacturing squirrels.
A new portfolio, involving case studies and sales presentations, was also thoroughly designed with the goal of instilling confidence in the brand, elevate its engagement opportunities & leads, and ensure that all Squirro’s sales messaging was uniformed.
Results
Appetite Creative delivered a new hybrid website - a fully custom built theme from the UI design all the way to the Front End development and connected to WordPress. The website is now responsive, functional across all devices and highly engaging.
Also, the harmony across the brand’s portfolio is now evident, as the colours displayed in the website and sales presentations are uniform, instilling confidence and professionalism in the brand.

IPONWEB - MediaGrid video
IPONWEB launched The MediaGrid as an antidote to many disruptions in the programmatic landscape. Purpose-built for agency buyers and premium publishers operating in a new era of programmatic, The MediaGrid creates an open environment that brings buyers and sellers closer together and empowers both sides with powerful supply curation and management tools to drive greater trading efficiency, performance, and value in programmatic. The problem with such innovation is often not the product itself. It is that many businesses simply don’t know or understand how they may benefit from using it, and this is where Appetite Creative Soulutions were called in to bring the product to life through visualization and innovative engagement.
Appetite Creative Soulutions created a 90 second explainer video to present both the technical capabilities and business value of The MediaGrid in a visually appealing way. The video is exciting, interesting, and straightforward; helped by harnessing attractive visuals and delivering a clear message to grab the audience’s attention quickly. Moreover, it does all of that in just a few seconds.

Xynon logo
They needed to create a brand which would comminucate to their three audiences, Customers, Investors and Collaborators. They were looking for a branding project which would help them form a common understanding within their founders group, as well as forge an identity and the culture that espouses their objectives.
We created a logo which worked with the key pieces Xynon wanted to communicate Accuracy, Reliability, Transparency, Flexibility, Deep Technology, Understanding, one of their comments “we want this brand to identify with the sight of a hypertrophic cat floating on The Tyrrhenian Sea” - So we knew we had to use blue somewhere ;) We chose a font which was both professional but also futuristic and would work at all sizes. The brand is a tech-focused one so we chose images which reflected that and also added a touch of interesting animations to bring the page to life. There is no physical product so it is something we had to gain users confidence through trust in the professionalism and design of the website itself and branding.

Pandora Liquid Desktop Skin and Mobile Interscroller
Pandora needed a unique way to engage their customers over the Christmas period. We needed to market Pandora’s products as gifts over Christmas, to both male and female audiences. Whereas the typical Facebook and Instagram feed is overwhelmed with marketing promotions, Whatsapp engagement is still very underused by brands.
We innovated by being the first global agency in the world to enable Whatsapp sharing in a banner ad. As well as creating a Liquid Desktop Skin and a Mobile Interscroller individually for both female and male audiences, we built creative units which enabled us to incorporate Whatsapp into the campaign. The user could click on the Whatsapp icon and opt to share the product with a contact or send a message directly to the brand, increasing direct engagement between the brand and audience. The innovative campaign also included a Christmas countdown timer and separate creative messages for men and women.

Unibets Mobile Game
Evolving in a fiercely competitive global market including other big players like 888Holdings, GVC Holdings, William Hill and many others, Unibet faced the challenge of differentiating their service from the rest.
Their objectives were to increase awareness and to drive their mobile application downloads. They wanted our help in creating a marketing strategy that would allow them to attain their objectives.
Our strategy was to drive Unibet to interact more with the world of football, their largest betting audience. Therefore, we designed for them an interactive and dynamic mobile game where we put the user in the heart of the action, mimicking football gameplay.
Our interactive and dynamic mobile game ran in rich media versions for 7 different languages: English, Belgian French, Belgian Dutch, Romanian, Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. All the versions had a different API integration for the prize.
You can see the gameplay here in which the challenge is to not let the ball touch the ground.

