One Minute Brief:
Advertise JC Vape




I'm sure you've all seen the naughty adverts for VIP Vape on TV lately. They are getting a lot of attention. However, our friends at JC Vape are better!!! With loads of great quality products available and friendly, knowledgable staff.

They are offering £20 vouchers to spend on products to the winner. So whether you smoke or you don't they could be ideal for gifts etc.

Below is some info about JC Vape. You can see more on the website here: http://www.jcvape.co.uk

Make sure you follow them on Twitter and mention them in your entries on @jc_vape

Vaping?

This alternative to smoking is proving to be a revolution with its health, social and financial benefits.

As an example a 20 a day smoker will spend in excess of £50 a week, will cough at least 15 times a day, have stained teeth, clothes, fingers and skin, vile smelling breath and socially you have been forced to be ‘abnormal’ by the government making you smoke outside.

As an employer you have many hours of down time as your smokers head outside to take a break. Then there is the fire hazards including the obvious and who hasn’t lost a lighter and singed their hair and eye brows on the gas hob?

Vape liquid contains 4 pharmacy grade chemicals in comparison to cigarettes which contains over 4,000. 69 of which are known to cause cancers.

Vaping has no cancer causing chemicals but like tobacco contains nicotine which is the addictive ‘drug’. Treating the nicotine addiction is only a very small part of the problem. Many products have been produced as smoking cessation but do not address the habit of holding something and blow out smoke. Vaping does this by giving you something in your hand, something that allows you to blow out smoke and a safe nicotine hit without the 1000’s of dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes.

Vaping does not create a hazard for non smokers.

So what is the science behind it?

The Vaping units and e cigarettes are known as ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery systems) they work by a battery which when engaged produce heat which through a wick soaked in liquid and sucked through the mouth piece produce water vapour, you inhale the vapour.

Recent news:

The Government have now put in place a process where all products by 2016 will need to be licensed as a medicine and a medical device through the MHRA (Medicines and health care regulatory agency).

This is a welcome decision because this regulation will ensure that unscrupulous manufacturers will no longer be able to flood the market with sub standard products and liquids.

We are working with a supplier who is now already in the process of licensing by 2016, and is already UK based.

Come and experience the alternative..
Our shop is staffed only by people who fully understand what they are selling and are all now VAPERS not SMOKERS.

We offer the full range of liquids to taste using disposable mouth pieces to prevent any form of cross infection to our customers.

Advertise Anti-Nail Biting Polish

Was feeling tense this morning and started to bite my nails. Bad habit! So that's where the brief came from. And you've all definitely convinced me to buy some and wean myself off it!

Lots of great ideas resulting in the winners you see below.

@chrismillar89 with a nice play on words of chews/choose and 'nail biting stuff' This would be a brilliant brand name.

@alvo_muses and @mrowainthomas with 'Fighting Tooth and Nail' Clever yet humorous line.

@tomcdixon with let's not put another nail in the coffin. Nice use of photo-booth too!

@alvislives with the great sad face visual using the nail. Simple but effective.

@dognbonesjones with a couple of great lines and nice style of ad.

@thatbrandguy with 'nail biting ending' Clever line with good meaning.

@matthew__wyatt with the no entry sign on the nail. Great visual.

@lpbiesty keeping up his fine form of late with 2 entries. Nice freebie idea. And the new year solution is a brilliant line which would be perfect for a seasonal product ad.

Great work everyone. Fantastic prize available for tomorrow's winner. Get involved.

Interesting subject for today's brief. Something that isn't often thought about but is a very serious problem for some people. Amazing amount and great ideas throughout.

Today we have chosen, along with votes, a top 3.

In 1st place is @katesteeth with the 'Larynx effect' This is fucking genius. You need to make this into a campaign immediately.

2nd place with a very blunt yet subtle and clever idea using Tigger is @fifty50AD

3rd place with a beautifully simple line and CTA. 'Free Speech' by @alvo_muses

Thanks to all those who got involved.

One Minute Brief WINNERS:
Advertise Strip Clubs

We were feeling a bit strippy this morning so thought we would do a cheeky Tuesday brief for strip clubs. Why not eh?

Huge number of responses. Interesting to see that when we have a 'rude' brief, the entries are very subtle. When we have a blander product the entries are riskier. You crazy bunch!

