One Minute Brief of the Day: 
Create posters to help raise awareness of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and give a #TreatForTyler who last week rang the bell after his tough battle and received the news he was cancer-free.



To celebrate this great news we want to raise money on a treat for Tyler. Please donate here https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/taylor-jacques? #Cancerfree #treatfortyler #NHS
We are actually 99% towards our target already but let's smash through that and really give him a holiday to remember!!!

10 year old Tyler was diagnosed with Cancer called Hodgkins Lymphoma. It is a type of cancer that effects your lymph nodes which are cells that fight infections and disease, and they become bigger when they are fighting infection.

He went though a period of bullying at school because he had lost his hair and eyebrows, and his mum Tracy had to take him out of school because of the bullying.
He started his chemo this summer of 2018. A sweet girl called Taylor, who is a family friend has decided to set up this JustGiving page for Tyler to raise money for him to go on holiday, or a trip to a destination after he finished his chemotherapy treatment in 4 months time.

Tyler has rarely ever been on holiday so for him this would be such a big and wonderful treat. So it would mean a lot to not only him but his family as well if anyone could make some kind of donation, every little penny counts. Please take a minute out of your day to do this, it would mean the world.

*Please try to include the link of the donation page on all submissions* https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/taylor-jacques?utm_id=107&utm_term=drzkP2dAx

"Advertising is dead."

What a load of rubbish!!!

Today we're collaborating on a brief with our friends at @TheDrum to help rebuild the pride Creatives and professionals have of talking about working in the advertising industry and prove that it is an industry to respect rather than shy away from. So many advertising agencies' 'About Us' pages start with "We're not an advertising agency..." but that's exactly what they are. We don't have to change the world...sometimes we just need to sell washing powder!

With that in mind - we want you to advertise Advertising!!

Tweet your ideas to @OneMinuteBriefs and @TheDrum with the hashtag #LongLiveAdvertising

PRIZES

Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity (charity number 1170757) set up by Liverpool born stand-up comedian and writer, Jake Mills following his own battle with depression and suicide attempt almost 5 years ago.

The charity aims to normalise and humanise mental health, after all, there is nothing more normal than something everyone in the world has.

Everybody in the world has mental health. Yet the fear of being judged is preventing many people from talking about it. Chasing the Stigma want to help remove that fear and unnecessary stigma, by using first-hand experiences to say ‘I have suffered. I got through it and you can too’. You are never alone.

Chasing the Stigma created the Hub of Hope, a first of its kind, national mental health database which brings together organisations and charities, large and small, who offer mental health advice and support, together in one place.

The Hub of Hope, which is free downloadable app, as well as being online at hubofhope.co.uk uses your devices location to find mental health support near you, wherever you are in the country – think of it as the Just Eat of the mental health world.

It is a first of its kind database, making help as easy as possible to find and reaffirming the message, ‘you are never alone’.

Good luck, we hope you can help us spread a very important message across the world with today's brief.

Thank you.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to inspire the next generation of construction workers to address the skills shortage and make the sector more diverse for #ConstructionCareersWeek

One Minute Brief of the Day: 
Create posters to inspire the next generation of construction workers to address the skills shortage and make the sector more diverse for #ConstructionCareersWeek

Today we've got a great brief to help address an important cause for #ConstructionCareersWeek along with great prizes. Looking forward to seeing how the OMBLES tackle this one! Remember to tweet @oneminutebriefs and @BESSprogramme with the hashtag. 

Prizes:
- Bottle of champagne to the winner
- Your work featured on the Construction Careers website & press publications.

About:

Construction Careers Week is coming to Manchester, Birmingham and London at the end of September and early October. Organised by Built Environment Skills in Schools, the aim of the initiative is to help reduce the skills shortage by informing and inspiring young people, with the help of leading businesses, so they have a better understanding of their built environment, and the varied careers contained within it.

We want to:

·    - Break down barriers and remove any stereotypes around what a career in construction is like to make the sector more diverse and inclusive

·    - Improve the reputation and image of construction

·    - Show how varied and exciting the careers of the future are – from drone operators to working on projects such as Hyperloop One

The skills shortage in the construction industry is a major issue, with the Chartered Institute of Building reporting the industry needs 157,000 new recruits by 2021 to keep up with demand. There is a real danger that much needed development and construction around the country will grind to a halt if we don’t address the skills shortage.

Three industry events – Inspire Summit: Women in UK Construction, Engineering & Housing, UK Construction Week, and London Build – have teamed up with Construction Careers Week, offering free places to students and apprentices to support the initiative. More businesses are needed to sign up to the scheme to engage with students, schools and colleges.

Today we've got another great brief with our friends at JCB. Looking forward to seeing lots of fun ideas with some great prizes to be won!!!

Remember to tweet your posters to @oneminutebriefs @jcbmachines with the hashtag #NowYouCan

The #NowYouCan hashtag comes from the fact that there are now lots of new things the machine can do due to the fact the arm extends. 'Now I Can load this truck', 'Now I Can reach the other side of the road' etc... 
You can use the images below in your submissions if you wish.

