Advertise #SBS #SmallBusinessSunday 

As some of you may know, we were recently chosen by Theo Paphitis as one of his #SBS winners, and on Friday, One Minute Briefs will be attending an event for all of the winners and meeting Theo himself. Being one of the winners has been a positive experience for us and today we have a brilliant collaboration with Ryman to spread the word about what #SBS can do for other small businesses and there are some great prizes up for grabs.

Brief:
Advertise #SBS #SmallBusinessSunday 

Remember to include @TheoPaphitis and @RymanStationery in your tweets.
You can also use the hashtags #SBS and #SBSWinners

Prizes:
- A signed copy of the Theo Paphitis Autobiography
- £50 Ryman Voucher
- Attend the #SBSWinners event as One Minute Briefs' guest.

Info:
Small Business Sunday or #SBS, as it’s known on Twitter, was created by Theo Paphitis in October 2010.

Each week Theo encourages SME’s to tweet him (using @TheoPaphitis) a description of their businesses using hashtag #SBS. Only tweets made in the time slot between 5.00 PM and 7.30 PM each Sunday can be in with a chance of winning.

Theo then chooses his favourite six each week who are then re-tweeted the following Monday at 8pm.

Theo has over 650,000 followers on Twitter, so a simple retweet can provide a massive boost to the chosen lucky businesses.

The benefits range from increased Twitter followers, to positive media publicity and crucially for many, increased sales!

@richbayley80 with 'curl up and fry' Made me LOL.

On the day people are apparently the unhappiest we thought we'd try and inject some positivity into the idea of a #blueMonday with this brief and the responses definitely did that. The two winners really transformed the idea of a Blue Monday.

@richbayley80 with a great branded response holiday ad.

@gazzamatazzzz with a cheeky ad for Viagra. Really nice idea and use of the famous colour.

Well done all!

Great brief to end the week with and really pleased with the response to this one. All of them really capture the spirit of OMB LIVE. It's not your average corporate creative event. Which is why we are hosting it in a cellar in Digbeth! It's all about networking, spontaneity, creativity, music and bringing together this brilliant online community of OMBLES. The last event was great and this one will be even better. Can't wait to see you all.

With half of the tickets gone before we even get into February...make sure you get yours in advance of March 13th. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/omblive-2-tickets-15386449284

With so many great entries there a lots that get a mention here but we can only have two overall winners. They both already have #OMBLIVE2 tickets so I am giving them both an OMB tee shirt. Just e-mail me your sizes at interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk and I'll have the tees waiting for you at #OMBLIVE2

The first winner to receive an OMB T-shirt is @dissential taking the rap part of the brief and creating a brilliant representation in his own freestyle. I even forgive him for spelling my name wrong ;) I am hoping that he will be performing this rap on stage during the One Minute Talent Show. Get thinking of your talents people. Last year we had football skills, raps, impression and even a One Minute strip! Not naming names (Joe Brooks)

The second winner is @aga_nat with 'Ready for the Sequel?' and 'Tweet, meet, greet, repeat' This is brilliant copywriting that captures what it's all about.

Narrowly missing out on the prizes were:

@chorles with 'Brief Encounter' Simple and effective message.

@acarrollsmith 'nothing to do with quickly disappearing underwear' Made us laugh this one.

@richbayley80 bringing out the Friday the 13th aspect!

@oolailai with a different take on the brief. Focussing on the free JagerOMB. Like it!

@damienf75 putting the WOMBLES into the venue. If only!

@stephenhunter21 with the stylish 'Madlands' Very nice.

@tobyjross with 'Oh My Briefs' Eye-catching and could be a poster campaign using different words.

@chrisod1993 with a collaborative ad with @boc_atm to show a glass and reflection to turn it into a sand timer. This could be a stunning visual.

@matthew__wyatt with 'Remeet' So simple but perfect for the second event and great meaning.

@_johnford loved the style of this campaign with different headlines relating to the event.

@creativebrummie with 'Tick Tick Tick BoOMB' Nice copy and scamp.

