‘That piece of work is great and I couldn’t have come up with it”…

I’m lucky [or unlucky depending on how you look at it] to work with some very gifted designers, people that are constantly making me say to myself through gritted teeth, “Damn…that was good.”

This month Tom did these pieces for Catherine Best to promote her Love Letters range, and as you can see they turned out amazingly well. The ads are a simple idea, beautifully executed with great attention to detail, just like the jewellery they advertise. I recall Tom asking me at the outset of the job if I had any ideas. I obviously did and I told him what they were and which ones I thought he should work up and present to the client.

Lucky for Catherine, Tom ignored me completely and came up with the ads below on his own.

Which is…great…isn’t it?

Aladdin’s Cave celebrated its thirtieth anniversary with a tasty integrated campaign by Offshore International helping to maintain continued success for the popular retailer…

We even made them a birthday cake in the shape of their logo and gave a slice to all their staff. We’re nice like that.

Leading garden centre Earlswood asked Offshore International Advertising to create a collection of new adverts to promote its plants, plant care products, barbecues and outdoor furniture. To keep things looking fresh and bright but to also inject a bit of humour to make the ads eye-catching, we elected to take a slightly off-kilter approach. So where some would have put their plants in pots…we put ours in shirts and ties. See all the ads here…

Fortis is a major sponsor of Guernsey athletes and Dale Garland not only works for the company but is one of them. Dale was being inducted in to the Guernsey Sports Commission’s Sporting Heroes’ Hall of Fame, and as it was a key achievement for him, Fortis decided it would be good to run an advert to support him. Well done Dale.

Well, it’s Christmas time and what better way to celebrate this wondrous time of year then to put a hold on buying other people presents and go out and treat yourself to some new decorations?

Precisely…there’s no better way.

Those nice people at Earlswood have a great selection of top of the range Christmas decorations and all kinds of cool yuletide products, things that flash, sparkle…all that kind of thing. The products are top notch, the prices designed to add a broader smile to your face. All they needed was a few ads and a flyer to let people know how great this all was.

Which is where we came in…

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…

Over the years we’ve pulled out as many stops as possible to make the campaigns stand out in the public imagination and draw as much attention to the problem as possible; huge billboards (one with an actual car smashing through it), planes dragging the campaign message across the skies over the island, adverts, radio, posters and beer mats in the pubs, tee-shirts for bar staff, adverts on the urinals in pub toilets, direct mail pieces, organisation of PR, advertising on the buses, police cars and taxis…pretty much everything and anything that we could squeeze into the tight budgets. Take a look at the past 4 years hard work here…
