There are many reasons for a brand to own its own typeface, it expresses your brand’s unique identity, connecting emotionally with your audience. But the value of an ownable, bespoke typeface goes beyond establishing brand loyalty and love. When you buy a bespoke typeface, it’s yours and yours alone. You have complete ownership to use and distribute it as you wish, there are no complex licensing agreements to be navigated and no knock-on hidden costs. D8 have cut bespoke typefaces for a number of brands recently including Walker’s Shortbread, Benromach and Canal , if this is something you’re interested in discussing, please DM me or contact [email protected] we’d be delighted to speak with you.

Great to see our long-standing client Johnstons of Elgin in the spotlight at the Dior Cruise 2025 show earlier this week. Christian Dior Couture creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri masterminded the show, held in the terraced gardens of Drummond Castle, Perthshire. Speaking with Vogue Business, Jenny Urquhart, fourth-generation family member and vice-chair of Johnstons of Elgin, said: “For generations, our purpose has been in protecting and developing rare textile manufacturing craft skills. To have Maria Grazia Chiuri and her team select Scottish makers for the Dior show is not only a reflection of the quality and beauty of our work but an enormous endorsement and support for Scottish textile manufacturing.”
We helped create the world's first shortbread vending machine! Working in partnership with Walker's Shortbread Ltd. and Kounter, we applied our re-charged Walker’s brand to a show- (and tourist) stopping experiential activation at Edinburgh Airport. We created the UX/UI and content for the interactive quiz at the heart of the activation, delighting passers-by in a fun, engaging way, climaxing with a delicious shortbread reward to send them happily on their travels. Another great example of ‘Scotland at its finest’ and a brand on the move.

Calling all Yachties! Are you dreaming of a life Below Deck? Introducing Hayu’s “Yachtie Academy”, our global marketing campaigns inspired by the insights from Below Deck’s fan research revealing that one of the key reasons viewers love watching the series is that it makes them feel equipped to take on the role of a yachtie themselves! You will see some familiar faces here, Romesh Ranganathan the devoted fan of a franchise, plays the role of a yachtie training instructor, content creator Max Balegde is our energetic recruit, while GK Barry is a sun-seeking fabulous yacht guest. In a first for Hayu, the campaign also includes a cast member with chief stew Daisy Kelliher playing the part of a recruit instructor. Casting Below Deck fans, who happen to be famous, is a strategic component of our approach as the range of the recognisable cast reinforces the broad appeal of the franchise. This campaign takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to depicting what it takes to become a yachtie which, at times, includes navigating slightly absurd but very entertaining challenges. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The campaign had its special debut at Mighty Hoopla this weekend and the fans loved it! Specials thank you for the most amazing talented Hayu team and our agency partners Fraser Stapleton Melissa Ahlstrand Grace Wolanski Victor Hermida Kimberley Pang-Martin Ashleigh Grier Rosie Lord Ilona Gatherer Mark Carter D8 MediaCom New Stance
The positive power of the shared experience of live classical music led us to ask curious audiences to ‘Imagine … Now Hear it Live’ in the Season 2024/25 campaign for the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Bold typographic messaging and visualisation of themes, emotions, programming and virtuoso talent combine to take you the first step of the way there.
Great podcast and a great project to work on, well done to everyone involved…
