What GLOCK does

GLOCK is an insight-driven creative agency headquartered in London (26 Gransden Avenue, Hackney) that designs and activates brands for enterprise clients, with a heavy concentration in the global premium beverage and spirits sector. Founded in 2010 and operating with 11–50 employees, the firm delivers brand strategy, packaging design, experiential activations, retail experiences, digital content production, and multi-touchpoint campaign execution, framed around a "global perspective, local-market know-how" positioning. Its named client roster includes Grey Goose, Bombay Sapphire, Martini, Eristoff, Dewar's (plus Aberfeldy, Aultmore, Craigellachie, Royal Brackla), William Lawson's, Noilly Prat, Oxley Gin, Archers, 42BELOW, Fever-Tree, Royal Brackla, Revlon, and Burt's Bees—indicative of category-leadership mandates with multinational brand owners such as Bacardi and Diageo's whisky portfolio.

The agency's service model spans the full creative lifecycle: strategic positioning and messaging platform development, ATL and BTL creative ideation, global-to-local campaign rollouts, photography and CGI production, immersive trade-show and pop-up experiences, sampling platforms, and packaging design. Notable documented outcomes include a 64% conversion rate and 6.7K bottles sold over three months for Bombay Sapphire's 'Bombay Bubbles' sampling, and a 26% brand growth contribution for Dewar's via the 'Scotch Egg Club' experiential platform activated across 40 cities. GLOCK also operates in adjacent non-alcohol verticals—most notably Revlon and Burt's Bees (European expansion)—demonstrating portability of its brand-building playbook into beauty and personal care.

Commercially, GLOCK operates as a private, founder/independently-held B2B professional services firm with no disclosed funding, parent company, or institutional investment. New business is sourced via direct enterprise outreach ([email protected]) and referrals; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is consistent with project-based or retainer professional services arrangements. The firm maintains an active careers page and portfolio-led website, and claims a global footprint including Asia-Pacific activation capability, though its only disclosed office is in London.
