Take a chill pill – with ChillPills

By Branding

Studies1 show 100% of the workforce suffer from workplace-related frustrations. Tired of colleague-induced migraines and OT stress, fellow jaded salarymen at social media agency PROTOCOL put their heads together and came up with a minty-fresh cure. 

“We’ve all been in a situation where you want to tell someone to take a chill pill. Now you can literally – and this is the right use of ‘literally’ – offer them ChillPills,” said Kelvin Kao, Managing Director of PROTOCOL and creative lead for ChillPills. 

A custom prescription of ChillPills includes a set of dosage instructions, a tin of mints, and a personalised medical leave certificate.

ChillPills has been featured in Marketing Magazine, the Drum, Campaign Asia, Mumbrella, and other advertising trade titles.

fifty-two: a celebration of SG52

By Branding

In celebration of SG52, we decided to develop a deck of 52 playing cards, with each card having an illustrated icon of Singapore.

We shared it on social basically for fun, it went viral and requests to buy kept coming in. In the end we sold out two complete print runs and decided to call it a day.

Oh and fifty-two was featured in over 20+ media mentions including Straits Times, Sunday Times, Nylon Magazine, Juice Magazine, Mothership, SGAG, The Smart Local, Honeycombers, 8 Days, Teenage, the Weekender, and Monocle Magazine. That was pretty cool.
