One Minute Brief WINNERS: Advertise Blondes
One Minute Brief WINNERS:
Advertise Blondes
Brilliant brief today with @blondedigital. Lots of fun ideas sent in for a light-hearted topic.
The prizes are a blonde wig to each of the two winners. The one catch is that you have to tweet a selfie of you wearing it. Looking forward to this after seeing who the two winners are!!
@stephenhunter21 with 'Fair do's' Great ad with a price point for hair dye. @chorles had a similar thought but this edged it with the product.
@dognbonesjones with 'have a blonde moment' Would love to see this ad for real.
Look forward to seeing you both in your wigs. Fight over the choice of two below.

Advertise Butchers
Great brief with loads of fantastic and puntastic entries. Was my first day working freelance. Hopefully no-one saw me retweeting pictures of meat during the day. Would have thought I was insane!

@dr_draper with 'our meat is so tender' Nice copy.
@matthew_wyatt with a nice ambient lift idea.
@poppycollier with 'Pat Butcher' as a great ambassador.
@yvonnemic with 'Butchers be Crazy' Bit of a crazy idea but I like it.
@ericbruton Lots of innuendos on show with this brief but this was subtle and eye-catching
@reganb18 with 'missed steak' This one made me laugh. Would be great to see as signage. Make it happen!
@little_scamp85 with 'fresh meat' Nice recruitment idea.
Well done all!

One Minute Brief of the Day: Campaign to get Nick a new creative partner
One Minute Brief of the Day:
Campaign to get Nick a new creative partner
Today's brief is a personal one to us as the creators of One Minute Briefs and Bank of Creativity.
Brief: Campaign to get Nick a new creative partner
The ads need to communicate some of the info below and that I am now available for freelance/permanent roles in the creative industry. Remember to include @BOC_ATM & @OneMinuteBriefs & any other relevant agencies/creatives Twitter names in your tweets.
As some people already know, myself (Nick) and James have recently left McCann Manchester. James has decided to go off travelling America etc so we are 'splitting up' as a team. Although it is on good terms and fully support what each other does in the future.
For this reason, I am currently looking for a new creative partner to team up with. I am the copywriter usually so I am mainly looking to partner up with an art director. However, I do also do art direction so I am open to working with other copywriters and creatives if this would work.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create an ad to raise awareness of type 2 diabetes
Today’s brief is being run
in collaboration with Ryan Wallman (a.k.a. @dr_draper) – who is Head of Copy at
Wellmark, a healthcare communications agency – and Advertising Health, an online hub for the healthcare advertising
industry.
Brief
Campaign to raise awareness of Type 2 Diabetes & prompt people who may be at risk to ask their doctor for a diabetes test.
Entries
For regulatory reasons, please ensure that you do not include the names of any prescription-only products in your ads.
Please include @wellmark_health and @adhealthmag in your tweets.
Winners

The overall winner will also receive Dave Trott’s ‘Predatory Thinking’ book as a prize.
Background: about type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is the most
common form of diabetes. It impairs the way the body uses glucose (sugar),
which results in a build-up of sugar in the blood.
Type 2 diabetes is caused
by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Although there is a strong
genetic predisposition, the risk of type 2 diabetes is greatly increased by
lifestyle factors such as obesity, lack of physical activity, and poor diet.
Many people first diagnosed
with Type 2 diabetes are unaware that they are even at risk, and most of them
are only diagnosed ‘by accident’ (i.e. as part of routine tests or while they
are being treated for other conditions).
The problem with this is
that organ damage can occur before any symptoms are noticed, so delayed
diagnosis of type 2 diabetes puts people at risk of serious complications, such
as kidney disease, eye disease (including blindness), heart disease, stroke, and
disease of the peripheral blood vessels (which can lead to amputation). About
half of the people with type 2 diabetes have some evidence of complications at
the time of their diagnosis.
For these reasons, type 2
diabetes is sometimes called ‘the silent killer’.

OMBLIVE 1.5
Bit short notice but with the struggle to make OMBLIVE2 happen (we were quoted 8 grand to hire a room in London today!!) we have decided to do a meet-up tomorrow for any OMBLES who can make it for a catch-up and some drinks/OMBLIVE1.5. Myself and @worldofolly are going so far and would be great to meet up with a few more.
It's also the England vs Scotland match tomorrow night and I'm half Scottish so should be interesting!!
We will be meeting on Tuesday 18th November. I'll be there from 6pm onwards at:
Sports Bar & Grill Piccadilly Circus
36-40 Rupert Street, London, W1D 6DW
We are still looking for venues for OMBLIVE2 in London, Birmingham and Manchester and I'm trying to keep ticket prices down as much as possible so if you have any ideas for venues please let us know.
Let me know if you can make it by tweeting us @oneminutebriefs or email interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk
Be great to see a few of you there.
Cheers,
Nick
