So the Teletubbies aren't really coming back but wouldn't it be great if they did!
Great fun response to the brief. Lot's of Eh-Ohs and Uh Ohs! Here are the winners.
@thescampfactory with a great image based ad.
@mrowainthomas with 'what's that coming over the hill?' Great line and image.
@BOC_ATM Definitely the riskiest ad of the day and sometimes silly is good. We'd like to see some crazy ideas like these in future briefs.
@Matthew__wyatt with They've made the switch. Great idea. Subtle use of image and line. Quality.

One Minute Brief WINNERS: Advertise The Haunt

Nearly 100 entries today on a brief to advertise something very close to us. Thanks to every single one of you who got involved.
We will be featuring the winners along with various others on the walls of The Haunt. We will then tweet the images and feature them on our website.
Amazing level of entries in quantity and quality but we have to have winners.
In no particular order we have:

@sebhill74 with 'we binge think' brilliant copy based ad.
@bshryane with 'I see ad people' Brilliant line.
@jmharcourt with 'you'll never go home' excellent double meaning.

@thescampfactory with the non-joke which made us laugh!
@dognbonesjones with 'if Carlsberg did ad agencies' a big compliment to McCann Mcr with it's pool, gym and now pub!

One Minute Brief:
Advertise The Haunt
As some of you already know, we had an idea a couple of months ago to do something for our agency McCann Manchester with the prize money we received for being voted global agency of the year across McCann Worldgroup.
We wanted to do something for everyone in the agency and make the place even more social. So why not create our very own pub for our staff?!
And here we are a couple of months later with 'The Haunt' (there's a ghost in there and we've seen UFO's!!)
We want you to advertise it.
Remember it is an in-house pub at an advertising agency. Not open to the public.
The best ones will be featured on the walls of our pub and myself and James will get the drinks in for the winners at our OMB event.
See here for more info on the pub: http://www.mccannmanchester.com/latest-news/cheers-mccann-manchester-launches-its-own-pub-2/
Here are some pictures of the pub and the Friday 13th Opening Night.

Advertise Kama Sutra
A 'very' fun Friday brief. Apologies for the late winners. We were opening our very own pub at McCann Manchester. We have been working on this for a couple of months and will share more details with you shortly.
Some great entries. Enjoyed going through them.
Interesting how, when the brief is a bit naughty, the entries are quite reserved. Then when we advertise normal products like chocolate the entries are often risky!
As ever, thanks for everyone getting involved.
Below are the winners.
@matthew__wyatt with 'go to bed with a good book' Possibly the plainest bit of copy you could have for a book ad but superb in context.
@alvo_muses with 'a rousing read' Fantastic line. All it needs.
@skynewsman with 'Cowgirls and Indians' Brilliant play on words.
@lpbiesty with the different approach of a drinking game. Nice thinking.
@dr_draper with a population based ad. Good different thinking.
@dognbonesjones with 'sex from a whole new angle' Great copy. Proof that design isn't everything with OMBs. An idea in note form works just as well.
Some familiar names amongst the winners. Going to show that the more OMBs you do, the better you become at simple, creative thinking.
Hopefully we can all continue to learn from each other and get more and more people into the OMB thinking. Brilliant stuff from everyone.
See you all Monday.
One Minute Brief WINNERS: Advertise Royal Mail
One Minute Brief WINNERS:
Advertise Royal Mail
With the news of the Royal Mail going up for sale to the public, we thought it would be a great OMB brief and the response was brilliant.
Here are the winners in no particular order.
@sharpstuffbits with 'TLC to PLC' Nice, emotive ad.
@tonysimmons with the message in a bottle ad. Nice visual to make people aware of Royal Mail going public.
@lpbiesty with 'remember that heartfelt e-mail?' Everything is so easy to lose in this digital age and this ad questions it which we like.
@writeygentleman with 'off with her head' referencing how the royal aspect won't be there any more when it becomes a public company.
@dognbonesjones with 'soon to be posting huge profits' Simple, hard hitting copy to make people buy shares.
@linda_naro with this great campaign replacing the crown in the logo to raise awareness of the privatisation.
Thanks to everyone who got involved in this one.

Loved seeing the creativity that can be had with a single shape.
The spiral was supplied courtesy of @whatiseewhen
Check them out on Twitter.
Some amazing illustrative entries and some really funny ideas but the top 2 really grasped the brief of creating an ad out of it.
@katesteeth with 'embarassing bodies' absolutely hilarious.
@robertgorton with '@signs behaving badly' brilliant idea combined with a good cause.
Hope you all enjoyed the brief as much as we did. Thanks everyone.
