The client

The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) is the UK’s only museum dedicated to telling the full story of the Royal Navy, past and present. With locations across the country including Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, NMRN Hartlepool and beyond the organisation’s mission is to preserve naval heritage and make it accessible, engaging and relevant for all ages. Our work with Portsmouth Historic Dockyard led to further collaborations across the wider NMRN family, including the team behind Victory Live and The Mary Rose.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Take on Campaign poster series

“We really enjoy working with the team at TGDH they are hardworking, enthusiastic and care very much about the work they produce for us. They work seamlessly with us, and we consider them to be very much an extension of our team. I’ve never worked with agency that are so responsive, our organisation and offer is complex and they are able to navigate that and give it their all.
