Short rationale (optional): We’ve collaborated with celebrated poet Dr. John Cooper Clarke, who has penned the start of a new poem reflecting the nation’s love affair with the coast. The activity aims to encourage the nation to share their passions for these beautiful places and raise awareness of the care needed to manage them.
The poem is part of the 50th Anniversary celebration of the National Trust’s Neptune Coastline Campaign, one of the longest running environmental campaigns in western Europe that has enabled the charity to care for 775 miles of coast in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, equating to over 10 per cent of the UK’s coastline.
This summer the conservation charity is asking people to help complete the poem by submitting contributions that sum up their love for the coast. These contributions will help inspire Dr. Clarke to create the final verses of the poem, to be unveiled in autumn. The contributions can take the form of words, pictures, social media posts or even sounds by using #lovethecoast.

Short rationale: Golf’s most prestigious championship, The Open, has undergone an extensive brand development exercise across all media.
Designwerk, working with strategic consultants Teamup, created the new identity, which portrays the championship in a contemporary, progressive, and dynamic manner, helping to build a consistent image around the world.
The brand platform includes a new identity, brand guidelines and graphic language, special photography, key visuals, new custom typeface, event graphics, print and marketing collateral, online communications, CGI version of the trophy, plus a special digital brand book App with animations and movies.
The new identity will roll out in the run up to The 144TH Open, which begins on the 16th July at St Andrews, the home of golf.

Editor: Sam Rice Edwards at Assembly Rooms
Sound Engineer: Nick at Smoke & Mirrors
Post: Barney at Big Buoy
Grade: The Mill
Music Publisher: Leyland Music
Published: July 2015
Short Rationale: The Red Brick Road has worked with Experian to develop the current ‘Use It’ campaign strategy to help demystify the credit reference industry, bringing to life the many times in life when your credit report and score will play a role in helping you achieve your financial goals. ‘Use It For More’ seeds the idea that investigating your credit report may prove more useful than you might imagine. The campaign highlights the support that customers can get in understanding and managing their credit report and how it can be improved so they can begin to really see the benefits of this in day to day life.
The new integrated campaign, “Chopsticks” was written by Ben Markey and art directed by Baz Williamson. It will feature on TV, VOD, radio, digital, CRM and social media.
The TV ad was directed by Tony Barry through Biscuit Filmworks and uses the analogy of a humble set of chopsticks being used in a myriad of different uses beyond the one it was designed for; to eat with. The individual vignettes show the multitude of uses your Experian Credit Report has and how improving it can give you not only access to better deals on credit but much more.
Aesop: Joe Delucci’s 'Packaging'
Brand: Joe Delucci’s
Title(s): Packaging
Agency: Aesop
Agency website: http://aesopagency.com/
Designer: Danii Kedik
Photographer: Holiday Kedik
Additional Credits: Account Director: Fiona Chapman
Published: July 2015
Short Rationale: Aesop Agency, the brand storytellers, has created fresh, premium packaging for Joe Delucci’s - the Italian gelato brand.
Using clear tubs that promote the product to ‘hero’ status whilst enabling it to be an integral part of the design - the new pared back packaging has a number of design cues that communicate the look and feel of an authentic Italian gelateria.
Available in three flavour variants -‐ Coconut, Berries & Cream and Pistachio - the unique character of each flavour is communicated through bespoke copy, individual typefaces and imagery.
The brand name - depicted as a label ‘stuck’ into the gelato - is a consistent architectural device that helps present the three individual flavours as one coherent brand.
Aesop also helped Joe Delucci’s define their story and tone of voice. Playful on-pack copy rubs shoulders with cute, cheeky discoverables (check out the ‘hidden’ scooter image and the ‘cure for brain freeze’ copy) that help to define and communicate the unique personality of Joe Delucci’s gelato.