Liquid game for Hotel Transylvania 3
With the release of the animated film Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, Sony Pictures Animation needed an innovative way to reach and engage their audience to promote their summer blockbuster. Appetite Creative was tasked with designing from scratch, building, and testing a fully responsive unit that would reach at least one million users.
We designed and created a candy crush style game in which users would match up characters from the film. We added the video trailer and ticket buying options and three levels of fast-paced, gorgeous gameplay. Each of the three levels would hold a new set of four characters for users to match horizontally or vertically. To increase excitement users were against the clock, each level had only 30 seconds to reach the minimum score or replay that level.
We had no prize to offer, so instead users were motivated through the game experience by the design itself and motivated to proceed to the next level and collect the themed bats. We tripled the target reach in the lead up to the national premiere, and had thousands of users playing the game, interacting with the brand and watching the trailer. We hit an astonishing engagement rate of 13% on mobile and 5% overall.
Due to Canadian law requires that advertising to children must be user activated, so users had to first interact with the MPU banners before they could start playing the game. Our biggest KPI was engagement time, we achieved a huge average dwell rate of 4 minutes and the longest session played was 9 minutes! 40% of users watched 100% of the trailer!

Vodafone Treasure Hunt
Vodafone X has teamed up with Appetite Creative and OMD to offer the chance to win a brand new iPhone. On Wednesday, 6 June, 2018, Vodafone X hid a brand new iPhone somewhere in Dundrum Town Centre as part of a public treasure hunt. There was no dog-eared map with an X marking the spot with this one though: the clever heads at Appetite Creative Solutions made it 100% digital and completely via smartphone
Here’s how it worked. You show up at the Vodafone Store at 1pm. Once there, whip out your phone and scan QR code and you have your first clue. You’re off and running from there. Each code you scan will lead you to the next spot. If you do it right, you should end up back in the store after visiting three locations. The fastest time on the day wins.
The campaign had 73 participants running around town and one lucky winner with a gleaming new iPhone. 411 Instagram likes, 61 Facebook likes along with a huge message thread as well as almost 300 article covering it means that we are already in the process of setting up the next series of treasure hunts. Keep an eye out in case they come to you!

GAA and Shazam
Gaelic Athletic Association is the largest sporting organization in Ireland. Founded in 1884 by highly spirited Irishmen that realized the need to establish an organization to make athletics accessible as it was once played solely by aristocrats during that time.
GAA promotes hurling, handball and football. It also promotes Irish music, song and dance to enrich its cultural heritage. Today, GAA has over 2,200 clubs in all 32 counties of Ireland. GAA collaborated with Shazam, Electric Media and Appetite Creative to create an entertaining mobile experience. Users could Shazam the TV ad and enter the branded mobile experience. Mobile users can take then a selfie, choose their county and a flag with their chosen crest and phrase will appear. Users also had the option of a fan cap with which they can adjust to different sizes and move around. Users can share the selfie on Facebook or Twitter for a chance to win 2 tickets to the Irish Football Final. Impactful and intelligent selected Rich Media formats make customers consider new products and help brands to stay the leaders in rapidly changing competitive markets.
Interaction rate within the app: 4.65% that is by 8 times higher than the benchmark 0.61%
Users shared their selfies: 31% (Facebook) and 59% (Twitter).

Advent Calendar
After partnering up with The Independent we wanted to create an advent calendar which would offer users the opportunity to win a different prize, offered by a different advertiser each and every day. The challenge was to be able to find enough advertisers to participate and to give an offer for each door and make it compelling enough so users would come back and enter the competitions every day! In addition, each advertiser only had 24 hours available to them before it became the next advertisers turn.
We were able to fully generate and automate a smart calendar system, capable of organising and identifying different dates and associated events across all devices and environments.
We built solid code that worked cross-platform. An ambitious campaign that stood up to everything that we could think to ask. A triumph of ambition, development, creativity, and execution.
An outstanding 40.73% CTR on all screens (mobile and desktop), over 200 times the benchmark. Average dwell time was almost four minutes!

