Brief: Create posters to celebrate 10 years of the Unity Foundation

The Unity Foundation is an award winning social enterprise that delivers a range of services using the arts, sports and culture to deliver a positive social change for young people and their communities.

Reaching its tenth year in working in the community, The Unity Foundation continues to respond to local social problems that they see on a daily basis; this includes unemployment, families living in poverty, low educational achievements, school exclusions and children entering the care system.

The Unity Foundation aims to provide equal opportunities for all young people to achieve and develop into positive young citizens. For some this may require developing existing skills and capabilities and for others it may mean exploring their potential. A supportive and innovative way of working helps our young people become productive young adults.

Therefore as part of the 10 year celebration of The Unity Foundation, we would like to see you advertise what The Unity Foundation and what it means to you.

Please see our website and Summer Arts College video for more inspiration.

Campaign to get Nick a Creative Partner

First of all I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who got involved with this brief. It was particularly important to me and I have had a lot of interest in the role of creative partner. I'm currently working as a freelance creative partner and still looking to work with someone.

Lots of brilliant runners up that I wanted to give a mention which you can see below with @hattiebythesea @sianellenj @doritosyndrome @supercoolkp @richbayley80 @alvo_muses @_johnford @chrisod1993 @stewallan

However, the one that really stood out was 'bank job' and 'partner in crime' which really captured what I am looking for. It highlighted an available role, linked to the Bank and rewards etc...Really clever ad. Well done to @saraundo_

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.

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.

We will be offering an OMB t-shirt and Pentagram book to the winner. More tees getting delivered this week. E-mail us if you'd like one to interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk

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.

Please include @wellmark_health and @adhealthmag in your tweets.

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’.

Good luck to everyone who gets involved.
