We’re a pretty proactive bunch here at Clearbox and love to discuss what our dreams, aspirations and goals are for the company. We especially like to chat about what brands we would like to add to our already amazing client list.
Hannah Uprichard is big into manifestation, so she asked the team to write down some clients we’d love to work with in the future, and I guess we’ll see if they come true. It's worked for us before (hello Amazon, Deliveroo, Sky, Oatly & more!). Take it away, Hannah.
I’ll kick us off with a client I’d love to work with in 2024.
One thing you should know about me is that I love a good trip away, and I would say 90% of the time when I stay away from home, I’m staying in an Airbnb – which is why I would love to work with them in 2024. Having stayed in Airbnbs across Northern Ireland and ROI, Budapest, Portugal, Spain, Italy and so on… I can safely say I trust this company and I feel they provide a great opportunity to experience different cultures in a unique way.
I think Clearbox would be a great fit to work with Airbnb as we all love to travel and enjoy sharing our unique experiences with each other. On top of this, we’re creative, enthusiastic and forward thinking – meaning we could create some really great campaigns regionally, nationally, and maybe even globally!
The ideas are already floating around in my head… Airbnb if you see this, hit us up!
And on that note, let’s move on to the rest of the team… so, what brand would you like to work with in 2024?

I’d love to work with Audible.
I love everything about it – the selection, the performances, the price and the customer service. It’s a brilliant company that has helped to reignite my love of reading and I think the company does some fantastic campaigns.
Clearbox would be a great fit for Audible in two main areas – community support and press office campaigns targeting national and regional media in the UK and Ireland. Our team is also full of bookworms – we’re always discussing our favourite reads, favourite authors and what’s up next on the book shopping list.

A brand I would absolutely love to work with in 2024 is Lego!
I’ve loved this brand since I was a child and that love has grown throughout my adolescence and adulthood. I especially love the brand’s commitment to children’s development and how inspiring they are.
I find their community engagement programme super inspiring and I think they’d be a fantastic fit culturally, as they embody a lot of our core values like creativity, care and humility.
I also wouldn’t mind a few Friends Lego sets!
Amy
My dream client for next year would be a local/Irish restaurant/café/food brand that cares about the community and is open to fun, creative ideas that encompass CSR and consumer engagement.
If that’s you, hit us up.

I am that person who unashamedly has the urge to start a new hobby every week and then forget about it by the next. So, the brand that soothes this addiction and saves me from buying more craft materials I will never use, is the one and only, Duolingo.
Irish one week, Spanish the next. Now that I think about it, my family must be very concerned that I’ve been shouting ‘manzanas’ ('apple' in Spanish) at my phone screen for the 100th time…
This brand is definitely one I would love to work with. Duolingo is fun and consistent with its branding, which I think is a reflection of Clearbox and how we like to present ourselves.
Ella
You’ll be hard pressed to catch me wearing a shoe that isn’t my trusty docs, I’m addicted to every shoe that have. Dr. Martens would be a DREAM brand that I would love to work with, their shoes are not only so versatile and can be rocked in every season, but they’re just so bloody cool.
Dr. Martens, hit me up!
Zoe
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – we need to work with AirUp, flavoured water bottles with taste through scent. I have been their biggest advocate since buying my own AirUp bottle. The company are very sustainable and do a lot to reduce pollution such as using recyclable materials, cutting down on transportation distances and have partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects to plant a tree after every purchase.
Without a doubt AirUp would be a great fit for the Clearbox team as we are involved in many CSR programmes and, to be quite frank, they just look like such a fun and refreshing (see what I did there 😉) company to work with!
Lauren
Without a doubt, a brand that I would love to work with in 2024 is TALA!
Firstly, need I even explain how great the products are? I mean, there is literally a coat that has about 100 different ways to wear it.
Being an OG Grace Beverley fan, having watched her vlogs through her time at Oxford University and working her way up to becoming the girl boss that she is today, I am invested in this brand and love seeing it progress and succeed.
I think that TALA is a super cool brand with great ethics and I think Clearbox would blend well with what they stand for. A PR campaign focusing on the versatility of their products or even launching a new product would be the dream!
Sofia
One brand I would love to see on our books in 2024 is the Northern Ireland-based beauty brand, Pearl beauty. Their gorgeous cream blush sticks are ideal for an on the go touch up and don’t get me started on their powder *chefs kiss*. I would love to work with a Northern Irish beauty brand that I know has produced quality products and has worked hard to achieve this.
I think Clearbox would be a great fit for Pearl Beauty as we are passionate about providing the best service for our clients and I can tell this is a value Pearl Beauty hold for their customers too. It would be a great opportunity for us to branch into a new sector and as a team of make-up users (John especially) we would know exactly what a customer wants to see.
Gemma
I would love to work with Northern Ireland Football League (NIFL) in 2024. Having grown up around football and being an avid fan to this day, it would be amazing to work alongside them to do some fun, engaging campaigns and to add some more depth to a sport that many hold so dearly.
I think Clearbox would be a great fit for NIFL as we’re very forward thinking, creative and full of fresh ideas, so we could make some really cool campaigns come to life! I also think it would be great to run some CSR campaigns to help local communities in and around the teams across Northern Ireland.
Ciara
Due to their marketing techniques, vast brand and unique history, I think Clearbox would be the perfect fit to work with Guinness. With their insightful advertisements constantly catching my eye, I always thinks of Guinness when I think of a brand I want to work with. The brand is authentically Irish and a huge part of our heritage, who wouldn’t want to represent them?
And if there’s a chance of having some free beverages thrown in, it would be rude to say no…
Thanks everyone!
As you can tell from the above, we’re a team with a wide range of interests and ideas.
We put our all into every client we have, and we’re pretty good at what we do – if we do say so ourselves.
So, if you or your brand is in need of any of our services, please do not hesitate to get in touch at hello@clearboxcommunications.com
