De Beauvoir Block spring highlights
From creative campaigns to award wins, tenants of the De Beauvoir Block have been busy delivering some exceptional work over the past few months. Read more about some of their successes below.
Action and adventure agency
A warm welcome to new café member All Conditions Media, a social, PR and creative content agency specialising in action sports, adventure travel and cultural representation. Delivering multi-channel campaigns, sell-out events, and authentic storytelling, their motto is ‘Take Action to Inspire’. Learn more here.
Creative campaigns
Film and animation studio Ecstasy of Gold has been working with Braun on Say It with a Shave – a virtual event designed to capture the anticipation, excitement and irresistible energy of an exhibition launch show... but all online. Twelve fast-paced interviews champion Braun’s products and feature the likes of TV personality Fred Sirieix. See more here.
Creative consultancy The Liminal Space has presented ‘Your Future Food’, a thought-provoking installation exploring thinking around the environmental and health impacts of different foods. The interactive display, called The Future Fridge, was developed in collaboration with Imperial College London and their community partner Nourish Hub. It will next be appearing at the Great Exhibition Road Festival in London on 17 and 18 June – go and check it out!
Elsewhere, the second season of the mini-series Acura Type S: Chiaki's Journey has been released by The Line Animation. The series follows the story of Chiaki, a young racecar driver, and showcases a seamless mix of hand-drawn and 3D animation, in an impressionistic visual style. Watch the episode here.
And ahead of the Sheffield Tattoo Festival, Tom J Newall – represented by boutique artist agency Roar Artists – was asked to create artwork for the event, which aims to champion diversity. Check out Tom’s work here.

A party powered by Gusty the wind turbine
It’s always good to host a party – but the event held on Benyon Estate land on Monday (November 4th) was a party with a purpose! In partnership with Octopus Energy and the pro-growth campaign group, Britain Remade, we welcomed journalists and guests from the energy sector to a Turbine Build Party to demonstrate the technology needed to tackle climate change.
Albers in the news
Congratulations to Albers – one of our fantastic foodie tenants – who has been hitting the headlines with good news since the opening of its new café on Englefield Road earlier this summer.
Gusty the wind turbine coming soon...
The Benyon Estate is supporting a campaign to help remove planning barriers for the creation of new clean energy in urban areas. As a result of this there is a trial taking place on the yard at the rear of 62 and 64 Southgate Road.
