  • Don't Be A Tosser, Bin Your Butts.

    Cigarette butt litter is a serious problem in Victorria. And with legislation forcing smokers out of licensed premises and onto the street about to take effect, the problem had the potential to get much worse. A part of Sustainability Victoria's "Don't Be A Tosser, Bin Your Butts" campaign, these temporary ambient pieces were created in the weeks leading up to the smoking ban on July 1, using cigarette butts gathered from the streets witin a 1km radius of Melbourne's CBD.

    Drambuie "Return of the Prince"

    Their brief was to get young affluent males and to try Drambuie in a new serving suggestion - Drambuie & Soda. The problem was, even though everyone has heard of Drambuie, they don’t know what it is or how you drink it. Bar staff included. Also, the bars they wanted to get people to drink it in don’t really allow promotions. And now for some history. The recipe for Drambuie was handed down by Scottish Prince, Charles Stuart, to a loyal subject after his defeat on the battlefield by the British in 1745 (if he’d won, he’d have been King of Great Britain!). True story. Their idea was to bring Charles Stuart back - a direct descendant of the original Scottish prince, surrounded with the trappings of a very wealthy playboy. His own blog established a globetrotting history. Charles visited bars as a Scottish bloke on holiday. He’d get chatting with barmen, ordering a Drambuie & Soda and showing them how to mix one. A few days later Charles would turn up with his entourage - including a chauffered $300K Audi and security. This time he’d get chatting with the locals and maybe shout them a drink - a Drambui & Soda. Why Drambuie? He might make a reference to some family history. Before leaving, Charles would give his new-found friends his calling card, and invite them to a party he was throwing whilst in town. Charles toured bars in Sydney and Melbourne and hosted parties in both cities for over 500 people. The parties made the social pages and Charles popped up on various blogs etc. Charles also introduced his new found friends to the “Drambuie Clan”. And then he disappeared. Charles hasn’t been seen for months, but still the Drambuie is flowing - through invitations to pop-up parties and events - most with a Scottish theme.

    Pencil.

    Previous campaigns had failed to make an impact, so they decided to really target their communications and use an idea that could not be ignored. The Conservatory excels in the creativity of their flower arrangements. They can develop entire themes and create all sorts of objects out of flowers. So Personal chose to target businesses that place a very high value on creativity. And what businesses in London could be more creative than those that excelled in one of the world's toughest creative competitions, the D&AD? Within a few days of the awards they sent the winners flowers with a congratulatory note. They went one step further than simply sending a bouquet (which would have been nice in itself). To showcase The Conservatory's skills in the best way possible, they sent them a D&AD pencil like the one they had won - only this one was made out of flowers. The accompanying letter asked the prospects whether their office reception really lived up to their high creative standards. It went on to explain how they could also tie arrangements into their creative presentations and pitches.

    Sony Playstation "God of War II"

    Sony Playstation introduces God of War II, an action-adventure game that focus heavily on combat and puzzle-solving. The story is based on Greek mythology. Kratos, the protagonist, is a destructive, arnoral, self-centred, and spitful chararcter, driven constantly by his rage and pride. He seeks revenge on the gods for deceiving him and the deaths of his family. They introduces the Pandora's Box, a mythical object salvaged from the sea. A spell has been cast over the box to keep all evils of mankind and the fury of Kratos from ever seeing the light of day. To discover the utmost secret, the destined one must pay close attention to the clues that are left behind the gods. The only way to open the box is to blind the Cyclops. Penetrate the eye-shaped hole to pull the top off. Strangely enough, there is nothing inside apart from a scroll that promises a godly gift for those who pray to Poseidon, the god who quards his secrets with water. Wet the scroll and the second hint, look to the gods and you will find your treasure buried under mount Olympus, reveals itself. Remove the faux bottem decorated with Mount Olympus to find the demo CD of God of War II.
