🐘 The wood that doesn’t look like an elephant.
Creative consultants based in Manchester and London with over 35 years of ideas and experience.
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
There’s been some elephant-sized change here at Squad. 

We’ve united with @thechasecreative to form an expanded global brand studio, bringing our clients and team under the Chase name and creating a combined leadership team to take the business forward.

Founded by Ben Casey and Lionel Hatch in 1986, the Chase is one of the most awarded creative consultancies in the world.

We’ve always admired the Chase’s creative philosophy captured in their woodcarver’s tale. 

It’s a simple yarn.

One about how, when a talented woodcarver was asked how he carved such masterful elephants from blocks of timber, his neat reply was, “I just cut away the wood that doesn’t look like an elephant.”

It’s a celebration of pin-sharp creative thinking; a belief that is stronger than ever as brands battle to express precisely who they are in a noisy and ever-changing world.

Together, we will unite around this philosophy and the Chase’s approach of being creative consultants, not just executing briefs but proactively advising clients on how creativity can grow their brands.

We will deploy creativity upstream at a strategic level and work across identity systems, campaigns, and digital, physical, and environmental design, bringing coherence to brands across mediums and media.

As well as creating a stronger proposition, our coming together is about succession, building a leadership team equipped to take the business forward into the future.

Most recently, Ben Casey and Bev Hutchinson have led the Chase.

Rob Gray joins as Managing & Strategy Director.

David Barraclough joins as Creative Director.

Both will become shareholders alongside award-winning Film & Creative Director Mark Gill and Business Director Alex Roberts, founders of the Chase’s Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated production company, @thechasefilms.

It’s a natural evolution, that takes both businesses to the next level.

Team members and clients are unchanged.

Manchester remains our home.

Our union further expands the Chase’s capabilities amongst the most renowned, independent agencies across the globe.

We look forward to everyone who’s been part of Squad continuing to be part of the business as we unite as the Chase. by @thechasecreative

🎉🐘 The Winner of The Chase Student Brief 25/26 is @manisha_graphics_ from @norwichuni_graphics / @norwichuniarts 

Congratulations to Manisha, who’s typographic brand for parkrun was voted as the winner of The Chase’s inaugural student brief. We were particularly impressed by the depth and craft evident throughout the project. Beyond the initial concept and visual identity, the brand was extended through copywriting, digital applications, and motion graphics.

For project to win our Student Brief, the most important thing will always be the idea. A project without an idea is just wallpaper – decoration without purpose. We found Manisha’s typographic-led concept, representing the variable characters that are welcome at parkrun, to be a visual identity that could run and run. 

Thank you to everyone who submitted their work, we appreciate everyone that took the time to work on and submit their new vision for parkrun.

Being Commended denotes a project which we thought showed real promise, a solid idea and stood out from the rest. While they didn’t quite get to the level to win overall, there was something that stood out to our judges.

Remaining coveted and collected for over 100 years is a big deal. Small wonder @royalmailofficial wanted to release a set of stamps celebrating @officialhornby model trains, one of Britain’s most loved and enduring toys. We were thrilled to be asked to design them.

🚂 New work: @royalmailofficial / @officialhornby Stamps

Designing a set of stamps for a miniature marvel posed a big problem.

Hornby trains are engineered with astonishing precision. Photographed well and viewed at stamp size, these beautifully engineered and highly detailed models could easily pass for the real thing.

We dramatised the scale to ensure they remained unmistakably miniature.

Two sides of the same card…

This year, our Christmas card celebrates two sides of what we do. One takes its direction from iconic Christmas films, spotlighting our film team, The Chase Films. The other is inspired by classic Christmas cards, illustrating The Chase.

Designed, printed and foiled as five distinct cards, each inspired by a different era of Christmas cinema, and created short films to share with you.

Happy Christmas
The Chase Films & The Chase

She joined us for a few weeks between her second and third year at @unioftheartslondon, bringing energy and creativity to the team. It’s been a pleasure having her with us, and we can’t wait to see what she does next!
