Bath’s gone green!

Bath’s gone green!

We’ve been working with our lovely clients at First, helping them to promote their Park & Ride service in Bath, which has just been re-vamped with the launch of some exciting new hybrid buses.  If you’d like a reminder of the background to this project, you can read about that here. Not only can you [...]

Bath Park and Ride – next stop, new buses and more passengers

Bath Park and Ride – next stop, new buses and more passengers

Hands up if you’ve ever been on a Park and Ride. Good aren’t they? So why on earth don’t more people use them? They’re cheaper than town/city center parking, as regular as… well… someone that eats a lot of bran, and they save you all the hassle of queuing to get near a car park [...]

CIPR Silver Award Winner – The 2011 EuroGeographics Annual Review

CIPR Silver Award Winner – The 2011 EuroGeographics Annual Review

Time fly’s when you’re having fun. So much so that when our friends at EuroGeographics dropped us a line to get the 2011 Annual Review briefing organised, we had a moment of collective iCal checking to remind ourselves exactly what month we were in. And we’re still not sure where the last 12 months has [...]

The 2012 Breast Cancer Care Fashion Show looks ‘bloomin’ good

The 2012 Breast Cancer Care Fashion Show looks ‘bloomin’ good

Last year we donated our time and talents to Breast Cancer Care to help them with the creative work for their Fashion Show fundraiser. After the success of the event we’ve had our arms bent… errr… I mean… ‘we were asked’, to be part of the team again for 2012 (not that we needed much [...]

Corporate plan message + critical deadline = success for satisfied client!

Corporate plan message + critical deadline = success for satisfied client!

When Sentinel Housing Association wanted to get their corporate messages over to staff, they asked us to come up with an idea that would be more engaging than a simple booklet or poster. They wanted something that staff would keep nearby, and have easy access to. Their deadline was quite tight as they wanted to [...]

New stuff: EuroGeographics Annual Report 2010/11

New stuff: EuroGeographics Annual Report 2010/11

With some clients, guidelines rule the roost and its always our challenge to push them as far as we can. After all, that’s our job. But there are also clients like EuroGeographics that hand over the creative reigns and say “you’re the professionals, do what you think is right”. Last year we worked with EuroGeographics [...]

New stuff: Breast Cancer Care fashion show invitation

New stuff: Breast Cancer Care fashion show invitation

Back in March we announced our involvement with Breast Cancer Care and our commitment to helping them out with their annual fundraiser… ‘The (fashion) Show’. As always, we looked to raise the bar in terms of the quality of creative to ensure 2011 stood out as the best show ever, from the moment you get [...]

Paper giant Sappi said it will raise the price of its coated fine papers by “at least 10%” in March.

M-real will also raise coated and uncoated white-top kraftliner prices by £50 [...]

ATD – A way of life, not a temporary condition

ATD = Attention to detail. Myself and the breadknife took our kids to Eurodisney earlier this year and unsurprisingly when you have a 2 year old and a 5 year old, we had a fantastic time (it was for them… honest!!!). As our 4 days in the parks ticked by, a running joke started between [...]

Michael Owen – the brand and the brochure

Michael Owen – the brand and the brochure

On Friday we saw Sir Alex Ferguson sign Michael Owen on a 3 year contract with a salary based on appearances and results on the pitch. In the media it’s dividing opinion considerably. It’s either a crazy step backward for Man Utd after selling Ronaldo for 80 million, or a stroke of genius that could [...]

  • Beringer Tame keep the coffee hot, flowing and easy on the eye!

    Last year, our friends at Beringer Tame, the digital and ecommerce recruitment specialists, took the plunge and sponsored the coffee station at the 2011 Internet Retailing Conference. Seeing the lure of the fresh black stuff (unless it’s a Latte obviously) as inevitable to most, the opportunity to have some brand engagement and exposure on-hand seemed [...]