Not even one nude shot too look at! #disappointed #NSFW ;)

Some great winners below:

@sharpstuffbits with 'bird-watching' and a nice anti-advertising idea.

@alvo_muses with a very shocking 'home/away strip' ad. Don't show the wife! And the beautiful image of a peeling banana! Subtle yet unsubtle! Is that possible?

@dognbonesjones with 'opening soon' Quite an elegant piece despite what it's getting at! And room with a view is a nice line.

@sarahpughdesign with a nicely littered pavement. Like this different thinking and cheeky copy.

@SMHemmings with strip advisor.co.uk Genius. I want to see this as a real thing or a campaign very soon.

@jimbobaggins75 with 'for your eyes only' nice and simple but eye-catching.

As ever, thanks to everyone who entered! You all get a free lap-dance from me and James at the OMB event.

Yet another fantastic day of entries for this brief. It seems that it's something our OMB creative community really feel strongly about. It's something we believe in too and we are pleased to have some great winners here.

In no particular order we have:

@lpbiesty with a very prolific set of entries 

'dull boy' - Superb line.
'support working class interns' - not everyone has an empty pit of money or contacts. Great insight.
'call centre' - Really emotive ad. Quality work.
'food for thought' - Absolutely love this line and visual on so many levels.

4 wins in a day. Got to be a new record. Give yourself a pat on the back of the nose.

@worldofolly with 'million dollar ideas for free' Real nice thought.

@shuckle_ with the ad showing rent payment as mad exposure. Great visual.

@dr_draper with 'no idea' Quality.

@thescampfactory with 'BOGOF' Brilliant sentiment.


@joe_from_cp with 'drawing for your account' - Nice play on words.

Lots of amazing ideas missed out. Keep up this amazing form. Much improved from everybody!

One Minute Brief WINNER:
Create the 2013 OMB Christmas Card

We were overwhelmed by the brilliance of the entries for this brief. It is a real shame that we can't give more than one winner here but we can only send one out.

We will be sending it out mainly as an e-card with a few physical copies also being sent.
Make sure you send us an e-mail to interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk so we can send yours to you.

The winner is @owenjevans with the 12 days of Christmas parody. We think it really captures exactly what OMB is about. We don't claim to be amazing. We don't claim to come out with an award winning idea every time. We are silly. Some of the ideas are shit. Some of the work is done on paint. The main thing is that we all have a great laugh doing it with a fantastic community spirit. And it is all about them 5 gold ideas. We love the card. Well done Owen. Also below are a few of our favourite entries.

Probably the best ever response to One Minute Briefs. Some superb ideas with great quality and quantity. 

Therefore, we have lots of winners for this brief. All well deserved.

You should all give yourselves a post-it on the back.

The winners are: 

@thescampfactory with 'I can't live without them' Eyecatching and funny. Quality idea.

@WorldOfOlly with the absolutely amazing line ' prevent a sticky situation with a sticky situation' Clever but hilarious.

@JustJoel_ with an advert that hasn't been designed yet. Love this different thinking.

@Placey80 with 'there's no point faking it' great line and visual that goes up against new technology. The original is best.

@lpbiesty with 'passive aggressive notes' Lovely insight. 


@RSJWalker with the reminder to buy post-it notes on her hand. Superb work.

@Bshryane with this nice visual of a 'memory stick'.

@NealeCP with 'Post it, own it' Really liked the thought in this.

Thanks to everybody who got involved. Some of you would have won had it been any other day.

@katesteeth with 'The Grand Kanye' Epic line and image. would be nice as a CD cover.

@stephenhunter21 referencing some of Kanye's lyrics.

@matthew__wyatt who uses Kanye West as a role model in a slightly different way. An insightful idea. Really nice.

This week saw the sad passing of a true legend who fought for his rights and changed a lot of people's lives. We thought it would be nice if we could use our community to create a big tribute to him.

The entries were particularly good for this brief and we think the 3 winners are fantastic.

In no particular order here they are:

@PaperJamCreate with 'Best in Peace' Stunning line.

@BOC_ATM with a nice take on the South Africa flag and the peace sign.

@chrisod1993 with an amazing line 'blood sweat and 27 years' Great work.

Thanks to everyone. This is our 500th post. We can't do it without you all. Nuff respect.