Thanks all. And if you've not got your tickets yet you can get one at the bottom of the page. If anyone is thinking they are too far away remember that a lot of people are travelling and sharing accommodation etc so you don't have to miss out if you want to come. Info about what's happening at #OMBLIVE2, venue details and suggestions on accommodation are here: http://oneminutebriefs.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/omb-live-2-has-arrived.html For students coming in groups we can sort out group ticket prices if you email me at interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk

First of all, I'd like to say a huge thank you personally for getting involved in this brief. Means a lot that this creative community gets behind such great causes and help each other out. Sue, Tom and the family would also like to thank you for your efforts and donations today. They commented on how nice it had been to see such a response and the two winners they chose really capture everything in the brief perfectly.

Winning the free #OMBLIVE2 ticket is @richbayley80 with 'a match made in heaven' A superb line and visual that captures everything about the relationship between the Craig Sellars Fund, the Seashell Trust and, of course, football.

Winning the OMB T-Shirt is @pw_bond with 'Play on' 2 words that have such great meaning and reflect the sentiments perfectly.

Thanks once again for all of your support. It has been a great tribute that I am very proud about you all getting involved in. 

Nick. :)

On behalf of ourselves we'd like to thank every single one of you who entered and made this one of our most successful briefs to date! Absolutely wonderful ideas. Really going to show that quick simple ideas can actually be beautiful. Which is what the book 'A Beautiful Constraint' is all about.

Was very difficult to decide a winner but after a lot of thought and looking at the votes there was one that stood out from the rest.

E-mail us at interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk to claim your prize of a full pack of @eatbigfish books and another special surprise gift.

The overall winner is @alvo_muses with the beautiful line that really related to the book itself and the constraints that it adheres to itself. Stunning.  

Others that get a special mention but narrowly missed out on the prizes were:

@jay_pegg with 'the tightest of spaces' Subtle and a bit cheeky with great direction.

@owenjevans with 'life limitates art' Splendid line.

@aga_nat with 'look again' Nice visual representation of the brief.

@acarrollsmith with 'throw one end away' Nice thought.

@thebigcreative with 'just another egg' Very different way of thinking.

Well done to everybody.

One Minute Brief of the Day:
Campaign to support the Craig Sellers Tribute Fund for the @SeashellTrust

I am devoting this brief to the great man, Craig Sellers, who was my football coach at my first ever football team Woodley Albion J.F.C. (I am stood next to Craig in the photo above)

He played a key part in me improving as a footballer at a young age which ended up with me playing for Manchester City along with his son Tom who I have been friends with for many years. I have remained in touch with Craig for all of these years and he has always been someone I could speak to so the news was a shock that upset me and I am sorry for Sue and the family's loss.

As today's brief is one that is very close to my heart, I'd really appreciate you all getting involved for such a great cause.

Brief: Campaign to support the Craig Sellers Tribute Fund for the @SeashellTrust

Remember to include @SeashellTrust @t_sells8 and @oneminutebriefs in your tweeted entries. You can find more info about Seashell Trust here: http://www.seashelltrust.org.uk


Prizes: I'll be giving away an OMB T-shirt and an #OMBLIVE2 ticket to the winning idea.


Any donations would be brilliant using #OMB

Info about the campaign below:

Craig Sellers

Born: 03/05/1964 - Passed away: 12/01/2015

Craig was a true inspiration to many people and a kind and loving man. He was the best daddy and role model to four fantastic children. He was Sues best friend and soul mate. Craigs zest for life will continue to live in all of them.

We have set up this tribute fund in his memory and as a legacy of that inspirational zest for life. Any money donated in Craigs memory will go directly to the tribute fund set up at Seashell Trust. This fund will be used to run inclusive sports projects and activities for children with very complex needs.

Seashell cares for children with complex physical, medical and learning disabilities and ensure these children fulfil their potential. Like Craig they are passionate about sport and its power to give every child the chance to take part in something. They enable 100s of children to enjoy inclusive sport. Our tribute fund will mean more children can take part in camps and clubs through the year. We know Craig would be so proud to have made this possible and are proud that this will be his legacy

Today's brief is an exciting collaboration on a brief and theme that relates strongly to what One Minute Briefs is all about. Using constraints and limitations in a positive way. This is something we know you all have experience of so we're looking forward to seeing the ideas you come up with to make 'A Beautiful Constraint' famous with great prizes to be won!

