Perfect Proximity Point

Saw this pic on Richard Branson's blog of a Virgin Media outdoor campaign that ran a year or so ago and thought it was the perfect illustration of how creative and media can work together to deliver a great communication solution.

Tactical proximity messaging ..... to the point, quite literally!

Drum Roll Please...

...introducing PureMedia's #PureAdOfTheWeek!

That's right! We're always keeping our eyes peeled, on the look-out for the most ingeniously expressive work from the comms industry. 

So, every week we'll be highlighting the most prolific use of advertising space, screaming messaging techniques, productions that you simply can not ignore or just down-right smart ads.  

And what better way to start than with a veteran in the field...

Old Spice is bringing back the soap bar! 

With its classic humorously irreverent style fuelled by masculine contemporaneity and the added touch of an incredibly informative jingle, you wouldn't expect anything less than a brilliant new ad for the launch of a brilliant new product. 

Congratulations Old Spice, your creation has been awarded Pure Media's first #PureAdOfTheWeek

HAPPPY NEW YEAR

 

No sooner had 2012 drawn to a lightening end ... 2013 was upon us and we were back to work at Pure Towers in Cowcross Street.

Good news about a new client win at the end of the year, and some exciting new projects we are working on has led to a fast start to the year with a highly motivated team looking forward to another positive and productive year @ Pure Media.

For anyone visiting this blog ...may we take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!!

Time Flies

It's been 2 months since the last blog post ... which is illustrative of 2 things:-

1) Times are really busy at Pure Media ... with lot's of things happening.

2) How quickly everything moves and how easy it is to be totally out of date with social presence.

As we head steadfast to the end of 2012 and the beginnings of a New Year, we will endeavour to post a quick year end summary of events.

Then a Pure Media New Year's resolution will be to blog at least 2 times per month in 2013

Just one small step ....

 

...for Mankind ..... Red Bull ....Felix Baumgartner.... and LEGO

The Red Bull Stratos skydive smashed YouTube records yesterday, as Austrian Daredevil Felix Baumgartne attempted a record breaking stunt from the edge of space to become the first skydiver to reach the speed of sound when he jumped out of a balloon 24 miles above New Mexico, achieving a top speed of 833.9 miles per hour reached eight million concurrent views on YouTube, marking the highest ever concurrent viewing figure on the Google-owned site.
 
According to a Twitter spokeswoman, there were also approximately 3.1m tweets sent, relating to the The Red Bull sponsored stunt.

Shortly after he had completed this amazing feet - a brilliant, timely and tactical promotional video, hit the web - recreating the fantastic achievment using LEGO model figures complete with space vehicles and the flight balloon (1/350th scale) ... giving a birds eye view of the historic event.

The film was promoting (LEGO and) the Austrian Model Makers Fair taking place in Vienna (Austria) later this month.............One small step for mankind ............. and a giant leap in creativity!
