One Minute Brief WINNERS: Advertise Account Handlers

One Minute Brief WINNERS:

Advertise Account Handlers

Threw in this brief to see what type of an audience we all are and we had lots of cheeky entries sent in. Lots of fantastic work on show.

The winners have a great level of humour and show different levels of what people think of account handlers. Really interesting to see people's different reactions to this brief.

Quick note. Can people remember to include their Twitter handle on their entries in the corner so we can quickly credit winners.

Winners today: 

@C21chitchat with 'forward thinking' Hilarious but beautifully simple. Excellent ad.

@sharpstuffbits with 'the lesser of two evils' Fantastic thinking.

@jay_pegg with this cleaning signage based ad. Good humour, style and benefit.

@snyggstyle with the 'artbag' Another funny ad that uses a great agency insight.

@matthew__wyatt Nice graphic style and is a nice way of showing what they have to do when dealing with volatile creatives!

Thanks to all who got involved!

If you don’t already know about One Minute Briefs there is a bit of info below about us.
One Minute Briefs is a concept brought to you by Nick Entwistle & James Clancy at The Bank of Creativity.

We want to change the way people think about advertising and believe that our One Minute Briefs concept can change the way we work which benefits the creative industry whilst also being great fun as it forces you to rely on your creative instinct.

One Minute Briefs produce some fantastic/funny ideas via interaction over Twitter throughout the creative industry and we have given numerous talks about OMB’s including one at the art of new business at LBi, London and we also hosted a stand at the 2013 D&AD New Blood event.

We have just won an MPA Award for ‘Next Big Thing’ and a Fresh Award for ‘innovation’ and hosted an OMB workshop/talk at Freshtival and Promax UK.

The beauty of One Minute Briefs is that the ideas that come out of them can be really really shit or really really good. But you’ve only spent one minute on it so it’s all good whatever happens. We often find that the first idea you have is the best.

Hope to see you all there!
If you need to contact us then e-mail us at interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk
Please bring paper ticket or save it to your phone.

Recently our loyal OMBLE Joe has decided to move on in his career and as a valued member of the OMB community we'd like to rally the troops to #GetJoeAJob!!

Below is a blurb from Joe who can be found at @joe_from_cp Include this Twitter handle in your tweets. Winners to get a copy of Rory Sutherland's Book - The Wiki Man.

Essex born and raised, took myself as a bit of a technical drawer decided to take a route into Architecture. Having suffered 3 years I cut my losses and quit during my Year 3 dissertation.... Winner.

In a world of limbo, I tried Football Refereeing, Bar work and... *cough* Modelling *cough* before I landed my feet in the world of advertising sales. I found myself as a bit of a salesman, and moved on to what would be more familiar to you guys.. 'Creativepool' as one of their Account Managers.

It is here that I found you guys, One Minute Briefs and become absolutely besotted. Having spent roughly 6 years without touching the creative part of my brain, this was just what I needed. Seeing amazing advertising work from creatives around the country, as well as getting some great feedback (and some wins myself) on my own work. This is a huge part and reason as to why I'm taking 'My next step....'.

Now's the time I go into an agency. Advertising preferably. Do I try my trade in Account Management? Business Development? Or is there a slim chance that I have what it takes to be a Creative? Is it even possible...

Help me OMBles, and I will forever be in your debt.

A brief we previously ran in 2012 has shown us just how far OMB has come in a short space of time. The quality of ideas now is superb and the ideas vary. Great day for OMB with lots of ideas coming through.

@dr_draper with a nice copy connection between friends and product benefit.

@MisterDJC with 'Aural Sex' Phenomenal line and diagram. Hilarious too.

@see_low with 'Hearing aid' Very plain ad turns the product into something else and is interesting and campaignable.

@jimbobaggins75 with 'give your ears a treat' Lovely thought and visual.

@matthew__wyatt with a thank you letter from your ears. What a brilliant idea and great copy.

Firstly, we'd like to say a huge thank you for all of your tremendous support today. 

We have a special message for @60secondbriefs below:

We don't know who you are. We don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, We can tell you we don't have money. But what we do have are a very particular set of skills; skills we have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me us a nightmare for people like you. If you kill @60secondbriefs now, that'll be the end of it. We will not look for you, we will not pursue you. But if you don't, we will look for you, we will find you, and we will kill you.

The quality of ideas on show today was superb so we have a number of well deserved winners.

@RSJWalker with 'They're pants' Made us chuckle our nip nips off.

@little_scamp85 with 'Second Fiddle' Beautifully simple.

@alvo_muses with 'second hand idea' Nice scamp and simple thought.

@billodavies with this clever yet sweary ad. 'It takes a minute to create an idea, and a twat to steal one'

@CormMC with 'Is this a wind up' Great visual and line.

@dognbonesjones with '60 seconds aren't equal to a minute' Lovely thought.

@joe_from_cp with 'BOMBED' Simple visual. Love it.

@ryancreatescopy with 'Secs is overrated' Superb copy.

@jengrenside with '@60secondbriefs eat babies' Unlovely thought!

and finally @boc_atm with 'Remember you're an OMBLE' which it seems all of you have!

Thanks to you all.