Brief: Advertise 'A Beautiful Constraint' - The new book from @eatbigfish

Prizes: 
- Full pack of @eatbigfish books as seen in the picture above.

- A special secret surprise to impress your friends 

Twitter handles to include in your tweeted entries are @eatbigfish @eatbigfishLDN @ABConstraint with the hashtag #ABConstraint

Info about the brief from eatbigfish below:

A very wise man once said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” But in a world increasingly defined by constraints we wondered why nobody had ever written down the recipe? 

Creatives know the benefit of a tight brief, but is that resourcefulness something anyone can learn or a special skill of the chosen few? Over three years we spoke to everyone from social psychologists to racecar engineers to discover the secret ingredients that turn constraints into a positive force.

A Beautiful Constraint by Adam Morgan & Mark Barden is a practical handbook about everyday inventiveness, designed for the constrained times in which we live. Full of stories of ingenuity and inventiveness we turn those lessons into tools that help you turn your apparent constraints into things of beauty.

'A Beautiful Constraint' goes on sale this week, in honour of the launch we have collaborated with One Minute Briefs to help us make this book famous using the ultimate constraint - just one minute.

As usual, a fantastic response to what ended up being a great brief with some very clever and witty ideas on show. Lots of great winners as a result. See below:

OMB TIP: Remember to put your Twitter handle in the corner of your ads. That way you'll get the recognition if it is shared online and it is easier to see who did what to give credit for winners.

@jay_pegg with 'Barney Rubble' Great brand ambassador and a fun ad.

@lukejohnston87 with a brilliant visual using Miley Cyrus and the OMB logo. Something I never thought I'd ever see!!

@acarrollsmith with a great visual representation and nice use of copy.

@dissential with 'Knock down prices' Simple and effective. Works well.

@owenjevans with a lovely hybrid visual using a clock and wrecking ball.

@little_scamp85 with 'We'll smash your back doors in' Crude as you like but it catches the eye and is true. People can relate to it. So it's a great advert. Make it happen. Make it run.

@harryhandyside with 'Skip Ad' Would be great to see this being made. I have actually made a similar ad on YouTube before for a shredder company.

Well done all!

About One Minute Briefs:

One Minute Briefs utilises Twitter as our main platform to share fantastic and fun ideas that are produced from constant engagement and user generated content. This is created and shared virally by followers from the creative industry and us.

This way of thinking can benefit the creative industry whilst also being great fun as it forces you to rely on your creative instinct. The beauty of One Minute Briefs is that the ideas that come out of them can be really really shit or really really good. But you’ve only spent one minute on it so it’s all good whatever happens. We often find that the first idea you have is the best.

One Minute Briefs has grown at an amazing rate on Twitter and become hugely interactive with thousands of views, posts and shares. Not only is it hugely viral but also the perfect platform to submit and receive feedback on quick ideas, while also pushing ideas in front of brands and making a difference across the world for good causes and topical issues. It has also become a brilliant educational tool for young creatives and a way for more senior creatives to increase confidence in their ideas.

We have performed talks and workshops at various events such as The Art of New Business at LBi London, Freshtival, D&AD and Manchester Talent Day. Most recently we spoke at the BBC Promax UK event on the same card as Sir John Hegarty and legendary director Tony Kaye. Not only have we been given these incredible opportunities, but also as a result of them we’ve gained exposure across the world as well as being featured in The Drum, New York Times and Buzzfeed. OMB recently won 5 Fresh Awards, got to the final 30 out of 1000 businesses in the Pitch UK, were finalists in the Great British Entrepreneur awards and have just been chosen by Theo Paphitis as one of his #SBS business winners. This all helps to build content that feeds back into creating an engaging and interactive Twitter feed. Having a physical and a social online presence makes us very approachable and we have met a lot of our followers as a result, hosted events and made a lot of real friends from it. We feel that this is an important part in it being a social network for like minded creatives.
