Case Study: Ash To Art

In the offices of J. Walter Thompson London, the morning after the fire, Giles Hepworth and Bill Hartley discussed the tragedy. They each shared the compulsion that they had to help.

The School needed to raise £35 million for the rebuild and to do that they would need to stay in the public consciousness.
