Advertise Toast
Seems like everyone likes toast! Amazing response to the brief. Thanks to all of you toast lovers.
Of course, we always have winners so here they are in no particular order:
@rupertdepaula with a simple CTA to use your loaf. A lot of people chuck theirs out so this make sense and is a clever line.
@lpbiesty with the nice visual of the toast popping out of the loaf.
@matthew__wyatt with 'serving the nation' great visual and strong line.
@hellonaomi_ with this nice link to Remembrance Day using the soldiers and 11/11.
@millydacosta with 'the best thing since sliced bread' Very simple but links brilliantly.
@carlybrooks with #totes Could be a very current fun campaign.

Absolutely amazing response today to a fantastic brief from a great collaboration with @LizzyNicholls88 Thanks to every single one of you for your entries. It has been one of the best OMB's yet!
We had lots of examples of people doing their own which were hilarious!! However, we feel the winners told the story of what Literal Scribbles is about perfectly.
Runners up were @alvo_muses and @millydacosta with their brilliant copy based entries. Special postcard style prints go to you two.
The overall winner uses a celebrity endorsement and turns around a very famous saying. Brilliant piece of thinking. Love it. Framed print and postcard style prints of her choice goes to @hellonaomi_
E-mail us your addresses etc and we will get prizes to you.
Thanks everybody on behalf of us and Lizzy.

A fun Friday brief for a fantastic product. Lots of hilarious ideas and some serious ones too. A good mix which is what we like.
So this mean we have a mix of serious and fun winners too.
Thanks to all who got involved.
Our overall with a refreshing (literally) graphic design based entry is @stephenhunter21 with this flower graphic based on the product itself. Superb.
Our other winners in no particular order are:
@Joe_from_CP with 'a present from me to you, to me' great line for you to buy it someone as a gift. Although I think you would be given a slap with a wet fish if you did!
@SuperBezzie with this cheeky Magic Tree visual. Nice.
@sophie_gaf with a slightly changed 'Friends' reference. Light-hearted entry that would never run but we like controversial stuff.
@placey80 using a retro style using people's names to create an acceptably unacceptable ad. Love it.
@dambritton with the most straight to the point ad of the lot. No messing.
And last but least is these two cheeky bastards with this brilliant ad using One Minute Briefs. @robertgorton and @bshryane (although we did win one the next day ;))
One Minute Brief WINNER: Advertise @BritBehaviour
One Minute Brief WINNER:
Advertise @BritBehaviour
We collaborated with this brilliant Twitter feed about typical British Behaviour as we thought it was hilarious and could relate to it.
There were a lot of fun entries including these entries by @sarahpughdesign @sharpstuffbits and @dognbonesjones which really captured the spirit of Brit Behaviour and really made us laugh. However, the overall winner with this very simple line which relates to the behaviour as well as the Twitter platform itself is @alvo_muses with 'Carry on Tweeting'.

An exciting collaboration with our talented friend Elizabeth Nicholls and her project that we think is hilarious with fantastic illustration.
Here is the project defined in a single sentence:
Literal Scribbles plays on common English phrases, quotes and
sayings, taking them word for word to create ridiculous (and often
sarcastic) situations.
Below is a logo to use in your ads. We have also included an example of one of the illustrations below but you can see them all here...http://www.literalscribbles.com
Make sure you include @lizzynicholls88 in your tweets.
Framed A4 illustration to be won along with special postcard style prints.
Good luck!

