On Your Side

This was an ad campaign designed for giffgaff to promote their application to become a B Corp company. It is a series of 3 posters, all featuring a knight in shing armour. By using the knight as a recurring character, a sense of stability and decency is conveyed, suggesting that giffgaff is a company that values integrity and doing the right thing. This campaign could inspire people to consider the impact of the companies they support and encourage them to choose businesses that prioritise sustainability, community engagement, and ethical practices.
