Huge response to today's brief with lots of mincing around going on! Had a great laugh looking through the entries and there are some well worthy winners!!

@shaunloynds with 'make of it what you will' Really nice line showing how adaptable it is and keeping it open to opinion.

@sarahlong_xx with 'enjoy them every month' Nice thought to encourage sales.

@iainthorley with 'brain food' Not very foody as an image but a great idea and visual.

@limitedition_ts with 'performs better than it looks' A fantastic campaign. We always like ads that go out of category or don't use the product explicitely.

@vella_jon with 'it's fucking goof for you' Nice and blunt. Love it.

One Minute Brief WINNERS: Campaign to #BanSuarez

One Minute Brief WINNERS:
Campaign to #BanSuarez

Immense response to today's rather topical brief. Lots of people got their teeth stuck in to the challenge and we've ended up with some brilliant ideas. Lots of them worked and are worthy winners in their own right. However, the brief was a campaign about banning him so the following ones touch upon the brief more than others.

@matthew__wyatt with 'Risk Everything' With Suarez being Adidas, Nike could have done something with this. Could have even been 'Sometimes you shouldn't risk everything' or something. Strong thought this.

@joe_from_essex with 'Bite Back' Simple yet effective line.

@luketonge with 'once, twice...' Funny line that shows how ridiculous what he did is.

@c21chitchat with a great 'Jaws' reference 'we're gonna need a bigger ban' Great thinking.

@thebigcreative with 'No more goal mouth action' Fantastic line.

@lavieencmyk with an apaology ad from Colgate. Nice way to make a positive from the negative.

@gavinporter with a nicely written letter from FIFA.

@adriandouble_r with a quality visual of next year's FIFA game cheat. Great stuff.

@stephenhunter21 with 2 entries. Great visual using the lines of the pitch and 'Unplayable' Sometimes one word is enough and this is simple brilliant.

Thanks everyone.

@squaredsam with 'the morning after' Great humour and truth done in a clever way.

@matthew__wyatt with a topical England ad using our flag. Nice visual.

@supercoolkp with 'rub it in' Think this could make a brilliant social campaign for sharing holiday photos etc with people back home.

@r_bradshaw91 with 'pat on the back' nice positive and humorous take on the brief.

@chorles with 'lobster repellant' Love ideas that go out of category and this one does it well.

One Minute Brief WINNER:

Support Italy Campaign with @FreshAwards

After England's second defeat we needed Italy to help us out so we started an English support for Italy campaign for a bit of fun. This made for an interesting brief and lots of brilliant ideas.

The prize for the winner is an Ad Pad and they go into the next round of voting for the winners of all the Fresh monthly briefs. The eventual winner will receive free Fresh Award entries.

Today's winner is @stephenhunter21 with 'England Expects' A brilliant line alongside a photo of Pirlo. Really nice idea.

One Minute Brief WINNER: #CheerRio

One Minute Brief WINNER:

#CheerRio

Really enjoyed this great collaboration with Cheerios UK. Using the hashtag #CheerRio, we invited you to show us your CHEERS using pics, videos and ads. The response was fantastic with lots of great content created. Much of which was featured on Cheerios FB during the England games. Unfortunately our CHEERS were in vain as we have gone out of the World Cup but it was good fun whilst it lasted.

We have two winners and lots of great runners-up.

The winners get the win for their creative cheers using Cheerios and showing their personality with their entries. Therefore we have split the prize.

Winning the OMB T-shirt is @markemoon with a great cheer with Cheerios on his face. Cos...why not!? Great family cheering pic too!

Winning the advertising creative book is @killedthehype for actually getting into a box of Cheerios to show us her cheer! Dedication!

Runners up are:

@katesteeth who seems to have picked up his TV during the Sturridge goal!

@matthew__wyatt with a great pic of a possible future England star??

@romglish with a brilliant cheerio tactic board.

@Alison_Norden with 'for winners' and a 'sterling start' Great visual and line in these two ideas.

@supercoolkp and @justjoel_ with nice typographic ideas using the Cheerios as the 'O's'

@dognbonesjones with a rather hopeful 5-0 to England scoreline.

@Paperjamcreate with a brilliant Vine of belly button cheering. 

Thanks to everyone who got involved. Hope you had fun with it. Only 4 years to wait til the next World Cup for us!

One Minute Brief WINNERS: Advertise Restraining Orders

One Minute Brief WINNERS:

Advertise Restraining Orders

Recently been considering getting a restraining order on James. He keeps turning up at my work and sitting next to me every day. So I thought that it would make a great brief.

And it was, with a huge variety of different ideas.

Here are the winners:

@limitedition_ts with 'no more ex-factor' a humorous line to catch they eye about a serious issue.

@killedthehype with 'we'll be watching you' Using famous song lyrics to make it relate to people. Nice.

@dr_draper 'we'll help you draw it' As ever, a nice simple bit of copy from the doc.

@gavinporter with 'curb their enthusiasm' Simple, effective and nice take on a well known saying.

@richbayley with a Space Invaders theme. Strong campaignable idea. Could work into digital and apps etc.

@mcbruvin with 'fuck off' Loved the bluntness of this. Not sure this would get past the advertising authorities but it's OMB. Only one rule here.

@paperjamcreate with a brilliant typographic campaign cropping the bad stuff out.

@jayneperfect with an eye-catching iphone graphic ad.

@supercoolkp with 'draw the line under it' Great idea.

Well done to everyone.
