This year we are putting our best foot forward, and instead of sending out gifts to all of our clients we are donating money to local Bristol Charity, Step By Step, who help young people who are facing hard times, by providing them with accommodation and support.

Brexit

Brexit is a huge event challenging our country’s sense of identity. Whilst the political implications are enormous, Brexit will also have a huge impact on brands as they adapt to a shifting idea of Britain and Britishness. Only time will tell how this all unfolds but we hope that 2021 will herald an opportunity for brands to renew themselves. Whether you agree with it or no Brexit is looming and will undoubtedly bring a new age to Britain, for good or for worse.

What we're watching

It wouldn’t be December without hot chocolate, blankets and weekends spent watching Christmas Movies. Whilst some of the SEMA4 crew are fans of the modern hits some of us still turn to the classics to get our festive fix. 

Here are just some of our favs, old and new.

What we're working on

Hilton Winter Offer 

This month we are celebrating the successful launch of the Hilton Winter offer campaign Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A multi-channel campaign across 17 languages delivered in record time. Reaching our audiences through email, display, social media and owned channels we expect the campaign to meet and exceed its KPIs and objectives.

What we're looking back on

Sema4 Christmas Parties!
Sadly this year we wont be able to all unite for our annual big Xmas Knees up, but that doesn’t mean that we cant look back on memories from Christmas Dos past and remind ourselves how lucky we are to work with such a good bunch of humans!

 


It’s been one hell of a year but everyone here at Sema4 is smiling and ready to take 2021. We look forward to seeing you all again in the new year!

All the best,The Sema4 Team
