Goodbye!

Dear all,

Stiff Rowlands is closing its doors with immediate effect. Sniff! Sniff!

We founded Stiff Rowlands in late 2007 with the desire to create an independent creative agency that produces award winning work for great brands. Job done.

We are incredibly proud of our achievements but now feel the time is right for a change. We have decided to start the next chapter and pursue other exciting creative opportunities that satisfy our individual ambitions.

Just to clarify:
•    We haven’t gone bust
•    We haven’t fallen out
•    We are not going to prison or rehab

Over the past four years, we have had the pleasure of working with some very special clients:
Baxters, Clash Music, The Deck, Democracy PRThe Drum, Greenwich Summer Sessions, i-movo, JuvelaLover’s Lounge, Manchester International Festival, Manchester United TV, Mediaburst, MeoMed, NME, People Marketing, Planning Express, Primary Diagnostics, Red C Marketing, Reverse Delta, Right Guard, The Rolling Stones, Schluter, Squad, Studio Caparo, Tank CoffeeUmbro.

We’ve also collaborated with some really talented and decent folk:
Neal Andrews, Alison Arthington, Dave Bancroft, Liz BeilinskaOlivia Bunting, Peter Byrne, Adam Cadwell, Caty Cartwright, Stanley Chow, Jez Clark, Un-Convention, Andrew Disley, Marcus Duffy, Martin Geraghty, Rob Gray, Richard Hague, Jason Hasford, Dave HaygarthPatricia Heaney, Simon Humber, Barney IbbotsonJenna Jenson, Scott Kershaw, Jonny Kidd, Chris LeahHannah LebonFraser McIntosh, Paul Moffat, Ann Mulqueeney, Jen O’Grady, Jane RajeckMaxine Riley, Anmol SekhriPhil ThompsonSue Walton, Simon Wheatley, Andy White, Joe Wood.

A special mention to our awesome Group Account Director Lyndon Roper for his relentless energy, creativity, sense of humour and dub music over the past year.

We are eternally grateful for the unwavering support of our families and friends without whom we probably would have lost our minds.

Thanks to everyone who joined us on our journey so far, it’s been a blast.

Simon & James

Rolling Stones Archive: Microsite

Around a month ago we got a call from The Rolling Stones. They needed a website to promote the digital release of their legendary “Brussels Affair” bootleg from the 1973 European Tour. Our solution was a microsite that incorporates audio, video, interviews and a host of amazing photos from Michael Putland, The Daily Mirror and the Stones’ own amazing archive of memorabilia.

With the bootleg echoing throughout the office, we worked closely with expert web developer Phil Thompson and immersed ourselves in the wealth of iconic, inspirational, archive material. We even dusted off our spraycans to create the site identity. The current office favourite is “Jumping Jack Flash”. What’s yours?

The Big Bus Challenge 2011

This summer, CBS Outdoor and Campaign challenged the creative community to create exceptional ideas for regional and national bus advertising. We came up with the simple, impactful idea of using mirrored Mega Rear, T-Side and Streetliner ads for client We Buy Any Car - turning a traditional, static print format into a dynamic, immersive ad space.
