How Chubbsafes celebrated
“190 Years Strong” across the world

One anniversary, one brand, and markets that don’t read it the same way. We sat down with regional managers around the world first. Then we built one campaign that every region could make its own: anniversary branding, a full asset system, a global launch and a regional rollout.

Chubbsafes has protected what matters since 1835. Certified safes and vaults now reach customers through distributors and regional teams around the world. In 2025 the brand turned 190. The goal was one celebration that worked in every region.

The challenge

One campaign. Global reach.

A 190th anniversary only happens once. So this anniversary needed to reach markets around the world, each with its own channels, its own buyers and its own idea of what “heritage” should sound like.

That meant creating one story that worked everywhere. It had to be ready for every sales manager and distributor to use from day one.

It also had to speak to three audiences. Customers needed a reason to trust the name. Distributors needed a brand they were proud to sell. Employees needed to feel part of it.

The approach

Listen to the regions first,
then build once

Before we designed anything, we talked to the people who would have to use it. Regional managers around the world told us what their markets respond to, which channels actually carry weight, and where a global campaign usually breaks down for them.

Creative concept development

We took the anniversary to the regions as distinct creative routes before committing to one.

01Digital museum: “190 Years of Security”A contemporary museum as the umbrella for every communication, exhibiting the Chubbsafes legacy alongside its modern innovation.
02We carry on: “190 Years Strong”The story told as a dynamic collage of what 190 years of protection looks like, with a celebratory sense of British strength.
03Reflection: “190 Years In. Just the Beginning.”An abstract mirror door, showing a brand looking back at its legacy and forward to what comes next.
The concept routes: “190 Years of Security”, “190 Years Strong” and “190 Years In. Just the Beginning.”
The concept routes pitched before the regions chose one

The regions chose 190 Years Strong.

That shaped the whole build. We wrote one core story, 190 years strong, carried by heritage, trust and innovation. Each message was written for customers, distributors and employees. Then we designed the anniversary branding as a global system rather than a set of finished ads: an anniversary logo, key visuals, design guidelines, an image bank and templates that regions could adapt without breaking the brand.

The last piece made it work at scale. Every region got a toolkit with the global assets, plus usage and localization instructions. Distributors got their own version. The campaign launched globally in 2025, and the regions took it from there with their own amplification.

Strategy & identity

The 190 Years Strong key visual
The key visual: 190 years of Chubbsafes history in one line-up

Safes, buildings and machines from across Chubbsafes’ history sit around the number 190. Each object stands for a chapter of the brand, so the visual tells the story before anyone reads a word, in any language.

The anniversary branding came with colour, logo lockups and layout rules that gave every region the same starting point. Local teams could translate, adapt and produce new material themselves while the campaign still looked like one brand.

Digital & web

Campaign webpage and hero banner

The campaign page became the home of the anniversary online. We wrote the copy and designed the hero banner so regional sites could carry the same story in their own language.

Each ad leads with one message: heritage, trust or innovation. Regions picked the message that fit their market best and dropped in local copy without touching the anniversary branding.

The craft

One look, ready for every region

We designed the campaign for the regional teams who would use it. The key visual sets the number 190 among real Chubbsafes safes and landmark buildings, in a muted heritage palette that works anywhere. Three versions cover heritage, trust and innovation, so each region can lead with what matters most locally. With clear templates and guidelines, teams could adapt copy, swap images and build their own ads independently.

The results

One story, told everywhere at once

The campaign launched globally and was picked up region by region, by sales teams, distributors and employees alike. Because the regions helped shape it, they used it.
