Girls Try Rugby

Encouraging girls to play a predominantly male sport was never going to be easy. The brief: To create a non offensive Try Rugby poster for local schools that will recruit girls into the sport.

Reverting back to the basics of typography and symbolism this soon to be graffitied poster was the result.

A brilliant nostalgic spectacle.

Sure to be an instant success, the re-make of the the much loved children’s series from 1975 turns Mr Happy of Happy Land into Mr. Miserable having failed to get his freebies from Specsavers.

See Mr. Happy take his frustrations out on Mr. Tickle and Mr. Bump here or visit the Mr. Men branded Specsavers Website.

Things could get a bit hairy; Razor sharp social media campaigning.

Gillette has just launched a fun and engaging Twitter campaign based on unravelling the benefits of a beard. The campaign throws identical twins Dean and George Georgiades into a hairy popularity contest. The twins will only be individualized by a clean shave versus a beard and will set about to get the most Twitter followers. Sibling rivalry gone digital! (more…)

Dawn of the Digital Age – Get hip to Social Media or go extinct.

Almost 50% of consumers follow brands on Facebook; is yours one of them?

Current trends show social media marketing is gaining precedence with some brand’s Facebook sites seeing more traction than their websites. Coca Cola boasts over 10 million Facebook fans while its website’s unique visitor stats have fallen more than 40% to 242,000.  

New research out of the digital consultancy, Beyond, conducted in the US and UK, shows that 46% of consumers follow at least one brand on a social network with almost a quarter (23%) stating they would rather receive information from brand’s via Facebook, than from a brand’s own website (21%)

So why are people following brands anyway? (more…)

Gareth Rowson on AFF course in Spain

I might be being hard on myself, but judging by the picture above it’s unlikely. Still, this is what they call an ‘unstable exit’ and is all part of the AFF training – I just took a little longer than ideal to regain stability. You can watch all the action here.

Thankfully I passed, and fortunately we don’t get grades at freefall university, so a pass is a pass! It’s another tick off the annual ‘year older, what have you done?’ personal log. It’s been a long time coming so I finally took a week off and headed to Madrid for a few days jumping. The plan was to become fully qualified, but with only 4 days and the last shut down with high winds, I’m still shy 4 or 5 jumps and a packing course but 14 jumps with 7 of them solo remains satisfying for now.

Not to worry, one of the pros is keen to have some skydiving tee designs done in exchange for free jumps and training. Then I’ll be free to continue my globe trotting adventures complete with aerial views at terminal velocity. Big thanks to all the expert instructors and packing crew that saved my life dozens of times at the drop zone.

Once you hop and pop, you can’t stop!

The digital advertising police are coming!

September 10th, 2010   |   Posted by

We all knew it would come eventually and perhaps not a bad thing.  The Advertising Standards Authority have announced they are to police brands’ own websites and their other non paid-for online messages on spaces such as Twitter and Facebook, from 1 March next year.  So giving marketers 6 months to tighten up on claims being made.

Crowne Plaza Marketing Brochure

This unique pop-up brochure for 51 Buckingham Gate was Steph Brun’s latest work, and left for me to oversee it’s binding into life… and consequently take all the glory.

Steph’s challenge was to create a strong marketing piece, that would leave enough of an impression to capture it’s audience without the need to give it to anyone. Used for an international business-to-business speed dating event, the rules were simple, no leave behinds and just a few minutes with each client…
