Creative News - What’s In & What’s Out🗞️
We’re mixing up our weekly news updates by spilling the tea on what’s in and what’s out this week. Sometimes brands miss the mark and we’re going to share our favourite and least favourite campaigns of the week.
What’s In: Office Christmas parties go sober (Non- Alcoholic brand Inspiration)

The traditional alcohol-fueled office Christmas party is being swapped for more inclusive, experience-focused events, reports the Financial Times. Think wreath-making workshops, indoor crazy golf, or laser clay-pigeon shooting. These changes reflect younger workers’ preference for healthier lifestyles and help employers foster inclusivity while reducing the risk of misconduct.
Some companies are also introducing measures like chaperones or alcohol limits to safeguard their reputations. Meanwhile, the shift to remote work has employees leaving festivities earlier, prioritising their personal time. It’s a modern approach to holiday celebrations, blending fun with mindfulness and ensuring everyone feels comfortable joining in.
🎄 Not Drinking This Christmas? No Worries!
Say hello to BERO, the new premium non-alcoholic beer that’s here to make your holiday season just as festive. Launched by British actor Tom Holland, BERO was created to celebrate going alcohol-free without the stigma. With a sleek brand identity designed by New York-based studio CENTER, this is not just another non-alcoholic option—it’s a game-changer. So whether you’re skipping the booze or just curious to try something new, BERO is ready to raise your spirits this Christmas, with no alcohol required. Cheers to that!

We’re on the fence: Pantone’s Colour of the Year

The big reveal is here: Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse, a mellow brown with warm, comforting vibes. According to Laurie Pressman, VP of the Pantone Color Institute, the choice reflects a collective yearning for simplicity, indulgence, and shared joy.
While the rich, earthy tone is undeniably soothing, we can’t help but wonder—does Mocha Mousse push boundaries or play it safe? For over 25 years, Pantone’s Colour of the Year has sparked trends and debates across design, fashion, and interiors. This time, it feels less like a bold statement and more like a cosy retreat.
Sure, the colour might resonate with our desire for comfort, but does it really capture the energy and creativity of 2025? We’re not sold yet—but maybe this “mellow brown” will grow on us. What do you think?
The Freelancer + Founder Roadmap is officially OPEN and we’ve already had some incredible creatives signed up! 🤩
The 90-day programme will help you step into 2025 with confidence, clarity, and a freelancing career that truly works for you.
Are you ready to make 2025 the year you finally build the creative career you deserve?
