ABOUT THE STUDIO…
One of only a handful of solely female-founded creative studios in London, Here.We.Go. Studio was born to challenge existing creative agency models. Our core studio is based in Canary Wharf, London, with a moving outpost in Southern Italy.
Coming from both senior advertising and branding backgrounds, Founder and Executive Creative Director, Louise Sloper, has built a successful team of designers, writers, motion and CGI artists, developers, strategists and creative technologists, all with a common goal. Our work aims to design change in local communities as well as tackling global issues, existing to make a positive impact on equality, the environment, and society as a whole.
Craft-orientated, strategic, change-making storytelling.
In only a small number of years, we have won Gold for Charity Art Direction at Creative Circle, created a world in the Metaverse, held an immersive campaign to bring the ‘Sounds of Nature to the Urban Jungle’, rebranded a major worldwide creative organisation, brought to life female film directors’ stories, elevated an eco-friendly beauty product range, written body-confident Gen-Z inspired packaging copy, brought comfort and companionship to older people isolated during the pandemic, and launched a brand new global workplace-tech brand using algorithmic flare.
We look to technology that brings creative ideas to life (rather than for the sake of using it), creating lasting change in areas with purpose. But, we also LOVE pure graphic design and brand elevating campaigns, bridging advertising and brand design seemlessly with beautiful craft. In conjunction with this, we offer sonic branding, with a mission to highlight its importance in a full brand experience.
Our HWG ECO team aim to create expo stands and event way-finding that is as sustainable as possible… get in touch if you’d like to know more.
Our team are all immersed in the outdoors, charities and purpose-driven thinking in some form. Lou’s background with Great Ape conservation, as well as her love for the sea and current studies in sustainable materials, has set up many of our values. Our team actively embrace cycling, climbing, charity work, sustainable fashion and beauty, and social causes.
It matters to us. We do more than just say it.
We live it.

“Lou's strength lies in her unique ability to straddle two creative disciplines which at times seem at polar ends to each other — advertising and design. Very few creatives can do this, and I've never quite understood how she has achieved it. I think it's mainly because she is incredibly talented. And like most talented people she does a lot of listening. She mixes traditional craft-based ideas with ground-breaking digital experiences for a range of clients that benefit from her hands-on, personal direction."

"Louise has been championing design for many years, and leading large creative studios, inspiring not just the visual aspects of our craft, but also the platforms used to push the idea further. Her expertise has been sort out by agencies, brands and publications alike. We were recently on a panel together driving forward the idea ‘Creativity can Change the World’. She believes it truly can. But, above all of this, Lou excels in mentoring younger creatives, building successful client relationships, and championing our creative industry as a whole, always with a smile."
