SAS makes an impression on the North East!

Working for our clients Mike Lynch Advertising, we completed a highly successful 3D pavement advertising picture for English Heritage to highlight their new show opening in the North East of England.  The picture was used to draw the members of the public in at live events throughout the town and city centre, where members of their team could then provide more information about the show.  The client was overjoyed with the results from the campaign and has asked us to complete another campaign for them in the not to distant future.

 

Eye-catching Autotrader Street Campaign

To announce the launch of their new iPhone APP, Autotrader asked us to complete an innovative and exciting street advertising campaign on their behalf.  Using a combination of 3D pavement art, clean advertising and Bluetooth transmitters, we created an eye-catching and highly effective campaign!

 

World Cup Fever! West India Quay 3D Pavement Art Event

West India Quay asked Street Advertising Services to create a World Cup themed 3D picture to attract residents and consumers to the local bars and restaurants.  The results were nothing short of spectacular and the client was over the moon with the level of excitement the picture had created.  Local press and media were also drawn to the event and the story was featured in several newspapers.

Opal-Telecom success at trade Fair encouraged by SAS campaign!

Fantastic Magnum 3D Pavement Advertising!!

Unilever asked us to create a huge impactful gold safe in 3D to promote the launch of the new Magnum Gold Ice-cream, working in combination with promotional staff and other experimental activity.   We delivered the experiential event outside a Tesco's store in Romford, Essex.   Consumers were both delighted and excited by the spectacular 3D image and interacted with it whilst taking pictures on their mobile phones to upload later to Facebook.   The promotional staff then directed consumers to the sampling event inside the store where they could win Magnum prizes.   The results and feedback from the event were fantastic!!   The client has booked a further campaign for July.   See our previous campaigns for images.

 

Opal Telecom Repeat their use of Street Advertising to attract new clients

You may remember that Opal Telecom used Street Advertising at the end of last year to highlight their new Broadband offering to consumers. The campaign was a great success and resulted in a strong increase in new customers.

This year Opal Telecom were the main sponsors of the Convergence Summit held at Manchester's G-Mex Exhibition Hall. Opal asked us to create a campaign that would attract visitors to their stand and raise awareness of their sponsorship before entering the exhibition hall and being distracted by competitors offerings.

We created over 25 adverts and strategically placed them on all the entrances and on pavements leading to the hall. Opal were delighted with the campaign and even more pleased with the level of interest they received at their stand throughout the summit's duration.

Evening All.....

Today we completed a Clean Advertising Campaign for Cheshire Police. We use water delivered at 130 degrees farenheit to selectively remove dirt from dirty pavements, leaving behind a sharp contrast that can be seen from yards away! Cheshire Police used us to create adverts around a specific area in Cheshire that had been blighted by a series of burglaries. The adverts grabbed people's attention and delivered a reminder to ensure their homes were locked up and secure. This was the second Street Advertising Campaign by Cheshire Police. Over 60% of our clients come back and use Clean Advertising again as it is so effective.

3d  pavement Advertising

 

I kan't, I kan, Ikea!

September was truly mental! On top of securing and commencing several high profile campaigns, we also delivered the world's biggest 3D Pavement Advertising Campaign! To celebrate the launch of the new 2010 Ikea catalogue, Ikea asked us to produce (twenty, yes twenty!) 3D pavement drawings of Ikea room scenes. The brief was to create identical room settings taken straight from the new catalogue that the public could interact with in a fun way. We had only twenty days to deliver and with bleeding knees and swollen wrists, we managed to meet the deadline. On the 9th of September we arranged for all twenty pictures to be laid in twenty city centre locations, throughout the UK and with over one hundred promotions staff we gave away 40,000 catalogues whilst creating some real fun and excitement with the pictures. Photo's of the event ended up in Newspapers and on websites as well as hundreds of people taking pictures on their mobiles that they then uploaded to Facebook and Youtube.

When Clean Advertising, don't slip in the dirt.....

