Can Film Festival


May 25th, 2010 by Dom

Every_Can_Counts‘Bring your empties and take your seat!’ – what could be simpler? As part of ‘Go Green Week’ earlier this year, our client Every Can Counts launched the ‘Can Film Festival’ in partnership with the NUS and People & Planet aimed at encouraging students to recycle their drinks cans in exchange for free film screenings.

Partnering with the NUS meant that special screenings were held at universities across the UK. Two or more empties were all that was needed to gain free entry.

We’ve been working with Every Can Counts now for almost two years and having created the original brand identity, you can imagine how chuffed we were to direct the ad campaign for the Can Film Festival working alongside our ‘producer’ client! In addition, we designed a suite of promotional collateral for festival organisers, all of which was made available to download via the Every Can Counts website.

Okay so we may not be in line for a Palme d’Or but Beer Hunter, Magnificent 7-Up, Lord of the Ring Pulls anyone?

MyParasol interactive demo goes live


May 6th, 2010 by Michael

We rather like this stylish interactive demo we have produced to explain how Parasol’s contractors should use MyParasol, their online portal. The whole demo has been carefully crafted by the Studio North digital team with brand guidelines firmly in mind. Everything from the actual script  to the voiceover and animations have been created with an absolute respect for the brand we created last year.

Election 2010, policy or personality?


May 4th, 2010 by kerry

Studio North account director Kerry Dennison on an election campaign still hanging on for a creative spark.

Well… five years has come all too quickly and it’s election time again. The polls are hinting at a hung parliament so the need for political parties to connect with the electorate has never been as important.

The UK population is bombarded with creative adverts and communications every day. The consumer, of which we all are for political parties, is now a pretty sophisticated beast so Planet Westminster needs to recognise this at a grass roots level.

You drive around any constituency in the North West and you see a wave of red, blue and orange placards declaring an allegiance but the real influence comes from the high profile billboard sites, posters and online ads that are designed to communicate the actual policies.