Liquid Skin for Cadbury

Dynamic Creative Optimization for Best Western Hotels & Resorts
Celebrating more than 70 years of hospitality, Best Western Hotels & Resorts is an award-winning global family of hotels located in over 100 countries and territories that offer accommodations for all types of travellers.
Having so many hotels and resorts across so many countries is quite some feat, but success on this scale can also bring complications that other, less accomplished, companies might not foresee.
Best Western needed a way to focus their advertising. There would not be much point in offering somebody a hotel in Bali if they were waiting for a bus in the centre of London. So, they needed a way to tailor each experience to each user, and in doing so, offer the widest variety possible, to the largest demographic possible.
This is where Appetite Creative stepped in, we created an MPU and a leaderboard which dynamically updated to show the most relevant hotels for each user who viewed the ad. Two animated, interactive, and dynamic ads to suit each user as if it had been designed exclusively for them.
An astonishing engagement rate of 86.62% shows just how effective this was. That means that on average, nine out of every ten people that saw the ad used it. A remarkable figure that led to an increase in ROI from 1.13 to 1.40. Engagement rate: 86.62%, ROI increased from 1.13 to 1.40.

Connected Experience launched across UK pubs
The spookiest event of the year was just around the corner, for which Dead Man's Fingers launched a special limited edition Halloween bottle. With their constant drive to break conventions, Halewood Artisanal Spirits approached us to create a campaign that does just that, thus engaging consumers in pubs all over the United Kingdom.
We all know what it's like in pubs. You fancy a little game that might even win you something. So we decided to bring the legendary pub game, the ‘fruit machine’, to everyone's mobile phone. The web app was easily accessed via wooden stirrers with QR codes that were handed out with the drinks.
"To keep the feds off our backs", players first had to enter their date of birth before diving into the spooky rum brand experience, which instantly launched the ‘fruit machine’. When four Dead Man's Fingers Halloween Edition bottles flickered in the ‘fruit machine’, players won instant prizes. The prizes included hoodies, t-shirts, beach towels, caps and much more - all Dead Man's Finger’s branded. The winners only had to enter their contact data and were then shipped their prizes at the end of the campaign.
The campaign ran throughout October in over 700 pubs, with its highlight on Halloween. In just one month, the game was played over 4,300 times. Our live analytics dashboard also shows that most scans were made on the weekends and most often in London, Wrexham and Bedford. The experience also displays a data registration rate of 71.19% and a remarkably low bounce rate of 1.97%.

Connected Experience for Merck
Background
Merck is a global science and technology company that is formed to solve some of the world’s toughest scientific problems in the world. They offer cutting-edge technologies, high-quality products, and novel services to scientists and engineers to help them in the process of delivering scientific breakthroughs. The company is dedicated to making research and biotech production simpler, faster, and more. Scientists all over the world can get access to Merck’s technologies or products through their E-commerce store.
Challenge
Because scientists that are clients or make use of the technology, products, or novel services are located all over the world, it was hard for Merck to gather detailed information about the scientists. That is why the company decided that they want to gather emails from their scientists in order to use this information for targeted communication. This information will give Merck more information on their clients and customers and this will allow them to better target their target groups.
Solution
This is where Appetite Creative stepped in. The solution that Appetite provided for Merck was to create a connected experience campaign. In this case, Appetite created a game for Merck that was targeted at the scientists.
When logging into the app, the researcher will be asked to enter their email address to start the game and eventually to have a chance to win prizes. Once logged in, the user will have a choice between 18 avatars to choose from. The game is broken down into three levels in which the user has to shoot the pipette into the moving waste bin. The more successful hits, the more points the users get which will eventually lead to a leaderboard that keeps scores that can turn into prizes for the users.
Client’s feedback
Appetite Creative is still working on the project, but the client is happy with their work so far. They have a responsive communication process with quick turnarounds. Overall, there has been no need for improvement.

Connected experience for Juver
Juver is a brand that produces fruit-based drinks. The well-being of the environment is central for the brand when they produce products. This connected experience was focused to educate the users about the ingredients, and the importance of protecting the environment by letting the users play a quiz and a game in order to win prizes like an Apple Watch, an iPhone, and a Tablet.