It has been brought to our attention that there are a couple of newcomers to the Clean Advertising marketplace. We have worked with several client's in the last two months who have been quoted exceptionally low prices for clean advertising, only to be let down at the last minute with the company failing to deliver what they had quoted on.

Street Advertising Services have been delivering Clean Advertising Campaign's since 2006. Not only were we the first professional company to deliver the media, we have since gone on to deliver over 150+ campaigns throughout the U.K and Europe.

When choosing who you are going to trust to deliver an advertising campaign for your brand or your client's brand, consider the following:

  • Is the supplier reputable? How long have they been trading, As a one man band, are they going to go bust..... taking your money with them?
  • Are you and your client insured? If someone slips on water or a hose whilst your supplier carries out your advertising, if that supplier does not have public liability insurance, who else is liable......?
  • How many machines and vehicles do they own, what happens if their one machine or old van breaks down, does your campaign get delivered on the day it was promised?
  • What happens if they cause damage to surfaces whilst carrying out a campaign?
  • Which clients have they worked with? Wouldn't you rather work with a supplier who has delivered campaigns for Nike, Puma, Carphone Warehouse, Tower Hamlets Council, Northumberland Police etc etc
  • Finally, Every single campaign on Street Advertising Services website was delivered by Street Advertising Services.

Guinness, Fox Racing and Starbucks are featured on other websites, claiming that those companies did a Clean Advertising Campaign. None of these companies have ever done a Street Advertising Campaign.

 

What's new?

It's been two months since we last updated our blog. During the last two months we have been very busy helping our client's gain attention and increase sales of their brands and products. To give you a flavour of our activity, we have delivered lot's of campaign's including the following:

  • A National Clean Advertising Campaign for The Sun Newspaper
  • A Hard hitting Clean Advertising Campaign for Tower Hamlets Council, that was featured in the local press, the client was so pleased with the result's they are repeating the campaign
  • We delivered a spectacular 3D Pavement Advert at London Victoria station for Shelterbox
  • We worked with Yahoo to deliver and place 700 stickers throughout London
  • We have carried out almost a dozen Bluetooth Campaign's for our client's sending out adverts throughout the U.K
  • Agreed some really exciting integrated campaigns for the next few months that will combine 3D advertising, Clean Advertising, Promotional staff and Bluetooth Advertising for both public and private sector clients.
  • Check out our 'Previous missions' page for pictures and a few more details on some of the work we have done recently

Alistair Darling's Eybrows raises costs for small business......

For the 2009 Budget, we were retained by The Conservative Party to draw a 3D chalk pavement advert, highlighting the black hole of debt the U.K was now in. With short lead times our artists created a brilliant drawing outside the Treasury in Whitehall. The results wer spectacular and so was the press coverage! We were featured on BBC News, Sky News as well as The Daily Telegraph, London Lite, The London Paper, The Daily Star, The Daily Mail, The Independent and City A.M. Thousands of pounds of PR for very little outlay! Just imagine what Street Advertising Services can do for your Business and Brand.....

Norwich and Peterborough (and Suffolk, Norfolk, Ipswich etc etc etc)

This week we completed a campaign for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. N&P asked us to create an advert outside every one of their 54 branches across the country. They used the campaign to create awareness for their Annual General Meeting. The more people who attended the event, the more money N&P would give to a childrens charity. A very worthwhile use of Street Advertising....

$%&*ING Brilliant!

Last night the team returned from the latest street advertising campaign in Belgium. The campaign was carried out on behalf of ING bank (www.ing.com) We visited 120 of their branches throughout Belgium to place adverts advising consumers to think of ING for their mortgages. The results were excellent, not only from raising levels of product awareness but for PR it was truly astounding. As a direct result of the public interest in this new way of advertising, ING were featured on National Belgium TV, were interviewed on National Belgium radio and had 17 press articles written about their SAS campaign. The client was delighted, read her comments in our client testimonials.....
