Authentic. Gritty. Meaningful.

Some fresh work for the Brisbane Lions as they launch their 2025 campaign off the back of an unwavering 2024 that saw them clinch the flag.

'Built on Belief' introduces audiences to the spirit that unites the club's fans. Those who knew they could go all the way, even when all the chips were against them.

The spot features real Lions fans, cast from the Lions' own database. Real people, filmed in environments that connect them to the club. Spoken by the Lions coach Chris Fagan, this poetic, yet powerful, spot touches on a sense of nostalgia, journeying from the club’s beginnings through to today as the Lions embark on an exciting 2025.

**Location..Location..Location**
L+S are looking for an office space that should feel like it’s a bit behind the times! Think mundanity over modernity.

The ideal office will have very little natural lighting, plenty of fluoros above head, suspended ceilings and a couple of parched (or faded plastic) office plants for good measure.

Firstly if this is your workspace come and hot desk at L+S instead, otherwise send us an email for a paid opportunity!

New work for @spitwateraus immersing audiences in the lives of Australia’s Hardworking Heroes. They are the human faces, weathered, creased and sweat-laden as they are, of the market that Spitwater supplies. Stories bringing to life tales untold, of grit, determination and resilience. A meaningful, engaging and unmistakably real series that connects Spitwater to consumers through the brands embodiment in its Hard-Working Heros. A big thanks to the contributors who took part in this filming, letting us spend a day in their lives covered in grease, dirt and salt water. /// Agency: @thehero.co Creative: @eddie__coghlan Copywriter: Rachel Guest Snr Account Mngr: Lisa Eichholz Prod Co: @lightandshademedia Director/DP: @bam_bam_stagram Block Photographers: @joshuamaguire @coreyschweikert Producers: @emmahorne6 @meaganbabore Camera Assist: Joe Morgan Production Runner: @mouels_media Post Production: Light + Shade Offline + Online Editor: @rohancooper_post Motion Design: @jleggereit

Our latest campaign for Ramsay Health Care was all about the casting. To genuinely depict the beautiful moments following birth, we cast babies who hadn’t even been born yet. Engaging with a handful of families with due dates spread across three weeks, we respectfully and compassionately worked to make the process special, ensuring we catered to their every request and preserved those meaningful first, few days. Each baby featured was no more than 10 days old which allowed us to capture the raw emotion and special nature of the interaction between parents and their new, little human. A massive thanks to the families, client and agency for their trust in our process.