Connected experience for Iberia Kids
The challenge
Iberia kids wanted to educate their young customer group with the ingredients that their drinks contained.
Our task was to create a connected experience for the customers of Iberia kids that was both educational and engaging.
The solution
Appetite creative provided the solution of creating a connected experience for Iberia kids. In the connected experience, the user is educated through a quiz, two games, and a selfie mode. All the content is educational to make the user more aware of the healthy ingredients that are used in the drinks.
Results
While the campaign is still live, the campaign has recorded over 5,300 scans. With the different games being played over 18,200 times with over 3,500 shares!
In the campaign, 1,400 emails were entered which provided Iberia kids with valuable customer data that they can use to even better educate their customers about all the health benefits that their products contain.

Website design and development Upgrade education
Background
Upgrade Academy is a platform that helps students achieve a higher education level by increasing their admission rates to top universities all around the world. Upgrade Academy works with members from top universities that act as mentors for the students to help them during and after their application progress to get into their desired universities. The team at Upgrade Academy helps the students to build a profile to apply for universities, to set up a career path for the students, to build a good application, and to get them ready for the academic year.
Challenge
Upgrade Academy collaborated with Appetite Creative because their old website was lacking the identity of the brand. The website and the look and feel of the brand were too generic and clean. The brand was lacking color and identity and they wanted to turn things up a notch or two!
Solution
The solution that Appetite Creative provided for Upgrade Academy was to give their previous website a full make-over. Upgrade was struggling with the identity of the brand on their website because their website was too generic and felt it didn’t appeal to their audience if young people.
Results
The previous website that was too basic was turned into an interactive website with lots of different, colorful, and interactive features. The whole website is now integrated with their CRM system and has a 20% faster loading time.

What challenge were you trying to address with Appetite Creative?
We needed someone to design creative solutions for our company.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Appetite Creative has designed our creative banners and rich media solutions to use on behalf of advertisers, such as Apple and Microsoft. We use them on a case-by-case basis; they provide a pretty creative and technical process and upload everything on our website.
What is the team composition?
We work directly with the CEO and 3–4 other people.
How did you come to work with Appetite Creative?
I don’t remember how we were put in contact, but they had some good case studies. The team understood the brief, and they were very responsive. We decided to use them as a test, which went well.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $50,000–$100,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in October 2019, and our relationship is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We look for the quality of the creative, artistic, and design work, alongside its efficiency when it runs on the website. Also, there’s been an increase in engagement on our website. Overall, we’re happy with the engagement.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder and CEO of a healthcare technology company, as well as an advisor for a company in the EdTech space. Both brands are B2C.
What challenge were you trying to address with Appetite Creativity?
For both projects I’ve worked with Appetite on, I was looking to acquire customers digitally. We realized that you can’t have a great marketing campaign without a great website, so we decided to invest in our website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Appetite built everything from scratch, except for the copy and the website. The site is built on Shopify.
For upgrades on the EdTech site, they created the platform where the students would be managing their works in progress; it wasn’t just a front-facing website, but a backend platform as well.
What is the team composition?
We’re working with a project manager, and there are usually 1–2 people working on the design. There are also 1–2 people working on the code. Jenny (Managing Director) comes into meetings sometimes as well.
How did you come to work with Appetite Creativity?
A previous marketing vendor referred me to them. I thought Appetite’s team was the best fit because I really liked their tactics and design style.
When they first started working on my own website, they were okay in terms of price comparison. Now that they’ve done the upgrade, I do find them a bit more costly, but they’ve done much more for this upgrade than the first project.
I also like how their team works; they have a good time.
How much have you invested with them?
The website upgrade cost around £10,000– £15,000 (approximately $13,000–$20,000 USD), and the original development
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together since November 2020. Currently, they’re working on platform upgrades.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
One of the websites they created was a finalist for a design award — it was really well done. People comment on how beautiful it is every day.
How did Appetite Creativity perform from a project management standpoint?
They were fine. Using project management software would take them to the next level, providing a certain amount of nuance to their work, but that depends on who’s managing the project.
We mostly communicate over email.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They have really great designers and animators. They don’t overcomplicate coding delivery, and they’re fast. The design part took the longest; they have a robust ability to do coding and implement cool features.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It would be very helpful to have project management software, especially during the design phase. Moreover, clients should have access to it, rather than information being shared only via email, as it’s easy to lose track of important threads. Additionally, the price point was a bit of a challenge for me as a startup. Working with them will also be a. no-brainer in the future if the price point is closer to what it was for my first project with them.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Whenever you approve something, you cannot go back on the design. Looking back, I would have spent more time saying exactly what I liked and didn’t like in the beginning. Don’t give your approval on something until you’re completely happy with it.

