Working in collaboration with Atlassian Williams Racing we have brought the teams 2025 visual world to life, introducing the FW47 and its fresh new driver line-up of Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon, launching at the F175 Anniversary Show at London's O2 Arena.

With a rich history of technical innovation and numerous wins through the years the third most successful team in Formula 1 is embarking on a bold new chapter with the Science in Action campaign, a dynamic initiative designed to celebrate its legacy while redefining its future.

The introduction of Atlassian as a title partner marks a pivotal shift for Williams, ushering in a new era of modernisation and performance. With substantial investment in talent and a renewed commitment to technical and scientific excellence, the team's Oxfordshire HQ is accelerating its evolution.

The campaign crafts a visually arresting narrative that blends art, technology, and human performance. Inspired by the striking works of Ryoji Ikeda and James Turrell, the creative direction moves beyond traditional LED screens, introducing an immersive architectural environment that amplifies the team’s spirit.

From intimate driver portraits to architecturally formed stage design, the campaign captures the essence of Formula 1’s precision and passion. The launch film brings together the raw energy of Williams’ latest evolution, while sound design from Concrete Form ensures a visceral, high-impact experience.

By embracing its storied past while pushing towards an ambitious future, Williams Racing proves that legacy isn’t just about looking back, it’s about driving forward.

To celebrate Formula 1's 75th anniversary, a sold-out event was held at the O2 Arena, watched live by a global audience of over 7.5 million fans. Leading the creative direction and design for Williams' seven-minute segment, we collaborated closely with the shows director Brian Burke Creative. Together, we crafted a stage production that honoured the team's rich heritage before seamlessly transitioning into the modern era, bringing their visual identity to life across the massive 50 meter wide screens.
