Vardo by Mamas & Papas UK was all about breaking the mould. 🎥

This time, we ditched the polished aesthetic for something raw, relaxed, and full of character to target a fresh audience.

Our team searched high and low to get their hands on vintage lenses and an old-school camcorder to bring that lo-fi, nostalgic feel to life. Every shot was handheld for that perfectly imperfect vibe.

But why the change? 👀

✨ Vardo is designed to appeal to a younger audience looking for accessible and stylish options.
🏙️ It fits seamlessly with a city-living lifestyle and is available in independent stores, giving it a unique edge.
📹 To lean into the real, unfiltered moments that resonate with young Millennials and Gen Z, who crave authenticity.

Mamas & Papas trusted us to take the creative wheel on this one, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Stay tuned. A full case study on our creative approach is coming soon. 👀

Storytelling with emotion at its core is a powerful way to engage an audience, and this video we created for Mamas & Papas UK is no exception. 🤲

When Mamas & Papas shared this campaign on their socials, the comments were filled with followers sharing their own personal stories. From IVF journeys to family milestones, it sparked a wave of connection.

One person shared, “This hit so hard! After years of trying, my little boy wished for a baby last Christmas, and now we’ll have our miracle in 4 weeks time." Another said, “This video just gave me goosebumps, I love this story... everything is magical."

Brand storytelling through video doesn’t just have to inform, it can stir emotion that helps build lasting connections.

We recently teamed up with Christy to create a series of stills and videos to introduce their latest collection, all shot on location in Yorkshire.

This project was all about creating inviting, cloud-like scenes that radiate relaxation. Our team worked closely with Christy, curating the look with layered bedding, natural textures, and soft, soothing hues. 🌿🛏️

We dare you to watch this and not want to crawl back into bed 😴

At Rig2, we know the power of video when it comes to showcasing services, like Mamas & Papas UK's in-store car seat consultations.

Video doesn’t just inform, it builds trust and creates a real connection with potential customers, helping to convert those browsers into buyers.

In fact, 73% of consumers say watching a video influences their purchase decisions.

For this project, we worked closely with Mamas & Papas to capture the consultation experience in action, helping their customers feel confident and informed before they even step foot in-store.

Video is key for making a real-life connection with customers... let us show you how it’s done. 🎥

✨ New Work for John Lewis ✨

We recently had the pleasure of showcasing two new mattress ranges - Breathe and Recover - for John Lewis & Partners.

From product cutouts to fully dressed beds, we were challenged to design and create two unique sets to capture the essence of each range.

For Breathe: Inspired by a cosy Victorian bedroom with a touch of Japandi elegance. 🛏️

For Recover: A bright, modern space with bold geometric prints and vibrant colours. 🎨

From start to finish, we handled everything - production, set build, styling, photography, and retouching, resulting in 92 assets for John Lewis’s ecom and social platforms.

Here's a sneak peek of our recent Whitemeadow Furniture shoot, where we tackled the challenge of shooting 10 sofa ranges across just 2 studio sets. 🛠

This job was a true masterclass in precise planning, quick turnovers, and making the budget work as effectively as possible.

Our stylist and set build teams got creative - rearranging, repainting, and restyling each set to give every sofa range a unique backdrop that perfectly complements its design.

Our Senior Interior Stylist & Set Designer, Laura La Gambina, summed it up best:

"Part of the fun and challenge (!) of styling interior room sets is creating very different aesthetics on a deadline. But armed with the best team, a solid plan, and of course, some bespoke art, it all came together gorgeously."
