We know there are many brilliant, important ideas that don’t get the chance to be brought to life. That’s why we want to make it happen.
We’re offering our creative services, up to the value of £10,000, to individuals, businesses and charities seeking to make a positive impact.
Your idea might need a brand, video content, a website, a social media campaign or an app. This is an opportunity to tell us all about it!
We want to work with you to bring your idea to life – so let’s make it happen.
Please fill out your application using the following form.
For each application, we’ll be considering:
What positive impact will your idea generate?
Does your application capture your excitement and passion for this idea?
Is your idea clear? Your application should be a succinct summary of the idea that is easy to understand.
Does your idea lend itself to what we do best? Is there an opportunity for us to bring our creativity to this?
We are keen to hear your idea and how it could create an impact. You don’t need to have creative solutions for your idea – we can work on that together.
And we may follow up with a phone call to chat through your application.
Our Make It Happen team will create a shortlist of the best applications, which will be presented to the Daysix team to vote for their favourite. In the event of a tied vote, the Make It Happen team will select the winner.
The winner will be notified soon after this and we can start making plans for…
You will be invited to our studio for a creative session with the Daysix team. We’ll get to know you and your idea and have fun exploring creative solutions for bringing your idea to life.
Our creative team will then develop initial ideas and creative concepts, which we would evolve together. Once we’ve decided the best creative route, we’re into the really exciting bit!
Collaborating closely with you, we’ll bring the idea to life, test it, tweak it, then launch it into the world…
We did Make It Happen a little differently this year. Instead of running a competition, we subsidised an important new defibrillator mapping tool, developed in partnership with the British Heart Foundation and the Scottish Ambulance Service and funding provided by The Scottish Government and St John’s Scotland.
Getting a defibrillator to a cardiac arrest event makes a huge difference to the survival rate. Every minute that passes massively affects the survival rate.
This tool combines cardiac arrest data and public defibrillator locations in Scotland to determine the most effective locations to place additional public defibrillators.
Brilliant partners, technology+ cool maps + UI, + saving lives = everything we love to do!
Junction 42 was founded in 2012 by a team with over 45 years of collective experience working with offenders in prisons and communities. They focus on providing individuals with the confidence and experience to develop work-ready skill sets and entrepreneurial mindsets.
We worked with them to develop a brand and course print materials for “Grounded”, their barista training programme for individuals who need new skills to support their lives. We also produced a video series for this course that explains how to brew the best cup of coffee!
HALO Gardens were conceived in lockdown. They are a response to our communal experience of the COVID 19 pandemic. Social distancing is one of our greatest tools against the spread of the virus, but is also frightening and isolating. HALO Gardens are intimate and beautiful outdoor sanctuaries where families and friends can meet safely.
With a great idea, and amazing expertise to deliver, the Halo Gardens team needed help with an identity and a web presence to get their idea off the ground. We happily obliged.
We loved working with these amazing people. We helped them out with a refreshed logo, animation and film to help shine a light on the amazing work they do, raise awareness of the charity, increase donations and ultimately get school uniforms to kids who need them. They were a total pleasure to work with and here is what they had to say about Make It Happen.
“With your help, our “sponsor a child” appeal in 2020 was a roaring success and local people donated funds to supply a full set of uniform to hundreds of children. These children had the chance to go back to school with confidence, fitting in with their peers and ready to do their best.”
