Next!

Years and years ago, well 2007. Myself (neil) and Joe Coleman (now at TBWA/BDH in Manchester) did a little cinema ad for Chewits. It was aired during Finding Nemo at the cinema. We rather liked it. And spookily it was ahead of it's time. Anyway, we managed to hunt down a copy of it and here it is on YouTube for all the world to write really weird comments about...

Milking it

I've (Vicki) been enjoying some award success recently. We picked up a Roses Award and a Fresh Award for a mailer I did.

It was a one off piece to big up our experience of dealing with breakfast cereals - all those years working on Kellogg's.

Neeeeeiiiiggggghhhhhboooouuuurrrssssssss

I (Neil) have been scuttling away on a little project for a fencing company over the summer and the results are for all to see on a little known website called Creative Review. The pictures were done by the very lovely Mr. Chris Leah.

Life in Black and White

Hi....christ this year has flown by. This ^ is out there now - written, directed in super fast time, 3 mochas on the shoot and it was all over. I'm just doing a 30 second version so it can be used as delivered video ads online. Nice.

Oh well.

So we didn't win the Yorkshire Tourist Board work, it was a bit of a shame considering we did some pretty good stuff for it (even though i say so myself, cough). But at least this lot didn't get it. Phew.

I suppose I can only hope the winning route looks half as good as this.....

Enjoy!

New year, new erm, danger. No, rules - maybe...

Yes, 2009. is it going to be the year of doom like everyone says?
Christmas was weird in that a few more big High Street names went, I wandered around Woolworths and there was a strange feeling in the air (and smell) it was like people were itching for a bargain and were buying anything. Odd.
Still, in this doom and gloom i reckon we need to be strong and clever and just think about what's the right tone to speak to people in these 'difficult times'. The strong survive and even thrive at times like these.
Fingers crossed.

Crumpets roasting on an open fire.

It's been a busy patch - hence none of this - and now it's the run into Christmas, so it's sort of busy then it's quiet, then it's busy. It's good though because i've had a day or two to try and think with a clear head about something, and i've got some nice ideas out - so it's good. Yey headspace!

The picture is of a test shoot for Warbies, we've picked up a large brief from them and we're just going through the tweaking stage, as you do with most things. It should be around in the New Year.

Unfortunately we didn't get the Business Link work for Yorkshire, but that's quite good cos the campaign that did win isn't that great, so i wouldn't of held out much hope for any of the good ones getting through...
