Integrated reporting: getting the balance right

Gabriel’s approach recognises the importance of keeping messages “crisp” and the environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors that have an increasingly important impact on corporate value, sustainability and reputation.

Clear and compelling content, beautifully designed

One of the first annual reports we ever worked on was for Allied Lyons Plc (which became Allied Domecq, now part of Pernod Ricard). The cover shot pictured above depicting a Master Cooper signalled the craft and quality at the heart of the company’s proposition. This image was one of many in a series of photographs taken by world renowned photographers Anthony Armstrong-Jones, Lord Snowden and John Claridge. “The shoot took us from Canada to Mexico, across the US and to Jamaica…” said Chris Warner, Gabriel Head of Brand & Creative Services, who art-directed and managed the project. “We were reporting at a critical time in the company's development, marking its acquisition of Canadian drinks giant Hiram Walker, articulating the benefits of the deal to shareholders and crucially, setting out its vision for the future.”

Expert, differentiated, value-for-money

Dozens of reports and other business-critical communications have followed since, for clients ranging from Northumbrian Water Group to NatWest. Today, working predominantly in the financial and business services sectors, our team is focused on offering clients a versatile and cost-effective service; strong, differentiating ideas, without the big agency price tags.

“Integrated reporting [offers] the opportunity to present the company as an advocate of sustainability, align the company’s risks with its opportunities, and adopt a more holistic view of the real drivers of corporate performance”
