The big wins are easy to see, but often, it’s the small things that matter most.
To celebrate the small things, we’ve picked our top moments from 2025 – giving us twenty-one little wins that shaped our year.
Because the small things add up – and they’re often the ones that tend to leave a lasting mark.
- Summer party
Our 2025 summer party will live long in the memory. A luxurious boat cruise to the beautiful Lysefjord, complete with great company, food, beverages – and an obligatory dip in the fjord. Oh, and the weather was glorious. Stavanger at its very best! – Sven
- Our office views
For those of you who have been inside our office, I’m sure you’ll agree that scoring the desk by the window is a win! Being able to breathe in the fresh ocean air and seeing the life of our small city buzzing throughout the day is my creativity booster. Combining that with Sven’s music and dry humour, Valentina’s laughter and Laura’s positive energy is the perfect formula for great days in the office throughout 2025. – Cathrine
- TCO website
2025 was the year we delivered a brand new website for TCO. They now have a digital presence that matches their capabilities, supports commercial objectives, and strengthens their position in a competitive global market. – Sven
- Mission
Impossible campaign for Izomax
One of my standout professional moments at PN was leading the Mission Impossible campaign for Izomax. What made this especially meaningful was finding a client in the oil & gas space who had the courage to do something genuinely bold – a rarity in a traditionally conservative category. Collaborating with Moxie to bring the concept to life was incredibly rewarding, and the creative partnership pushed the work to a level I’m truly proud of. While budget constraints meant we couldn’t execute the full rollout as envisioned, the experience reinforced the value of brave clients and ambitious ideas, even within challenging industry contexts. – Valentina
- Seeing our work out there
This isn’t something that can be attributed to 2025 alone, but it is something I love year on year – seeing our work in “real life”. Whether it’s driving past the Ocean Installer office and seeing the logo on their building, or strolling through an exhibition and getting eyes on a stand we designed. There’s true satisfaction when we see our work delivering as required. – Joe
- International Propeller Club of Norway
Supporting IPC Norway as they established themselves in Norway has been a privilege and joy! The people behind the scenes are incredibly passionate, and we’ve truly enjoyed being their communication partner this year. A highlight was hosting them at our last Morning Focus event of 2025. – Cathrine
- Practising what we preach
From consistent LinkedIn posts, regular website blog articles, launching our monthly newsletter to securing press opportunities for ourselves! The team have taken the challenge of boosting our own communication and smashed it! There’s always more to be done… but that’s what next year is for!!
– Laura
- Breaking even
Given my role, my eyes are always on the numbers and reaching break-even each year is a quiet but meaningful milestone. It’s a testament to the hard work done by the wider team and gives us confidence in the operational decisions made along the way. – Stephane
- Developing the FOX Subsea website
Often part of our role is to help a company enhance and evolve their visual identity, but in this instance, FOX had a strong and distinctive brand… it just hadn’t been brought to life digitally. Taking inspiration from their exhibition stands, it was satisfying to align their digital presence with their physical one. A new website which fully reflected the strong identify they’d already created. – Joe
- Working with Pio
For a few months this year I’ve worked full-time as a consultant at Pio, focusing on creating content for their marketing team. While I’ve missed the office, it’s been really nice to dive deep into one product.
– Catarina
- Reelwell milestone
Our long-standing client, Reelwell, signed a landmark contract with Vår Energi at the start of the year – marking the start of a multi-year deployment of their game changing DualLink technology on the North Sea. It was great to help communicate this to the industry, through press releases, photos and videos.
– Sven
Laughter in the office
Maybe this is cheating, as it’s not one moment (!), but hearing laughter across our office is always something that makes me smile. Bringing together a team that works well together and gets on well is not always easy or achievable. But this year, this team has jelled both professionally and personally. A solid team that’s been a pleasure to work with. – Laura
- Keystone customer testimonials video series
The Keystone customer testimonials video series was a deeply collaborative project, built for the client and with the client. It stood out as a moment where trust, co-creation, and strategic storytelling came together seamlessly. Working closely with the client ensured authenticity at every stage (from concept to execution) resulting in content that felt credible, human, and commercially effective. This project highlighted the power of partnership-driven work and remains a benchmark for how I approach client collaboration. – Valentina
- The weekly check-in
One hour each week to take stock, share updates and plan what’s next. Nothing flashy, just a practical, productive and scheduled time in the week that is vital to keeping everyone aligned. Over the year, those small moments of structure make a big difference. – Stephane
- FourPhase media
Calling Shell’s office in Trinidad and Tobago is not something we do daily. But for our clients we are more than happy to defy time zones and country codes. Especially when it results in a sign-off for FourPhase’s press release that later turned into several pieces of media coverage in top tier international news outlets.– Cathrine
- Global Maritime – Custom Build for Offshore Wind Exhibition (London)
Collaborating with Joe and Full Circle on our first fully custom-built stand for Global Maritime at the GOW in London was another great moment. It marked a full end-to-end delivery (from strategic thinking through to physical execution) for a high-profile international event (Global offshore wind). Seeing the concept come to life on the exhibition floor, and witnessing the client’s response, was incredibly fulfilling and set a new standard for what we could deliver as a team. – Valentina
- Feedback
Whether it’s a comment from a client, someone attending one of our events, or a message from a contact in the industry, feedback always lands with me. Not because it’s flattering (which it can be too! 😆), but because it confirms that the work is seen and resonating with people. A small but important signal that we’re doing something right. – Laura
- Morning Focus
2025 was the year we jazzed up our popular Neon Nights event by adding a morning event for the early birds. So if you think coffee and presentations by industry frontrunners is the perfect start to the day, make sure you pencil in our next Morning Focus event on February 11th, 2026.
- Media intelligence
Working with PR means I live and breathe news, so I loved putting together a new media product for our clients this year. It’s called media intelligence, and it offers a tailored round-up of industry and company specific news once a week. This helps the executive and business development teams stay up to date with the latest movings and shakings, and come prepared with all the latest updates to client meetings. – Cathrine
- Julebord!
Nights out with the Project Neon team are always a highlight, but the Julebord (Christmas party) this year was spectacular. The views, the food, the company… stunning! As a remote member of team I’m always struck with how beautiful the city is at Christmas time. Strolling along the cobble streets, with the Christmas lights is always a highlight of the year for me and a great kick-off to Christmas. – Joe
- Ending the year without panic
All businesses have ups and downs; Project Neon is no different. But this year I feel we’re ending the year with the business in full control – not always the case in an agency-style business. While we don’t know what 2026 has in store, the current sense of steadiness is something to be acknowledged and valued. – Stephane
