How to use Oculus Rift in your marketing campaign

When you think of “virtual reality”, what springs to mind? Futuristic, sci-fi films like the Matrix trilogy? Gaming nerds locked away in their bedrooms? Or marketing and advertising? Crazy headsets, role-play and all things strange may be the first things you think of, but virtual reality is making its mark on the world of marketing and transforming the way some of the world’s biggest brands are engaging with their customers.

It’s a jungle out there…

Magnum Ice Cream recently launched two new flavours under the brand Magnum Cocoa. To help publicise the launch and to increase sales throughput they asked us to create a huge piece of 3d Street Art to create some interest and entertainment for consumers.

Whew! It might be pouring but Outdoors Advertising is Hot!

Firstly a quick apology. Hands up, we are rubbish at keeping this blog upto date! We have had such a crazy couple of months producing some really exciting and innovative outdoors Advertising that we just haven't managed to keep updating. So let me give you a quick run down of our last few weeks and then we can update the campaigns on our website as well. So, what have we been doing:
We completed a national Reverse Graffiti or Clean Advertising Campaign for one of the biggest Media Brands in the World. Creating 25-30 Clean Adverts across the streets of 10 UK Cities including Birmingham, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Northampton, Bristol.

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.

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.
