Campaign to make people stick to speed limits

Absolutely overwhelmed by the fantastic response we had to this brief. The quality of ideas was immense and would love to see some of these being made for real. You should all be proud of your efforts.

For this reason we have quite a few winners today.

@dissential with the cause of death of men under 30 is men under 30. Very thought provoking copy.

@supercoolkp & @doritosyndrome with 2 versions of a great thought 'better late than never.

@gazzamatazzzz with some great media placement on public transport. There are a lot of ideas around death etc but there are all sorts of other things that can happen as a result. Great thought.

@chorles with a double win. 'Molly didn't reach 20' and the foot down spade visual. Both superb ideas.

@thenickryder with an ambient idea for mirrors in pubs. Quality thinking. 

@louegancreative with a good radio thought for an engine test and sounds. Very impactful.

@charl_banks with 'got somewhere to be?' Great copy.

@_hhcreative with a great TV thought. 'It's not a game' This could be a brilliant campaign. Can we all make this happen for real?

@simonmaye with 'Speeding cures heart disease' Very different way of looking at it. Almost using a positive to make you think of the negative. Brilliant work.

Well done everyone.

One Minute Brief WINNERS:

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

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.
