One Minute Brief WINNERS:

Campaign for counselling Solange & Jay-Z

Jay-Z looked liked he was in a bit of trouble as Beyonce's sister Solange battered him whilst Beyonce stood there. So we set the brief for a response counselling ad for them both. 

Winners below:

@cormmc with 'Solange to your problems' Puntastic!

@chrisod1993 with 'hard knock life' Nice use of song lyrics.

@little_scamp85 with 'dirt on your shoulder?' Hilarious and '98 problems' A nice different take to the 99 problems ads that was done a lot.

@paperjamcreate with 'solace' Nice typographic visual.

Well done all.

Advertise Paddy Power

An unusually low number of entries today. Would be interesting to hear people's reasons for not getting involved with it being such a good chance to get your work seen and shared by one of the best brands in social media.

Despite this, we still got quite a few entries and all of a good quality. 

Winners below:

@cormmc with 'How about we make this a little interesting?' Great insight.

@richbayley80 with 'Throw a Paddy' Nice way of getting their offers in.

@boc_atm 'live streaming' and 'the power of a paddy' 

Great stuff everyone. Enjoy your weekends. Nuff love.

Advertise the Pound Pub

We just had to set the brief to advertise the Pound Pub after we heard the news that the first one has opened up in Middlesborough. Had a lot of 'Quids Inn' ideas and a lot of you thought it was in Manchester! But the ideas below have won because we think they get compliment the brief well.

@richardpeacock with 'sALE' Very impactful and relates well.

@paperjamcreate with a nice use of media space. 'Get trollied'

@bshryane with the pound/bottle top image. Nice visual.

Feeling queasy after looking at all the optical illusions in the entries here. Some great ideas which you can see below.

@alvo_muses with 'This show will send you to sleep' Superb thinking.

@__sam_taylor__ with an ad that hypnotises you into favoriting and retweeting. Nice.

@dognbonesjones with a really nice use of OMB branding. Great ad.

@alison_norden with a great idea that's a bit more serious with a take on the 'chicken' them. Brilliant.

James was telling me about a dominatrix programme he watched last night where people paid other humans to eat their shit on toast. Disgustingly interesting.

So of course, this just had to be today's brief!!

And the winners lived up to this great brief. Loads of brilliant ideas around today. Some of which didn't quite make the win.

@charl_banks with 'we'll tell you what you want, how you want it' Can't argue with that ad!

@alison_norden with this genius line for a poster/voucher! 'Bring this ad and I'll shove it up your ****' Hilarious.

@shawbloke with this great driving instructor themed ad.

@dr_draper with some nice copy 'We've never had a customer who didn't complain' Great thought.

@killedthehype with a brilliant copy campaign 'We'll leave you begging/screaming/gagging for more'.

@mrowainthomas with 'sore berries and whipped screams' Lovely combination of words there!

@BOC_ATM with a testimonial based campaign with a twist.

Great stuff today!!

GET NOTICED

Not posted the blog in a while but we have just received the e-mail above and we HAD to share it!

This is the type of shit that gets you noticed.

Not too lengthy and not too short (sometimes we get e-mails as short as...'Got any placements?') DELETE.

Make a bit of effort in what you're writing. Be different. Don't just expect people to want to read what you send. Make them enjoy it. It's a piece of work in itself to capture someone's attention. Once you've done that, you can show them your work. Personality is key. 

Creative agencies receive hundreds of e-mails a week from students and people looking for a job. What will make you different. Great work isn't worth anything if no-one looks at it.

Get Noticed in everything you do. Starting with that very first e-mail. Remember first impressions count.

Give it a go. interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk

If you are one of them, your prize could be a potential role, or to help someone you know get a job as we will forward your e-mail onto the Lad Bible with our recommendation. So even if you don't fancy it yourself I'm sure you'll know someone who would!

Send all e-mails to interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk and if you haven't won but are interested then let us know and send examples of work plus CV.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Advertise a FREE magazine for creative students by creative grads. With Shellsuit Zombie.

One Minute Brief of the Day:
Advertise a FREE magazine for creative students by creative grads.
With Shellsuit Zombie.

Today's brief is a collaboration with the guys at Shellsuit Zombie who we will be working with on future events and workshops starting with D&AD New Blood this year.

See info below and remember to include @shellsuitzombie in your tweets.

Prize will be the 'creepy fan', a copy of the magazine, and a feature on ours and Shellsuit Zombie's website.

ShellsuitZombie have just printed issue 5 of our magazine and we want to post it out to as many creative students as possible (for free of course). The theme is money and features words & illustrations from Goldie, Chris (Simpsons artist), Hollie Newton as well as a whole heap of fresh grad talent.

So we're sending the mag to students in batches of 100 for free (via the hyperlink above) in return for a promise they will help us by distributing them to as many creative students at uni as possible.

ShellsuitZombie is a project run by and for the benefit of young creatives. Through our printed publication, website and regular events, talks and workshops we aim to represent the young voice in an industry too often dominated by the voices of those much older than ourselves. With this aim we keep a young group of creative minds working away behind the scenes to bring you the very best in fresh creativity.

Get involved!
