Happy Holidays from Creative Semiotics
It's been a busy Christmas at Creative Semiotics.
I’ve been working on an exciting ideation project visualizing new brand variant pack routes for a
global company. I have also managed to fit in small projects on care in corporate communications
ads and on the semiotics of Welshness.
Creative Semiotics was also featured recently in The Drum in an article looking at the cultural
codes within UK retailer Christmas ads from John Lewis to M&S.

Your deadline is on 1st February 2016 if you have something you want to share on the topic of

Do get in touch with any project requirements. Remember that semiotics can be used for creating
new brands, to inspire new packaging, new programming, to help understand why communication
does or doesn’t work, or to take brands global. I've got a fantastic network and capacity from mid
Jan, so be in touch.
On a final note, Happy Christmas! Here is a seasonal message with a topical twist for all you Star
Wars fans out there.
