Properly planned demonstrations can be an effective tool for lobbying Governments and encouraging organisations to act in a more socially responsibly manner.

Here are a few special causes we have recently helped our clients produce eye-catching material for.

Animal Equality UK

Before collecting his recent BAFTA Award for his performance of The Joker, Joaquin Phoenix joined other activist members of Animal Equality UK on Tower Bridge. They unfurled a giant banner and held placards in a peaceful demonstration, focusing on the link between animal agriculture and climate change.

Extinction Rebellion

Extinction Rebellion are an international apolitical network using non-violent direct action to pursue their three-point objectives. They want to persuade governments declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025 and to create a Citizens' Assembly on climate and ecological justice.

We've recently produced a number of banners and placards for their eye-catching demonstrations within London, which have gained publicity all over the world.

Most of the banners and placards you have seen on the news are ones we have printed for them. The banners were printed on 440gsm PVC, which can have eyelet holes punched through if needed for hanging purposes.

Like the Animal Equality boards, their placards were also printed on 3mm Foamex. We also screwed wooden battens to the backs of each board so they're easy to hold up in a crowd.