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the director and founder of a translation and localization services company. We’re roughly ten years old.
What challenge were you trying to address with Appetite Creative?
The company was going into business without any kind of visuals or representations, so we required a brand and logo from scratch. Appetite Creative also elaborated on our initial brand name.
What was the scope of their involvement?
To begin, we had a kickstart meeting where we discussed the features of our company, what differentiated us, what our competitive advantage was, and our global growth strategy. Appetite Creative helped define our message: what we’re doing, what our potential is, and more. All this information was delivered in a printed brand book.
Other deliverables were corporate colors, email signatures, and business cards. They also helped us determine whether we needed to change our name.
One of Appetite Creatives techniques was to look at our competitors’ sites to determine what kind of design we wanted for our website. We told them we wanted a site that had never been seen before, and they delivered.
Currently, we’re looking into working with them on digital marketing.
What is the team composition?
Our initial contact was Jenny (Managing Director), but she was not involved in the daily communication. She played more of an overseer role. There was one project manager, Camille, and then a marketing resource as well. Finally, there were 1–2 design people.
How did you come to work with Appetite Creative?
We conducted a tender process among 10 companies I found by consulting Clutch for Top UK Agencies. All the companies in the tender specialized in working with small businesses and small budgets. We compared the top four proposals from that group, held introductory meetings with them all, and liked Appetite Creative the most.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent between £6,000– £7,000 (approximately $8,000–$9,000 USD)
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from October–November 2021. Appetite Creative delivered the project and we decided to pause to think about next steps. It has nothing to do with the quality of the work or pricing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We went 5–7 days over the schedule, but that’s it. The extra time came from initial internal discussions.
How did Appetite Creative perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re perfect — quite responsive and friendly.
I mostly dealt with their project manager, as there was no direct connection with the creative team. This might be the only issue I saw, as it made it difficult to alter options.
We spoke through video calls, email, and phone calls on WhatsApp (for urgent discussions). All materials lived in a file exchange.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their creative work stood out. I was happy with the way they transferred what we discussed into the colors and the logo. It was all done professionally and creatively.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I was expecting a more responsive approach to our comments, especially on the design work. We had corrections to make it smoother, but the resulting revised version wouldn’t look as good as the original. A more responsive approach would be better, rather than sticking to what was proposed the first time. This is a minor issue, however. Generally, we’re happy with their work and output.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Start with a general approach, as each situation is different. They’ll deliver a proper product.

