AND THERE SHE WAS, AN URBAN ANGEL. MADE NOT BORN.

As she walked upon the sands, the eyes of the multitudes followed. And when she turned to speak to them, they saw that ghd sea spritz had blessed her with beautiful, natural movement.

And she spoke to them of the miraculous soothing effects of ghd cooling mist, and amazed them with sun survivor shampoo & conditioner, and they no longer feared the sun.

AND THERE SHE WAS, AN URBAN ANGEL. MADE NOT BORN.

They knew the urban angel was amongst them and that with ghd ceramic styling irons and oil she had created straight, sleek beautiful hair.

And she said unto them, for you shall also see the truth about ghd tri-style and you shall know gloss, sheen and street glamour.

AND THERE HE WAS, AN URBAN ANGEL. MADE NOT BORN.

Fear not, he said unto them, you too shall know street glamour, for my own sleek, straight hair is created by ghd mini styling irons and wet wax. And he spoke of sculpting and impact, and of modelling wax, and they knew that styling was back, and saw that it was good.

BRADFORD COLLEGE

Bradford College wanted to give their student recruitment drive a massive boost. They got it with ‘Rocket Fuel For Your Future’. 

In fact, the campaign worked so well, it ran (or rather flew) for the next five years.

THE PROPAGANDA AGENCY
New business campaign

As an agency, Propaganda never tried to be all things to all clients. In fact, this was probably its greatest strength. With a firm belief in the power of insight-driven, disruptive marketing, Propaganda attracted clients who appreciated the value of being challenged by a different way of thinking – and the results it brings. Iconic hair-beauty brand ghd – recently sold for over £420 million – is a shining example. Launched to massive success by Propaganda as ‘A new religion for hair’, this invaluable ‘brand truth’ gave ghd the head start it needed on the way to becoming a global phenomenom.

Based on the insight that Propaganda’s genuinely different approach would not appeal to everyone, this campaign (which ran as a series of ‘teasers’ before the ‘reveal’ on consecutive pages in ‘The Drum’ magazine) was credited with three major new business wins in the weeks that followed.

 Everyone was happy.

NOT FOR EVERYONE

If it’s time you saw some dramatic improvements, maybe you should be talking to a new kind of agency.

An agency that challenges everything, from your way of thinking to your way of doing things.

An agency that goes way beyond the brief, looking at every aspect of your brand to see how its true value can be realised.

An agency where ideas will always come above reports.

An agency that believes everything we do should give you the courage to succeed.

In short, an agency that knows the most uncomfortable place you can be is the comfort zone.

As we say, Propaganda is not for everyone.

Then again it might, just might, be for you.
