    When it came to refreshing a key character hero shot for our My First JCB wall mural, we knew exactly where to turn.

    Big Red’s bright and bold CGI illustration was spot on, perfect for inspiring young imaginations and delivering a valuable new asset for our brand extension programme.

    All handled and managed smoothly by Adam.

    We really dig The Big Red Illustration Agency.