The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
We're an online marketplace where businesses and freelancers can trade their products and services with one another, without relying solely on cash! I'm the resident stamp-licker, tea-maker, IT-fixer, marketing-wannabe at baggl AKA... Founder.
For what projects/services did your company hire Appetite Creative?
Appetite have been faced with a torrent of challenges whilst working with us during the past year. We initially began working with Appetite to create a retro-styled game called the Virus Slayer in March 2021, as part of our platform launch, which Appetite also supported with PR and other digital content. After doing such a fantastic job, it was a no-brainer to ask Appetite to become our full-service agency.
How did you select this vendor?
We frequently receive messages and pitches from agencies, as it's an extremely competitive market, however, we seldom receive recommendations, therefore we jumped at the opportunity to have a chat with Appetite after they were recommended to us, by a very trustworthy and reliable source.
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
We initially kicked off our relationship with Appetite with a gamification project, which was a mobile game whereby players got to slay mini COVID virus monsters. Appetite then took on the production and publishing of our social media content across FB, Twitter and LinkedIn. They then began helping us with month blog/newsletter content, to support our organic SEO growth. As we move into 2022 we'll be handing over the reins to our media planning and buying across OOH, online and social.
What was the team composition?
We've had the pleasure of working with a variety of the Appetite gang, ranging from technical development, project management, design, marketing, plus we can always reach their managing director for anything business critical or simply to have a chinwag and put the world to rights!
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
All of our social media channels have grown significantly since working with Appetite, in addition to receiving a sizeable amount of prospective customer email address from those that sign-up to play our virus slaying game.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
As a mature-ish start-up, each day is pretty chaotic and Appetite has helped us maintain structure across all things advertising and marketing related! Despite how challenging and painful this might have been for them, they have not given up on us, especially during our darkest of hours during a very tough time for all businesses across the globe!
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Appetite's flexibility and ability to react so quickly is what stands out the most for us, mostly because it's been a turbulent year for our business, and they haven't faltered once! They are more ductile and malleable than even gold! They're certainly worth more than gold in value too!
Aside from their amazing work ethics, ability to deliver and the overall quality of their work, one of the most important and impressive things about Appetite, has been their flexibility. As a young business, and like many others that are just starting out, it can be an extremely bumpy road.
In light of this, Appetite has been overwhelmingly supportive, not only in a reactive sense by adjusting budgets and resources accordingly in-line with our business needs and demands, but also being proactive too, helping us look and plan ahead, so we can overcome future obstacles and challenges together.
This is a warming and inspiring approach to business. They deserve a long-term commitment and loyalty from any client on the receiving end of such a wonderful service! We're beyond proud to be able to call Appetite our agency.
Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?
There's absolutely nothing that Appetite could do better, as far as we are concerned.

I don’t remember their positions, but the people that we’ve been working with have been fantastic so far.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
In terms of the social media space, we’ve been getting positive reports that allow us to see what pages people are going to on our website, what visitors do there, and how they move around the site.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a marketing executive at a digital services partner. We work with both agencies and clients to help them with their digital advertising across different channels.
What challenge were you trying to address with Appetite Creative Solutions?
We’ve recently rebranded, and we used Appetite Creative’s services to help us with that process.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We’re working with Appetite Creative’s marketing team to increase our awareness and engagement, mostly across social media. We work with them on a monthly basis to get content onto our social media — we feed them content, and they create the visual and other content to be posted on social media.
The team is also doing some copywriting for us for some thought leadership pieces. They’ve created a few videos for us as well.
What is the team composition?
We’ve been very closely working with Yannik (Marketing Sidekick), who we have the most contact with. We also work with Adam (Writer).
How did you come to work with Appetite Creative Solutions?
I think the decision was made by my manager, so I don’t know the answer.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together since September 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Since it’s only the beginning of the partnership, we haven’t really been tracking them, apart from the social media metrics we get. We’ve seen average engagement and clicks increase across all our social media sites, which have been great.
How did Appetite Creative Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?
Appetite Creative has been really great at managing the project. They’ve always been extremely responsive to all the requests we’ve made as well as the feedback we’ve given. The team is always able to produce what we request and need in terms of content under the framework we’ve agreed upon. They’re prompt and reliable, and they respond to emails in a timely manner. It’s been really good.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We’re impressed with how responsive they are to whatever we need them to do, whatever the time frame is. There’s been amazing responsiveness and execution on Appetite Creative’s part.
Are there any areas they could improve?
We work in adtech, and it can be hard to understand what we do and what we provide for clients. While it’s understandable why they’re not very familiar, they could try and understand a bit more and get more familiar with our product, so they could provide even better content than they have. Obviously, we’re only in the fourth month of the partnership so it’s understandable that it’s not completely nailed down yet.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Encourage Appetite Creative to take the lead on projects, and open them up to provide suggestions. Give them the freedom to not only respond to the tasks you’re giving them, but to provide suggestions as well. Also, be as responsive as they are — if you’re both giving the same amount of effort, you’re going to get the most out of the relationship.