Prizes:
- Scale Model of the JCB Teleskid RRP £80
- JCB Goodie Bag 

About:

Introducing a unique machine with endless possibilities. The new JCB Teleskid is the first skid steer with a telescopic boom, making it the most versatile machine you’ve ever seen. It can reach higher, further and deeper than any other skid steer on the market and can access areas you wouldn’t have thought possible.

UNLIMITED VERSATILITY

The new JCB Teleskid is the only skid steer with a vertical reach of over four metres and a forward reach of over two metres, allowing it to go places and do things others can’t. Now for the first time you can easily and quickly load lorries without a ramp and load over kerbs and other obstructions with a skid steer loader. Another first means you can now reach approximately 1 metre below the ground, enabling you to rip out trees and roots.


At full extension, the JCB Teleskid has a rated operating capacity of 611kg; this enables heavy items to be placed without damaging the ground. Additionally, a standard hydraulic flow rate of 90 l/pm allows you to operate attachments when fully extended whilst 125lpm high flow couplers allow safe operation of high flow attachments when the boom is fully retracted. An SAE/ISO standard quick hitch lets you utilise any skid steer attachment.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to encourage people to have a conversation about #OrganDonation with their families. 
Brief ran for @NHSOrganDonor #OrganDonationWeek #WordsSaveLives

Remember to mention @OneMinuteBriefs and @NHSOrganDonor with the hashtags #OrganDonationWeek and #WordsSaveLives in your tweets.

About:

This week is Organ Donation Week, which is all about raising awareness of the life-saving power of organ donation and encouraging families to discuss the topic.

There’s lots of things you wouldn’t tell your family; some topics are definitely off limits for dinner table chat! Organ donation shouldn’t be one of them. It isn’t always easy, and can be difficult to bring up, but a few words now could save someone’s life one day. In fact, one organ donor can save or transform up to 9 lives.

If families know their loved one wanted to be an organ donor, they are much more likely to say ‘yes’ to donation going ahead. Fewer than half of families agree to donation if they are unaware of their loved one’s decision. Over 90% agree when the decision to be an organ donor is known.

The theme of the week is ‘Words Save Lives’. Eight in ten people would consider donating some or all of their organs. But only a third of adults in England have told their partner or close family.

Can you inspire more families to have that all-important chat about organ donation?

Campaign to #BanTheBed with @MelanomaUK #UKSunbedBan





Today we have another great brief for a good cause with our friends at leading skin cancer charity, Melanoma UK who want to follow the lead of Australia and ban the sunbed. Looking forward to see some amazing ideas coming through!!

Remember to tweet @OneMinuteBriefs & @MelanomaUK with the hashtag #BanTheBed. Don't forget to sign the sunbed ban petition too at https://goo.gl/sGk4eG

Prize for the winner: £100 Amazon vouchers!!!

About:
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, kills 6 people every day.

It has long been considered that use of sunbeds can be a contributory factor in developing melanoma. The NHS, Cancer Research and Macmillan, all give the same advice - ‘do not use sunbeds’.

The World Health Organisation reports that it is estimated that sunbed use is responsible for over 450,000 skin cancer cases and more than 10,000 melanomas in the United States, Europe and Australia.

If melanoma spreads through the body, it is notoriously difficult to treat, and the treatments used are expensive.

Treatment of these cancers costs the NHS over £400m every year.

We want to follow the lead of Australia and ban the sunbed!!

About:
Epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain. When someone has epilepsy, it means they have a tendency to have epileptic seizures which come in many diffrent forms, and they’re not all from the classic go to epilepsy = flashing lights. Anyone can have a one-off seizure, but this doesn’t always mean they have epilepsy. But for many people epilepsy is a life-long condition.

Being diagnosed with epilepsy is life changing and can be scary for young people and children. Emmett, is the friendly purple monster that is putting a stop to this. He is building a environment which helps young people and children learn about epilepsy and what to do if they or someone they know has a seizure or absence. Seizures do not have to be scary. The aim is to get children and young people to recognise Emmett as their friend, there are soon to be children’s books which will be given out free at hospitals around the UK.

One Minute Brief of the Day:
Campaign to encourage the public to #LoveYourBrownLawn with @AnglianWater 



Today we've got a fun brief with a very important message as well as a great prize to be won! Can't wait to see what the OMBLES come up with for this one!

Remember to tweet @oneminutebriefs and @anglianwater with the hashtag #LoveYourBrownLawn

Prize: £100 for the winner!!! 

We've had a little bit of rain over the weekend but we've had one of the hottest, driest summers in recent memory and lawns everywhere have been going brown. But contrary to what many proud lawn owners believe, a brown lawn isn’t dying, the roots underneath are still alive and healthy. When it’s hot and dry grass goes dormant to preserve nutrients and as soon as it rains it will quickly bounce back to green. So we’re asking people to put away the sprinkler and the hosepipe and learn to love their brown lawn! Saving water is vital to ensure there’s enough water to go around for people and the environment – and it’s one less garden job to do in the summer!

