LCS

LCS develops and produces culturally-impactful creative, strategy and content for film, television and digital media.

Our credits include an award-winning, artist-led music and arts film series for Frieze and Gucci led by Jeremy Deller's 'Everybody in the Place' which was ranked #17 in The Guardian's Best 50 TV Shows of 2019; Grierson and BAFTA winning documentaries including the Grierson Best Cinema Doc award-winning biopic 'Joy Division', and lead agency across Nike's editorial content development and production in London and content partner for their EMEA and global output.

We also identify opportunities, and shape and implement innovative editorial, entertainment and partnership content strategies for brands that deliver engagement and growth. In her previous roles our creative lead conceived and executed a business case to develop the Guardian’s global journalism across video, podcasts and print into material for audio-visual adaptation. This is now a partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment across scripted and non-fiction television, sport and factual entertainment and scripted feature film, with productions for the BBC, Sky and Netflix to date. She also shaped and executed editorial, branded entertainment and brand partnership video content strategy for arts and culture global media company and art fair Frieze, which increased revenue and engagement by a third in 12-months.

We develop, produce and finance distinctive and cinematic documentaries most often about music, art, history and society working with filmmakers who bring unexpected and fresh perspectives. Our credits include Jeremy Deller's much-loved 'Everybody in the Place', a documentary which brought fresh perspective to the cultural and societal impact of rave and was voted no.17 in The Guardian’s Best 50 TV Shows of 2019; The Grierson Best Cinema Documentary award-winning ‘Joy Division’ directed by Grant Gee and written by Jon Savage; ‘Our Hobby is Depeche Mode’ about the nature of fandom directed by Jeremy Deller and Nick Abrahams which premiered at the BFI London Film Festival and broadcast on BBC’s Storyville and Matt Wolf’s Grierson-nominated drama documentary adaptation of Jon Savage’s book ‘Teenage: The Creation of Youth', which blends archival footage and 16mm recreations to tell the pre-history of youth, narrated by Ben Whishaw and featuring Alden Ehrenreich.  Our films are Grierson and BAFTA-winning and have premiered at Sundance, Toronto International Film Festival, Tribeca, Sheffield Doc/Fest and BFI London Film Festival.

We identify opportunities and shape and implement innovative branded entertainment content strategy which delivers measurable engagement and growth.

The film series we created for Gucci in partnership with Frieze built on Gucci's rich history of arts patronage by working with artist filmmakers to write and direct the series. The series was activated on Gucci's and Frieze's digital channels, in-store and at live events and amplified organically, without media spend, through organic television broadcast and invitation to screen and exhibit at film festivals, museums, galleries, artist retrospectives, cultural programmes and art fairs.

The series includes Jeremy Deller’s much-loved ‘Everybody in The Place’, a documentary which brought fresh perspective to the cultural and societal impact of rave. The film was broadcast on the BBC and voted no.17 in The Guardian’s Best 50 TV Shows of 2019, described by Another Man as 'a work of public art in the truest sense of the term' and continues to connect with audiences around the world five years after launch through film festivals, art fairs, galleries, museums and cultural programmes - most recently exhibiting as part of Jeremy’s retrospectives at museums in France and Copenhagen, at 180 Studios in London and in his book 'Art is Magic'.

In her previous roles our creative lead conceived and established a studio at the Guardian developing its global journalism across video, podcasts and print into material for audio-visual adaptation, which is now a partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Our branded content takes an authentic approach to culture, community and heritage.

We partnered with Nike London to lead creative development and production in the launch of editorial content formats across their channels. This included community casting alongside Nike athletes and trainers, and investment in off-screen talent from under-represented communities, from entry positions to heads of department.

Our projects include Nike Jordan's first Black history campaign outside the US, creating and producing a multi-channel, cross-generational conversation between Brixton's musicians, activists and basketball players past and present, and Marcus Rashford's social justice projects in partnership with Nike.
