MOREVER marks 10 years in style with fabulous Soho House celebration

Creative agency for charities and changemakers, MOREVER celebrated its 10th birthday with a glittering, and very pink, party at Soho House in Brighton.

Founded by Abi and Dan Mellor, along with Larry Chan, in 2014, Brighton-based MOREVER has been delivering successful campaigns for ten years. In that time it has created outstanding film and animation campaigns for some of the nation’s best-loved charities, including the British Red Cross, the Stroke Association, Co-op Foundation, Greenpeace and Dementia UK, and it has helped brands such as Google, Unilever and the Metropolitan Police to tell their stories.

Guests included the great and the good from Brighton’s thriving creative agency community, including James Armstrong and Mel Berry from Social Firefly, Gavin Willis from Search Seven, Joe Perkins of Chaptr, Grant Jennings from Creative Blend, and Ellie Hale of Reflect Digital and founder of AgencyLand, a community for agency founders and agency leaders. Also present were Jess Rad, founder of The WomanHood, MOREVER’s clients from the charity sector, and talented creatives from the network it has built during its 10-year history.

During her speech, Managing Director Abi Mellor took a moment to thank guests for their support of the agency during its journey to 10. She also showed a ‘highlights’ film put together by MOREVER’s in-house editor, Kazz Thompson. The film was a fun and engaging montage of behind the scenes moments and clips from many of the agency’s most celebrated projects, including its award winning work for Blind Veterans UK and Walking With The Wounded. After showing the film, she went on to announce the launch of a new podcast from MOREVER – Leading Lights.

Leading Lights is hosted by Abi. Each episode features a female chief executive from the charity sector, sharing her journey to leadership. Together, Abi and her guests discuss the challenges along the path, and how, with such a busy role, they manage life. Its aim is to help other women walking similar paths learn how to put themselves in the frame for leadership roles while also striking that life balance.

The podcast will launch with three episodes on the 2nd of December. Its first guests include April Baker, Chief Executive of Sussex loneliness charity, Together Co, Rachel Clift, Chief Executive of Ben, and Sarah Hughes, Chief Executive of MIND.

Party guests enjoyed delicious smoked salmon blinis, avocado tostadas and sausage rolls and a raspberry and lemon cake decorated with pink flowers, supplied by Marples Cakery.

Music was provided by local band, Starling. The group features MOREVER’s producer, Angeline Elliott alongside her colleagues from a previous role at Anything Is Possible, including Kitty Martin, Andy McLane and Ethan Campbell.

Following two rocking sets from Starling, including a dance floor filling rendition of ‘Are you gonna be my girl?’ by Jet, MOREVER’s Creative Director Dan Mellor (AKA DJ Concrete) stepped up to the decks, amping up the night with an eclectic mix of tunes from the weird to the wonderful.

This event provided the ideal opportunity for MOREVER team members to mark the occasion, celebrate with business peers, and thank the clients, supporters and collaborators who’ve been part of the story so far. The team, a powerhouse of skill and enthusiasm, is looking ahead to the next chapter, including further growth as well as the fresh new campaigns it will be launching over the coming months.

We look forward to seeing what awesome creative ideas come from this agency over the next 10 years.
