Enjoyed seeing the entries to today's topical brief.

Really liked 'Maybe she's born with it' but we decided to wait to see if it was a boy or girl and with it all over the news it's definitely a boy!!

Thanks for all of your great work everyone but today's win goes to the prolific @dognbonesjones What a fantastically simple idea. Immense.

Lovely topic for our fun Friday brief today and some great ideas too. Very difficult to choose between but the following 2 seem to have edged it. Well done to everyone. See you back here next week.

Our first winner is 'Seedless' by @PWCFreelance a very simple metaphor. Simple really is better. You cannot fail to get this.

Second winner by @stephenhunter21 is an ad very similar to a multi award winning ad by our very own McCann Manchester a few years ago. If you stick true to one minute thinking then something that's been done before is always going to happen. However, that does not discount the fact that it is a fantastic idea.

Well done to all. Tweet us your thoughts.

EarPeace Launches in Europe - ‘Music to your Ears’

London/June 17th, 2013 - EarPeace, the #1 high fidelity earplug for live entertainment in the USA and

Japan, has launched in Europe and the UK, opening an office in London.

EarPeace features the latest in-ear technology, and are engineered to deliver the superior sound-quality

and the ultra-low profile of custom ear plugs, at a fraction of the price. “We wanted to deliver 90% of the

performance at 10% of the cost of £150-200 custom earplugs” says Jay Clark, founder of EarPeace.

“EarPeace enhances any loud entertainment experience. It lowers the volume while keeping the sound

clear, is very comfortable and virtually invisible – all for less than £13.00. Music to your ears. The response

from DJ’s, musicians and fans has been tremendous.”

“I've been using EarPeace for the past five weeks” says Patrick Dierson, lighting director of Jay-Z's Blueprint

3 tour “and have been very impressed with both the performance and ease of use. They've been

working really well [and the] filtering gives a nice level of protection without feeling like you're missing the

live sound experience of the show.”

KC of the Fatback DJs says: “I use Ear Peace everywhere, from small bars with loud acoustics to nationally

renowned venues with $100,000 line array systems; they make every loud environment sound better.”

Great Sound, No More Headaches

The attenuation filters allow a small, precise amount of unobstructed sound to enter the ear; giving you

great sound at a lower volume, with the background noise filtered out. Musicians can hear instructions on

stage and fans can talk to each other in the crowd during the show – and still leave without their ears ringing.

As it only takes a 3db volume drop to double the safe amount of time you can stay listening to music,

EarPeace’s 10 – 20 db of protection provides a safe listening environment without compromising sound

quality.

For image conscious users, EarPeace ear plugs are designed to be low profile and discrete – even coming

in three different skin tones. The patented tab design allows you to control exactly how they fit in your ear

and remove them easily. The sleek stylish case is something that people actually want to clip to their keychain.

EarPeace ear plugs are resuable and made out of a soft, strong, hypoallergenic silicone, providing a

comfortable, yet snug fit that can also be worn under headphones by DJs.

“We are working with top artists, DJ’s and brands in the global music world to fundamentally change the

way people think about hearing protection. You can control the volume and improve your experience. You

don’t have to compromise any more. These are ear plugs you’ll actually want to wear.” says founder Jay.