Branding and Web Design for Restaurant
"For the quality provided, their price point is very good."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner and operational manager at P&A operations based in London. We established a restaurant called Nutshell in London. This is our main trading point at the moment.
What challenge were you trying to address with Appetite Creative Solutions?
We needed help with the company branding from the website to the logo, the stationery, and anything related to the visual branding of the company.
What was the scope of their involvement?
When we first started with them, we met with them and went through the concept behind the restaurant. Because of their background, we feel that they managed to capture what we were trying to achieve from the branding and the website. We were trying to reflect on the story behind the restaurant, the story behind the menu, and why we decided to bring it to London.
We met with Jennifer (Managing Director) and we went through the requirements which were mainly to design the logo and the color scheme that matches the design of the restaurant created by the interior designers. We also needed them to design the layout of the website. They suggested the layout, the stationery we need to go with, and the menu layout and design.
For a couple of meetings, we were just discussing with them about what we wanted to achieve and what sort of user experience we wanted them to have. They suggested the layout, which parts would be interactive, which parts would be more informative, and different layouts for the different sections.
They’re still managing our website and whenever we need additional designs. We’re constantly changing things on the website because our services and things that we offer our customers are changing.
What is the team composition?
Our main product manager was Jennifer. There were 2–3 people working on this project. We had someone dedicated to the logo and the main design elements, and we had another person working on the website.
How did you come to work with Appetite Creative Solutions?
We were searching online for a London-based designing company. We felt at ease choosing them because of their clients. When we met with Jennifer, she seemed to get what we were trying to achieve. The price point was really good for us considering it was our first project.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent about £6,000 for the main project (approximately $7,680 USD).
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Since our restaurant has a changing menu, we wanted something that’s user friendly and easy for us to update but still looks good. That was the highlight. Even though it was designed from scratch, they still managed to make it friendly. I can easily update the website whenever we need to and it will be integrated with the website. I had zero experience with anything web-related, but they’d make sure it’s all done properly. For the quality provided, their price point is very good.
How did Appetite Creative Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re very responsive whenever we need to change or update something. This was good because sometimes we need things done very urgently. One time we needed something quickly, and the project manager communicated with the design team immediately. We didn’t have any issues with the deadlines. They sometimes delivered even sooner than the deadlines.
What did you find most impressive about them?
During the initial meeting, when we met with them, they captured what we were trying to achieve without having to go back and forth a lot. After the initial meeting, the first design files and mockup of the website was already almost there with only needing minor adjustments.
Are there any areas they could improve?
When it came to designing the menu, that was the only part that needed a bit more reviewing in terms of capturing the necessary information.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommend working with Jennifer. She’s very responsive and helpful. Everyone else we dealt with was also very helpful.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder of Scentropy, a fragrance subscription service. We also have an online shop where customers can buy the fragrances.
What challenge were you trying to address with Appetite Creative Solutions?
I knew that I wanted to sell and enlighten the public to niche fragrances, but I had nothing other than a brand concept in my mind. I had no vision of colors, branding, or logos, so I hired Appetite Creative Solutions to develop a brand as well as a website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Appetite Creative Solutions was able to come up with a great logo, branding, and color scheme. They gave us several options to choose from. Once we’d decided on one we’d like, the team designed and developed our website using WordPress. I come up with content for the website, and their copywriter edits it for SEO before publishing it.
The team is also managing my Facebook and Instagram accounts, as well as digital marketing campaigns.
What is the team composition?
There have been about five people in total. There’s one person setting up the backend, database, and email system. We’ve also worked with content creative writers and a studio manager.
How did you come to work with Appetite Creative Solutions?
I looked up the top five companies on Clutch that were within my budget and chose Appetite Creative Solutions.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent £25,000 (approximately $31,000 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in February 2020, and it’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Appetite Creative Solutions has done a good job. When the site went live, there were tiny issues but they rectified it within 30 minutes.
The website is great. It’s slick, and it does what it’s supposed to do. I’m happy with everything so far.
How did Appetite Creative Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management style is very good. We have a studio manager, who functions as our project manager. They give me presentation packs to describe what they’re going to be doing with the project timelines.
The completion only ran over by a week, but based on our subscription model, I wasn’t in a rush, so it didn’t matter.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The way they support us is impressive. They tailor what they can to our budget. They’ve gotten us the best bang for our buck.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I’ve been really pleased. They’ve gone above and beyond. Appetite Creative Solutions bend over backward.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be upfront and honest in telling them exactly what you want. You’ve got to have a vision. They ask you the questions in such a structured way that they can get relevant information that you wouldn’t be able to provide yourself.