Published: July 2015
Short Rationale: Camelot has revealed details of the third celeb to feature in its new Lotto campaign, which features a number of high-profile celebrities in a series of tongue-in-cheek mini-films, presenting outlandish dream projects they are hoping to finance with a big Lotto win.
The campaign initially launched with Piers Morgan in early July, followed by an ad starring Katie Price, which hit TV screens last Sunday. And today, Laurence Llewelyn Bowen is revealed to be the third mystery celebrity that Lotto is asking the nation to help ensure DOESN’T win big.
Each ad plays humorously on the individual celeb’s public persona, and sees them very earnestly talking about themselves and their dreams for when they win Lotto. For Piers, it’s building a legacy for the nation with Piers’ Pier, while Katie has a vision for a 24 hour TV station where she stars in every show. Laurence wants to apply his visionary interior design skills to Stone Henge, something he sees as a ‘blot’ on the British landscape. It is clear that these dreams are really best kept as just that – dreams – and that while anyone can win with Lotto, please don’t let it be them! #Pleasenotthem unites the campaign.

Brand: Whitefoord Wealth Management
Title(s): Corporate Identity
Agency: Pemberton & Whitefoord (P&W) International Design Consultants, London, England
Agency Website: http://www.p-and-w.com
Creative Director: Adrian Whitefoord
Art Director: Adrian Whitefoord
Short rationale: Co-Founding Partner of P&W, Adrian Whitefoord, is brother to Vince, Whitefoord LLP’s Partner & Chief Executive Officer. Whitefoord LLP aim to provide a clear, personal and professional service to all its clients, irrespective of their financial position.
Adrian commented on the design; “Our brief was to generate an identity for Whitefoord LLP that exemplified it as forward thinking, client lead and orientated around conserving and propagating wealth. The company offers a bespoke and highly personal service to their clients and P&W felt the design solution should represent unity, quality and dependability through the clean design, colour and font choices and the simple interlinking of the O’s”, signifying a unity between client and consultant.
The identity created by P&W is highly considered and contemporary. Its flexibility allows the new logo to work within a spectrum of media. P&W has applied the reinvigorated logo to: interior signage, app artwork, corporate brochures, business cards, promotional material and stationery.
Much deliberation was put into every material, paper, varnish and finish in order to ensure Whitefoord LLP’s customers their experience is of an exceptionally high standard.
Public: Bensons for Beds 'Be Comfortable'
Brand: Bensons for Beds
Title(s): Be Comfortable
Agency: Public, Doncaster, UK
Agency website: http://www.openatpublic.com
Creative Director: Darren Price
Additional Credits: Production Company: The Gate Films
Director: Jackie Oudney
Producer: Rhiannon Lewis
Music Supervisor: Nisha Lakhani, Storyboard Music
Post Production: Edit 19 with music done by Retroland Media
Licensed Music: Lucky – Kat Edmonson
Published: July 2015
Short Rationale: Bensons for Beds, the UK’s largest bed retailer, launched their brand new advertising campaign with a 60 second advert during BAFTA award-winning prime time show, Long Lost Family in July.
The campaign, running across linear TV, VOD, cinema, print, online, outdoor and digital channels, illustrates the multiple needs a bed satisfies - from breakfast in bed, to reading a good book at night alongside more humorous situations including a child squeezing in bed between parents in the middleof the night and just feeling comfortable, relaxed and at ease.
Emotional connection is key to the campaign, with the soundtrack enhancing the feeling of recognition and comfort in familiar scenarios.
Pemberton & Whitefoord: George Square Services LLP 'Corporate Identity'
Brand: George Square Services LLP (GSS)
Title(s): Corporate Identity
Agency: Pemberton & Whitefoord (P&W) International Design Consultants, London, England
Agency website: http://www.p-and-w.com
Creative Director: Adrian Whitefoord
Art Director: Adrian Whitefoord
Short rationale: George Square Services LLP (GSS) provides a financial ‘concierge’ service to “busy individuals who require assistance with their day-to-day financial affairs”. GSS clients are diverse and include sporting individuals with hectic schedules. GSS is owned by WLLP and the two teams work closely together.
P&W’S logo and identity design for GSS is decidedly modern but entirely dissimilar to the ‘look’ P&W crafted for WLLP. The colour pallet is black, white and contrasting electric green. The ‘G’ logo is in this vibrant shade and is energetic and rudimentary, juxtaposing WLLP’s simplistic, corporate form.
An additional attention to detail is the font usage on; business cards, stationery, corporate brochures and apps, intended to resemble an LED scoreboard, a subtle nod towards the predominantly sports-orientated clientele.
