isobelly Laughs

Good jokes are based on finding good human insights – little truths that unite us. Good advertising is exactly the same.

So every few months we showcase our dedication to entertainment, with a comedy night hosted in our agency. Hosted by BBC legend Mike Shepherd, we’ve had some big comedy names, from Sara Pascoe to Esther Manito, from Desiree Burch to Ken Chang. It’s free popcorn and drinks all night, no ticket necessary – and we always manage to raise a wad of cash for a chosen charity.

The night itself came out of an initiative where any employee at isobel can suggest a big idea for the agency. Comedy, entertainment, good insights and human truths – it just made sense.

“There’s something incredibly bonding when someone stands up and shares a personal moment they've experienced. You laugh and nod, then you realise the whole room is laughing – we’ve all experienced that same thing. It’s insightful, it’s a truth, and it’s exactly what lies at the heart of what we try to do at our agency.” – Rob Fletcher ECD & Founder
