As we leave the winter chill behind, we’re wrapping up a season of exciting projects and big achievements. From creative campaigns to team milestones, there’s been plenty to celebrate this winter. Here’s a roundup of everything we’ve been up to.
We Brought the English Football League Rainbow Match Ball to Life
The English Football League (EFL) and PUMA partnered to launch the return of an all-new Rainbow match ball, a powerful symbol of the EFL’s ongoing commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. Our team created a dynamic animation that highlighted the significance of the Rainbow match ball, ensuring it stood out across varying social media platforms. Designed to be adaptable for all 72 EFL clubs, the asset delivers a bold and engaging announcement of the launch.
We Partnered with the Eleanor Crook Foundation
We were proud to support the Eleanor Crook Foundation in their campaign for the Nutrition for Growth Summit, designing a compelling ad featured in The Guardian. In partnership with BB Partners, we helped amplify a critical message urging the UK Government to invest in global nutrition. Seeing the campaign published was a proud moment, demonstrating the power of creative work in driving change.
A Poke Christmas to Remember: Introducing ‘The Pokies’
What’s a Poke Christmas party without a bit of fun? Our Managing Director, Nicola, introduced ‘The Pokies’—our very own agency awards, celebrating everything from Best Office DJ to Most Questionable Lunch Choice. And, of course, no Poke night out would be complete without a trip to the karaoke bar to round off the festivities.
We Announced our Partnership with David Lewis
David Lewis is a charity dedicated to supporting individuals with complex needs, including learning disabilities, epilepsy, and autism. We had the privilege of joining their 120-year celebration at Arley Hall, marking over a century of impact. As they continue to grow, we’re excited to work closely with their internal team to refine their brand proposition, ensuring it reflects their incredible work.
Welcoming the Year of the Snake, Poke Style
This Chinese New Year, we celebrated in true Poke fashion—with plenty of dumplings, a feast worthy of Old Hall Street, and an insightful session from our designer, Na, on traditional decorations to bring good luck into the office. As a Rat in the Chinese zodiac and a team full of quick thinkers and problem solvers, the Year of the Snake felt like a perfect match for us!
Nicola Joins Professional Liverpool’s Board
Our Managing Director, Nicola, joined the Professional Liverpool board, supporting its vision for growth and change in the Liverpool City Region. Having worked with Professional Liverpool since their 2020 rebrand, we’re thrilled to see how her marketing expertise will help drive their Change for the Better vision forward.
We Welcomed a New Member to the Team
This February, we welcomed Sophie Dance as our new Marketing Executive. After completing a placement with us in October, we’re thrilled to have her back. Sophie will be focusing on social media strategy, content creation, client engagement, and campaign reporting.
As winter wraps up, we’re stepping into spring with momentum, creativity, and big ambitions. Stay tuned for what’s next—we’ve got plenty in store!