November 11, 2018, marks the centenary of the end of World War One, a war that brought devastation and destruction never before seen. In remembrance and to mark the occasion, 26 Characters is creating a special collection of literature: The #Armistice100Days book.

Prize:

Remember to tweet @OneMinuteBriefs & @CityToSea_ with the hashtag #MenstrualCups. You can also use the hashtags #PlasticFreePeriods #RiseoftheReusables

About:

Menstrual cups are a way to have zero waste periods, championed by brands like Rubycup, Divacup and Mooncup.

In the UK about 700,000 panty liners, 2.5 million tampons and 1.4 million pads are flushed down the toilet every day - many of which block our sewer systems and escape into our rivers and seas. Flushed plastics make up around 8% of beach litter in the UK, and that figure just keeps on climbing. Research indicates that if big changes aren’t made in the near future the weight of plastic in the sea will outweigh that of fish by the year 2050.

We want to change the narrative around reusable period products and periods in general, and see women switching from plastic disposable products to reusable ones that are better for the ocean, for our wallets & for our bodies.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Advertise @blindwoodturner and how you can't give up even when faced with a life changing disability. #keeponturning

Today we are collaborating with a blind woodturner who wants to inspire and motivate people to keep going, showing them that anything is possible.

Brief:

Advertise the Blind Woodturner and how you can keep going even when faced with a life changing event.

Please tweet all entries to @blindwoodturner and @OneMinuteBriefs and please include the hashtag #keeponturning

Please refer to the Chris as the Blind Woodturner in all communication.

Prizes:

Winner:

- Chris to speak at your event/give an inspirational talk at your company

- Shared and promoted on all social Networks

- A custom made woodturned item.

2 Runner Ups:

- A keep on turning t-shirt

Background:

Chris Fisher, also known as the Blind Wood Turner started out in life as a regular guy, working in auto body repair at BMW, until one day, completely out of the blue, a rare virus (Toxoplasmosis) reared its ugly head and caused him to lose his sight in a matter of weeks.

This was completely life altering and a massive change to come to terms with. In many respects, dealing with becoming blind was like starting anew, having to learn and teach himself how to do the basics all over again, as well as dealing with the onslaught of anxiety, hallucinations and muscle spasms that often accompany the loss of sight.

Nevertheless, Chris refused to give up and, after four years decided to take up woodturning so that he could make myself a vampire stake – he's a huge horror film fan!

While every day is still a challenge, these challenges are what fuel his mission – to exceed the expectations of what others perceive disabled people are able to accomplish, and to prove to himself and the world that having a disability isn’t the end, it’s just a new beginning.

Today, Chris travels around the country giving public woodturning demonstrations, speaking about his experiences and sharing his story on his YouTube channel in an effort to inspire, motivate and activate people no matter what their circumstances, to achieve their full potential.

Chris' message is simple – whenever you feel like you want to give up, just keep on turning.

About the campaign:

NHS STAFF WHO BEAT BIEBER ARE BACK WITH BAND AID NHS 

Dr Katie Rogerson, 33, and fellow NHS worker Joe Blunden, 34, have joined NHS colleagues to create a Band Aid-style single to celebrate the 70th birthday of the NHS, and they hope to top the charts following the track’s release today. The brilliant music video to accompany the track was created by The Gate Films.

Against all the odds, they have pulled together an all-star cast for the song, including Seal, Beverley Knight, Guy Garvey, Alexandra Burke and UB40. Altogether, the line-up have close to 150 top ten hits between then, and more than 30 number ones. It also features the NHS Choir of doctors and nurses that got to top spot in 2015.

In addition, they have attracted legendary producer Timbaland, who is working with Grammy nominated Brit Jon Cohen to deliver what is sure to be a memorable rendition of the Beatles classic With A Little Help From My Friends. This special NHS version is also supported by Sir Paul McCartney, after the pair wrote him a heartfelt letter.

Dr Katie said of the feat: “Joe and I wanted to think of a way to include everyone who is touched by the NHS in a huge celebration. What better way than a Band Aid-style song and with a national singalong. This is our way to nod to the past seven decades of love, care and the best of British, standing hand in hand with 1.3 million fantastic staff to say ‘happy birthday NHS’.”

Joe added: “I work with NHS staff all over the country and see how hard they work to deliver care for patients. We want this track and singalong to show them just how appreciated they are, and we’re delighted that so many big stars have taken the time to contribute. We really hope everyone goes out and buys it today, and that we have a huge number one to celebrate our country’s greatest institution.”

All proceeds from the single will go to NHS Charities Together, a group of more than 100 NHS charities that provide invaluable funds to improve the experience of patients.


Let's do this and help get the NHS to Number 1...again!!!

This special NHS version is also being supported by Sir Paul McCartney, after the pair wrote him a heartfelt letter.

As if all that is not enough, Katie, Joe and the NHS Choir will also feature in a prime-time ITV documentary. Shown tomorrow evening, the show will capture their journey to create the single, and feature a nationwide singalong of the song, which they hope will break a world record.

Looking forward to show what we can do on this brief. Please encourage everyone you know to get involved too. The more the merrier.