IE University is one of the world's leading higher education institutions, IE shapes leaders with a global vision, humanistic approach, and entrepreneurial spirit. I am the Marketing & Communications Manager for the IE University Alumni Department in Madrid, Spain.
For what projects/services did your company hire Appetite Creative Solutions?
We have used them for: - Design - Email Marketing - HTML Code - UX/UI
What were your goals for this project?
The idea for this project was to conceptualize a newsletter for the law school alumni. We wanted the agency to come up wit the concept and design; and then code it.
How did you select this vendor?
Word of mouth and then checked out their website for more info, and was finally conviced when i saw their projects and client base.
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
Our initial reachout was in the begining of May, wanting them to design, concept and code the nesletter. Within 1 week we had a propsal for a new design and started form there. We provided them with the content for the newsletter and they developed the html code in 2 days. This is going to be an ongoing project, where they will repeat this process.
What was the team composition?
For our initial meeting we talked to Jenny Stanley (Founder) and Nicolle Brisbane (Studio Manager) to breif them on the project. Moving forward, we stayed in touch with Nicolle most of the time since she was the one managing the project. She bridged the gap between the design and development teams.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We had an 83% open rate within the first 24 hours. Additionally, we heard from the alumni community it was well recieved and got overall positive feedback.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Highly effective. Nicolle was always following up even after we sent it to see how it went. Also, she was very good at meeting the deadlines and setting realistic expectations.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Their design skills were top-notch and they were very professional. Given we are in spain and the newsletter is in english, its hard to find agencies with native english speakers. It was good to work with them for that reason, they doublechecked everything and made sure it made sense even it was not part of their job.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Nope.

I am the Head of Brand Content for a leading children’s cancer charity in the UK. We provide the vital support young cancer patients need to get through their treatment and out the other side with the same life chances and choices as everyone else. I oversee our brand and content production.
For what projects/services did your company hire Appetite Creative Solutions?
As a charity, and in a time of crisis, budgets are especially limited. Appetite offered us incredible support at just the right time for our emergency appeal. The team worked with us to produce online ads for our campaign, animating static creative produced in-house and providing critical advice for the technical aspects and ongoing optimisation.
What were your goals for this project?
As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, our income has dropped 60% which puts the frontline support we provide to young cancer patients at risk. So we wanted to reach as wide an audience as possible with our emergency appeal. With an offer of free online inventory from a national newspaper, we were keen to for the ads to be as eye-catching as possible.
How did you select this vendor?
I was fortunate to have been introduced to Appetite through a mutual connection. From the initial phone call with Jen, it was clear they had industry expertise and experience in abundance. In fact I’m pretty sure I came away better educated!
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
Through a series of follow up emails and phone calls, Appetite gathered an understanding of what we were aiming to achieve, both now and in future. They put together all the creative for the online ads and provided advice on ad servers and associated costings for that. Jen also made extra follow-up calls to make sure things were on track and we would get the most out of the online campaign.
What was the team composition?
I worked closely with Jenny Stanley, Founder and Managing Director, and also with Nicolle Brisbane on the design.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
This campaign has just begun. But initial results indicate the animated ads are performing better.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Both Jenny and Nicolle were both incredibly supportive. Jenny was my main contact day to day and I liaised with Nicolle on the creative production and delivery. I spoke with Jenny almost daily in the setup phase and immediately following launch. The timescales they worked to were short but they made it look effortless getting it done on time – even with a mistake to correct (on our side).
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They are really creative, accommodating and quick! And ready to help with advice and insight based on their solid, up-to-date knowledge of the tech and platforms.
Are there any areas for improvement?
I was really happy with everything, and extremely grateful for their support.
Thanks to Appetite Creative’s efforts, the website engagement has improved. The client is happy with their work and its efficiency on the site. The team stands out for their speed of service and personalized approach. Moreover, they’ve handled the project excellently and exceeded expectations.
