What have Barbie and a charcoal barbeque got in common? No dodgy answer I’m afraid, just that you can find them both at Aladdin’s Cave – Guernsey’s best retail store.

Every year hundreds of people are killed and injured due to driving whilst under the influence of alcohol. Some get away with cuts and bruises and a battered car, others are not so fortunate. Offshore International Advertising took the idea of an annual publicity campaign, to highlight the problem and get drivers to change their ways, to the Guernsey Police, and since Christmas 2004 we have helped cut the number of convictions and helped to make the island a safer place to be with strong and thought provoking campaigns designed for maximum impact with minimum budget…

That’s exactly what we did for Collins Stewart Wealth Management to help them significantly build their brand profile in Guernsey. During the campaign planning stages we considered all of the various mediums and channels. But something was missing. Something different.

It’s a small island, so that means covering a lot of distance and passing a lot of places and people, especially at the airport…

Collins Stewart Wealth Management wanted to significantly build its brand profile in Jersey. During the planning stages we reviewed and considered all standard communications channels available. Many were used in the integrated campaign, but we still wanted something really different to gain significant brand exposure.
So, we went to Jersey Airport and asked whether we could secure a sponsorship deal to wrap the whole of the exterior of the airport. It wasn’t on offer, but after lengthy negotiations we brokered the deal and coordinated the entire installation…
