Below are some pictures of Fresh Judging, our creative excursion to Ten Pin and even our games of Cards against Humanity with the illustrious company listed below...it was brilliant to meet everyone. See you all at the awards!!

One Minute Brief EVENTS: Ideas Foundation

One Minute Brief EVENTS:

Ideas Foundation

The Ideas Foundation brought Year 11 students from 3 Manchester schools in to see us at our agency McCann Manchester and we put on a workshop, talk, OMB tournament and talent shows. Other members of the team hosted talks and presentation workshops etc.

The day was very rewarding for ourselves, the students and also their tutors. Days like these are great for people to learn that they can all produce great ideas and have a great future in creative industries if that's what they want to have links with D&AD New Blood and other talent schemes and we'd like to build on these relationships as well as make new ones.

Therefore, if you are a tutor, student or organisation (or you know people who might be interested in collaborating) then please e-mail us at interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk

Below are a few pictures of the day...

After seeing a few cheeky selfless happening at Fresh Awards Judging, we decided to run this brief the next day with Fresh and you didn't disappoint. It was great to see some of your selfies and interesting ads!

Here are the winners:

@little_scamp85 with 'expression yourself' Looks like he had fun and his nice ambient idea using mirrors too.

@dognbonesjones with a promotional idea for DIY stores. Nice thought.

@binxy with a very blunt ad that made us laugh. 'Shoot Yourself'

@doritosyndrome with 'check your selfie' Not sure about the images this concept would create but the idea of checking your selfie is brilliant to raise awareness as a call to action.

@GarrickMidd with 'Take pride in your selfie' Really nice line for this product.

Well done all.

One Minute Brief WINNER:

Advertise One Minute Briefs are on Facebook

We were very impressed by the entries to this brief. It showed the tremendous support you all give to One Minute Briefs and being able to do briefs like this means we can make the community even stronger by using OMB in different ways. Facebook is a place where content can be shared very quickly so if work is shared on there too you have a big chance of getting it seen by a lot of people. Especially if it is topical. Therefore, we'd like you to interact more and share more on Facebook aswell as Twitter. Who knows the opportunities it could bring for you...

Like us at https://www.facebook.com/OneMinuteBriefs and get commenting and sharing! 

The ideas in response to the brief were fantastic and on any other day we'd have lots of winners. However, one really stood out to us as a stunning idea that captured what we are all about in a brilliantly simple way.

The winner is @pw_bond with 'Ad Friend'

One Minute Brief WINNER: RIP Robin Williams Posters

One Minute Brief WINNER:

RIP Robin Williams Posters

Another stunning tribute created by the OMB community today for a legendary actor and person. It was very sad news to hear and it is great that we can use our creativity to share our thoughts about Robin Williams.

Today is probably the first time this has ever happened, but the win has gone to us at @BOC_ATM. It's very rare we give ourselves a win...and even rarer that we are the only winner. However, the votes were heavily in this poster's favour. It's much appreciated. There were lots of fantastic ideas out there today. Well done to all!

Lots of amazing entries today with some worthy winners for a brilliant product. However, one stood out from the rest and the votes reflected this.

@paperjamcreate with a fantastic ambient media idea. Would love to see more of these in a campaign. It also shows that not every idea to win an OMB has to be a poster although it's usually the best place to start. It's all about the start of an idea.

Well done to everyone!

One Minute Brief WINNERS: Campaign for or against #BorisJohnson to be Prime Minister

One Minute Brief WINNERS:

Campaign for or against #BorisJohnson to be Prime Minister

We ran this brief in response to the news that Boris Johnson is considering running for Parliament and eventually wants to be considered for Prime Minister. So we opened it up for or against this happening and the results were brilliant and well divided.

@matthew__wyatt with 'on your bike Boris' Nice copy.

@cogdissdesign with 'this man wants to run our country' A clever idea as it leave the opinion up to the person looking at the ad and is stronger for it.

@suchand_such with 'Be More Boris' Great parody ad that could be a great campaign idea.

@misterdjc with 'unconservative' Brilliant sketch and line.

@chorles using what many used as a negative to say something positive. He did look very silly but you can't argue with how patriotic it was!

Well done everyone.
