Malin Waters new brand identity

At the end of 2010, we were awarded the tender to develop a brand for the current ‘Sail West’ project – a marine tourism initiative led by Donegal County Council in conjunction with several stakeholder groups from NI, ROI and Scotland.

We were tasked with developing both a naming convention and a visual identity for the project, one which firmly established its whereabouts geographically.  It was required to position the sea area as the finest and most interesting sailing waters of Europe, with outstanding natural landscape, eco interest and blue flag beaches.  It also needed to promote the resorts along the coastal areas, sport and special interest activities that are specific to the marine and coastal environment – sailing, cruising, diving, surfing, sea angling etc.

The result was Malin Waters….which is actually the sea area defined by the shipping forecast which spans the shared sea and coastal areas of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Western Scotland.

Welcome to A Better Place

Monday saw the launch of BT Northern Ireland’s latest campaign – a better place.

A better place follows on from last year’s Everywhere campaign.

Everywhere was testimonial-based – celebrating BT’s proactive efforts to find out what their customers in Northern Ireland wanted and needed. A better place is a natural progression, building upon this knowledge. The campaign shows what it means for BT to be here and how the development of their products and services are helping to make Northern Ireland a better place.

BT Infinity, BT’s superfast fibre optic broadband, is the hero of the campaign. The end frame of the TV advert also illustrates BT’s commitment to make Derry~Londonderry – UK City of Culture 2013 – the first, fully fibre enabled city in the UK.

Local band, The Jane Bradfords provided the soundtrack and Northern Ireland born actress, Amanda Burton, lends a sense of home-grown gravitas to the VO.

The TV commercials are supported by Outdoor, Press, Online and PR activity.

Army - Careers Exhibition

Ever wondered what life is really like in the army?

The Army Careers Exhibition marks the biggest event in the Army’s calendar of events and this year the Royal Navy and Royal Air force will also be in attendance. We were tasked to produce an eye catching campaign that appealed to their target audience of 16-25 year olds. The visuals use strong imagery of both male and female soldiers and the copy is to the point with the focus of driving people to the event.

The campaign will run across a variety of outdoor and washroom with support from radio advertising.
