Advertise Easter Eggs

Our monthly collaboration with the Fresh Awards is here.

See below for info from Fresh. Remember to include @freshawards in your tweets. 

We’ve teamed up with our pals at both The Ad Pad and One Minute Briefs to run a monthly themed competition where the winners can win not only a rather snazzy free Ad Pad, but the overall winner (the best from the six months worth of work) will also get five free Fresh entries and a two tickets to the swanky awards do later in the year…..that’s well over £750 worth of wonderful creativity!

This months competition is to advertise Easter Eggs.

As long as the idea contains the Fresh logo somewhere in the scamp and follows the theme, it’ll be very welcome!

Advertise Weedkiller

Some brilliant work on show. Lots of different ideas to advertise something as mundane as weedkiller!! We have a few winners today.

@misterdjc with 'root of the problem' Good play on words and nice visual.

@richardpeacock with 'law'n order' Nice campaignable idea that could be pushed further.

@alvo_muses with 'turf wars' again a nice starting idea for some sort of campaign.

@stephenhunter21 with 'weeding between the lines' Made us laugh but is  a fun line line for a boring subject.

@lpbiesty with a nice insight using dandelions and wishes.

@iainthorley with this scary character. Liked this as it was so different and image based.

Thanks to all.

Create 'over honest' ads

Brilliant day of One Minute Briefs. It has been very difficult to choose winners due to the nature of the brief but we feel that the following selection deserved a win today.

One thing we did notice is that we had a lot of entries without names on. This makes it very difficult to judge. Make sure you include your Twitter name on the corner of your ads.

Not only does it help us to choose winners, sometimes the ads go viral and if your name isn't there you can't take the credit.

Winners as follows...

@cogdissdesign with 'thinner than the last one' Great truth here.

@leaworthington with a great product benefit mixed with some realism in this bubble gum ad.

@emmahessen with this lovely fat McDonalds 'M' visual.

@thinkbig_ideas with this brilliant line for the Conservatives.

@iainthorley with this great coke flavour ad. Who knows what flavour it is?

@joe_from_ with 'iBreak' Nuff said.

@jackybarber with a cheeky EE ad going the opposite to what they say.

@richbayley with this great honest line about Pringles packaging.

@stephenhunter21 with this realistic ad for the lottery!

@killedthehype with 'F'Oreal' Brilliant change of brand name and line.

@LanderAnnabel with this hilarious line for budget food.

@alvo_muses with a serious ad campaign using Nike's slogan. Could be a very campaignable though/case study.

@dognbonesjones with an ad highlighting what we all think. That the DFS sale is ALWAYS on!

Thanks to absolutely everyone. Amazing standard today. Well done!

@paperjamcreate with a great use of awards and copy.

Amazing stuff today.

One Minute Brief WINNERS:

Advertise MPA Awards 2014

Yesterday, we had a fantastic response to this brief in collaboration with the MPA.

Really impressed with the enthusiasm and quality of ideas. The MPA were also very impressed with the ideas. So much so, that they have also offered a year's membership to the winner and runners-up. This is in addition to the winning prize of two tickets to the winner.

So without further ado, the results are as follows:

@themadmancs with 'the spotlight' is the overall winner. A nice visual/line interpretation using the graphic of the logo.

@richardpeacock with 'Inspiration Street' and 'Manc Union' Both brilliant ideas.

Thanks to all who got involved. Your work will be exhibited at the MPA Awards and we will be sure to get some great pictures for you all.
