Notable campaigns

Work Club's most notable campaigns are:

Carte Noire Readers

The Carte Noire Readers were created to appeal to Carte Noire's predominantly female audience. These coffee-break-length, Jackanory-style book readings featured desirable male actors Dominic West, Greg Wise, Dan Stevens and Joseph Fiennes.

McLaren 'The Race'

To accompany and augment live TV broadcasts Work Club designed The Race 1.0b. A software app unique to McLaren, live only when the car is on the track, delivering real-time updates and raw data from the car, the drivers and the pit. This project won the ‘best website' award at the One Show awards, NYC 2010.

Sharp FanLabs

To promote Sharp's sponsorship of the UEFA Euro 2012, Work Club built laboratories filled with Sharp technology to monitor fans' behaviour – not just what they were saying, but also what they were thinking while watching matches. The FanLabs laboratory is also accompanied by an online survey to further monitor fans.

Ballantine's Human API

Work Club created an app called "Human API" to illustrate Ballantine's strap line "leave an impression". The app accessed via Ballantine's Facebook page allowed users to comment and advise artists live as they worked on a series of projects. This project won the IAB creative showcase award 2011.