One Minute Brief WINNER: Create a Thank You ad for NABS
One Minute Brief WINNER:
Create a Thank You ad for NABS
Yesterday's brief was an excellent opportunity to work with the brilliant organisation of NABS. The brief was to create an ad to thank all the supporters of NABS in it's 100th year.
We had a fantastic response and are really pleased that the spirit of NABS came out in a lot of the work. NABS have been in touch with us to give us their winners but they are chuffed with the level of interaction and entries. Check them out here: http://www.nabs.org.uk/
We are hoping to work with NABS on lots of new projects in the future and hope you will all play an important role in them too.
Two ads really stood out to NABS so there is a bottle of champagne to give away to the winner and runner-up. The winner's work will also be used and credited as a full page press ad in Campaign magazine. Can't wait to see it!
The overall winner who's work will be features is @robertgorton with 'advertising's longest running campaign' a fantastic line that is bang on brief and really reflects the work NABS so as well as thanking their supporters.
The runner up is @jay_pegg with 'for the good and bad' a brilliant sentiment that was also really liked. Great visual along with the line. Bottle of champagne for you.
Please can you both e-mail us with your address to sort out prizes and next steps.
Thanks to everyone who got involved. You have all played a great part in spreading the word about NABS and the work they do. It really is appreciated.
Time
The following piece is a Guest Post by Adele Mitchinson.
Relates really well to our @OneMinuteBriefs concept.
Time.
The hour glass filled with sand slips through the pitt and ends on a pile of minutes past.
How many minutes today did you spend procrastinating? How many did you spend on idol thoughts? How many did you waste not thinking of anything at all?
I once heard a story, of which I cannot confirm its legitimate substance, however the idea made me think. Einstein was supposed to have one set of clothes, but multiple pairs. Same shirt, same trousers, same socks, same under crackers. The idea being that he needed to use all of his attention on thinking of great and profound things. So by eliminating the need to think about his clothes freed up a little bit more thinking time.
Now imagine for a moment that you could strip your day of every thought, useful and not so useful. Place it into a box and explore something else. Collate all the time you wasted. Could you have solved that brief that's driving you crazy? Complete another degree? Find the cure for world hunger?
I would like to conduct a small social experiment. Tomorrow morning when you wake try and make a record of all the time you could have used while you were waiting for a file to save, or watching the kettle boil or picking out those matching socks.
We all own the full 60 seconds in a minute, it's what we do with it that sets us apart.

One Minute Brief WINNERS: Anti-Gun Campaign
One Minute Brief WINNERS:
Anti-Gun Campaign
Often we try and keep the briefs fun but it is good to have some serious ones in the mix to keep it challenging. And you didn't let us down. There were some fantastic entries to this brief as you can see in the winners below.
@hellonaomi_ & @tobysyer with 'there's no respawn in real life' We live in an age where gaming is part of common knowledge and is more real than ever so this line works really well.
@wavey_gravy with 'Stick 'em up' Love the opposite of copy and image here.
@danniyelldesign with a similar idea about putting your hands up. Strong collaborative idea could be in this one.
@PWCFreelance with a great fact based ad. 'what more ammunition'? Brilliant thought.
@matthew__wyatt with 'children see, children do' Hard hitting image and line here.
@emmalydz with 'the only guns you should have possession of.' A more light-hearted approach but this could be a good initiative to get kids out of crime and into gyms etc and could be a big idea in this.
Thanks to all who entered.
One Minute Brief WINNERS: Anti-Halloween Campaign
One Minute Brief WINNERS:
Anti-Halloween Campaign
Brilliant response to this brief resulted in lots of fun ideas, clever ideas and some serious ones too. A great mix. All with merit in their own way.
We thought an anti-halloween brief would be more interesting than just halloween and were proved right with a great day for OMBS.
Lots of winners today due to a high level of quality and quantity of entries.
Winners:
@mr_al with this very simple child protection ad. Fantastic copy.
@hellonaomi_ with a good use of Jimmy Saville to create a thought provoking ad.
@joe_from_cp with 'stupid one minute briefs' Totally different approach as a bit of fun and made us laugh.
@NickCanDo with 'except' using a parody that goes against everything we've ever been taught. Very strong.
@PWCFreelance with 'make it go away' brilliant line alongside a knock knock joke style.
@stephenhunter21 with a hard hitting religious ad. 'renounce halloween' Funny yet also serious.
@dognbonesjones with 'RIP off' and '£8 billion' Can't help thinking these ads should be combined into one though!
@matthew__wyatt with 'treat yourself' love how it is actually a positive ad for a brand that says anti-halloween indirectly.
@chrismillar89 with 'Hallowean' This could be a huge campaign. Great idea and funny too.
@tonysimmons with 'fuck halloween' The silliest idea of the day but we like silly and it gets your attention!
@owenjevans with a bit of a down to earth self promotion style ad. Nice stuff.
Thanks to all who entered.
