Marketing firm Carswell Gould have picked up Platinum and Gold at the Hermes Creative Awards 2022.

The award-winning agency, based in Southampton, have been recognised for outstanding work in the concept, writing and design of traditional and emerging media.

Creative Director Ed Gould said: “Winning worldwide recognition in the highly respected Hermes Creative Awards is a real honour. Receiving platinum and gold awards for two of our successful campaigns for our clients is a tremendous achievement and a proud moment for all the team.”

The firm were awarded the Platinum Winner 2022 award for their work with The Solicitors’ Charity on their recent branding refresh campaign ‘Solicitors for the Bounce Back’. They also picked up the Gold Winner 2022 award for their integrated marketing campaign for the WP group’s Red Diesel Switch Campaign.

CEO of the Solicitor’s Charity, Nick Gallagher, praised the firm in light of their success: “Congratulations to Carswell Gould for winning this impressive platinum award for its work with us on The Solicitors’ Charity rebrand.”

He added: “With marketing support with the rebranding and engagement from Carswell Gould, our name changed from Solicitors' Benevolent Association to The Solicitors' Charity. Through our new website, developed by Carswell Gould, we are now able to share news about our expanding range of support and information to reach solicitors who are most in need of help.

“As a result of the charity's rebrand, between January and October 2020, we funded 42% more cases and helped 60% more people compared to the same period in 2019 and we will continue to provide this sustained and far-reaching support to those solicitors in need.”

This may not be the only recognition received by Carswell Gould this year, as their work for the Solicitor’s Charity has also been shortlisted as a finalist for the Re-brand or Re-launch Strategy of the Year award at The Drum Marketing Awards 2022.

Emily Braybrook, Design Lead on both projects, said: “It’s brilliant to see our work getting this sort of recognition and winning international awards - I’m super proud to have played a part in making these projects alongside the Carswell Gould team and our brilliant clients at The Solicitors’ Charity and WP Group.”
