The Rise of the planet of the apes

Stop laughing, cause one day they will be in charge! To increase awareness for the new movie, The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes we drove the length of the UK, from Glasgow to Brighton creating stunning pieces of graffiti. Working with some of the best graffiti artists in the world, we set them the task of creating an original piece based on the them of 'apes getting smarter'. The results were spectacular and the client was 'ecstatic' with the campaign. In addition to the thousands of people who will pass by the six pieces, we also filmed and timelapsed the art for people to view and talk about on the web.

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. The 3d pavement art looked incredible and our team toured the country with it to show the work to consumers in Tesco's superstores whilst Brand Ambassadors ran a promotion alongside. The campaign was a great success with sales uplift in all the stores and two of them ran out of the ice cream by lunchtime! In addition to the sales increase, hundreds of consumers had their picture taken on the 3d art and uploaded their photos from their mobiles to Facebook and Twitter, creating further publicity for the brand.

Did you know Sewers are allergic to Fat, Oils and Grease?

Our client, Southern Water did a great campaign highlighting the dangers of pouring Fat, Oil and Grease down your sink. Sewers get clogged and blocked up and it creates a hell of a mess and lots of damage and expense. To get this point across they asked us to create a piece of 3d street art depicting the sewer in a blocked up state. Working with the Southern Water team, one of our artist's created a great picture down at Portsmouth Wharf Mall. Lots of VIP's attended the event and the story was featured on BBC Solent and made it into Portsmouth News and into The Metro national newspaper.

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.
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.
At the same time as running round the UK creating some wicked Outdoor Advertising campaigns we also managed to deliver two brilliant 3d pavement pictures for clients Unilever and The BodyShop
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.

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.

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.

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.
