The Very Group expands creative capabilities by launching HelloStudio
April 3, 2025
The Very Group, which operates digital retailers Very and Littlewoods, has today announced the launch of HelloStudio which brings the power of its data-led creative capabilities to external brands.
The Very Group has a rich history of delivering creative campaigns to captivate audiences, including those for global brands. This expertise is what will be at the heart of HelloStudio. The new proposition will provide a multi-channel creative service which taps into the latest technology, offering bespoke and tailored content that connects brands to their consumers.
Leveraging The Very Group’s 1.4M daily site visits, 4.3M active customers and tech capabilities, HelloStudio will utilise the retailer’s wealth of customer data throughout the ideation process to collaborate with brand partners on new concepts. Plus, the unique combination of personal, shopping and financial data will support HelloStudio in curating omnichannel campaign assets that truly resonate with how customers shop.
The launch of the new creative solution follows the successful roll-out of Very Media Group, which combines the internal retail and data expertise of The Very Group and the retail media knowledge of the in-house SMG team.
Julie Phelan, Head of Creative at The Very Group said: “I’m thrilled to unveil our new creative proposition, HelloStudio. We’ve been working with brands, delivering eye-catching creative campaigns for years now, so while the proposition is new, working with brands has been at the heart of The Very Group for a long time.
“We have a proven record of conceptualising and delivering channel bespoke content which customers love. There is no channel after thought or retrofitting in our work. Plus, we harness and embrace new technology to enhance our rich content. Just one example of this is our use of AI to help amplify illustrations which our team creates for storyboards, it helps to speed up processes and adds another dimension to the vision. As a creative team filled with curiosity, we’re always looking for new ways to take campaigns to the next level, and embracing new technology plays a big part.
“We are an ideas driven, data informed creative team, providing a unique experience for our partners, all backed by our reputation as trusted brand guardians and collaborative partnership approach. But don’t just take our word for it, our recent creative campaigns, which have been made possible through Very Media Group brand partnerships, have been a great success and I’m excited to be able to extend this to new partners.”
The HelloStudio team’s experience spans big household names across diverse categories, from Adidas and Apple, to Levi’s, Ray-Ban Meta and SharkNinja, helping deliver material increases in key measures such as sales, return on ad spend and social conversions.
HelloStudio is being unveiled today at the Very Media Group conference in Liverpool, the home The Very Group.
