Mediaburst just launched their brand spanking new website and if we do say so ourselves, it’s a corker. Along with a talented team including web developer Phil Thompson, illustrator Stanley Chow, copywriter Andy White and the Mediaburst team, we helped craft the branding and a website design which showcases their range of mobile services and products in a fun and informative way.
Mediaburst Managing Director, Gary Bury said:
“Creativity in abundance. Stiff Rowlands listened, created and delivered. Not only that but genuinely decent guys to work with. Would recommend them every time.”
As huge coffee lovers there were big smiles when Tank Coffee asked us for some pointers on their branding. Inspired by the movie Black Gold, the collective “who care as much about the farmers, as they do about the flavour” jumped on a plane to Ethiopia and Kenya to meet the coffee bean farmers:
“We wanted to know where our coffee was coming from, who was growing it, how much they were getting, and who else was in the supply chain before it got to us.”
“We wanted to see with our own eyes what each farmer was really getting for their hard work and harvest. To make sure our coffee was as fresh as can be, we also wanted to roast the coffee ourselves.”
Our good friend Jez Clark is part of the collective and has created some wonderful copy and a great tone of voice. Reading about the farmer who grows the bean, its journey and the name of the roaster (Garth), makes buying coffee interesting and rewarding. The website is still in its infancy but don’t let that stop you ordering. We’re currently buzzing on the Ethiopian Sidamo Grade 2. Mmmmmm.
Having recently designed a schedule advert template for MUTV its great to start seeing it in action. Above are just two recent adverts we’ve produced, highlighting key programmes throughout December. One to watch will be the Big United Quiz: a competition between the coaches and players with Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves and Michael Carrick.
NME Radio teamed up with HP for a University tour featuring top acts and a truck full of HP goodies. We created the tour’s co-branded logo, a hub, traffic driver ads and a homepage takeover.
Our heartfelt congratulations to Speech Debelle on her Mercury Prize win this week. Speech features as one of the latest acts to perform on our pal David Tree’s excellent Watch Listen Tell series. See if you can spot the Stiff Rowlands pegboard title!
We recently completed the branding and website for new, full-service agency Squad.
Robert Gray, the Director of Squad had these kind words to say:
“Stiff Rowlands are one of those rare breeds of agency who manage to be enjoyable to work with, whilst also being responsive and professional. Most importantly of all, they also turn out great creative work.”
The Glasshouse London asked us to create the event identity for Show Me The Money: an evening of insightful conversation about smart investment and exit strategies for today’s entreprener with BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones, Michael Birch (Bebo), Andreas Lazar (Allen & Co.) and Nic Brisbourne (DFJ Esprit) at London’s Savoy Place.

We’re very happy to be part of Unconvention 2009, having produced one of ten posters for the music conference. It’s a northern event where you’ll get the chance to rub shoulders with legends like Peter Hook and listen to bands like I Am Kloot. More importantly, it’s a chance to get together and share ideas about the future of independent music whilst eating a pie. The posters will also be featured in an exhibition at Urbis.
The Samsung NME Radar Tour 2009 showcases the best new music with a string of dates across the UK, featuring La Roux, Heartbreak, Magistrates and The Chapman Family. We created an online advertorial to promote the tour and Samsung’s Bang & Olufsen-powered “Beat Edition” phone.
