In the words of Mr Freddie Mercury “I want to ride my bicycle! I want to ride my bike!”

The vast majority of us learn how to ride a bicycle from a young age and for many it is their first 'big' achievement as a child. I have a very clear memory of my own father teaching me how to ride a bike on the country lanes, shouting "PMA" (positive mental attitude) at me before I went head first into a bramble bush! Since then I have thankfully improved in skill and no longer find myself entangled in the British countryside, instead i'm safely cycling to work on a daily and heading up exciting cycling awareness campaigns down south!

3D Pavement Art – The New King of Experiential Marketing

The world of advertising has come a long way since the Egyptians used papyrus paper to create murals and posters. Thanks to technological advances, we’re now subjected to advertising at just about every turning. When we hop on the bus, when we scroll through our Facebook feeds, and even when we stream our music online. But because of this, customers are becoming increasingly de-sensitised by conventional advertising. Advertising can only be effective if consumers are attracted to it and engaged with it..

Working with the Southern Water team, one of our artist's created a great picture down at Portsmouth Wharf Mall.

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.
In the same week, we also completed a Reverse Graffiti or Clean Advertising Campaign on behalf of the NHS across a further 10 cities spreading the message to give blood for National Give Blood Day.

Finally on top of all this activity, we still managed to deliver a really effective Bluetooth Advertising Campaign on behalf of a Leeds Shopping Mall that resulted in hundreds of flyers being delivered electronically to customers in the Mall over a week long period.
