Stiff Rowlands

We’ve just teamed up with Dell and NME to help create their Sack the DJ online campaign including branding, microsite and directional advertising. The premise is simple, you create a playlist of your favourite tracks, share it with your friends and try to get as many votes as possible. Each week, the creator of the winning playlist gets a trip to Club NME in New York, Rome, Milan or Berlin to hear it played. Of course we are not eligible for the prize but we couldn’t resist creating our own playlist which you can listen to in all its glory here (Spotify link).

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.

We designed this microsite to mark an exclusive download of The Verve’s Thaw Session for NME.COM.

We designed this microsite for NME to promote a free cover-mount CD and accompanying download for anti racism campaign Love Music Hate Racism.

We designed the beta version of MyNME – a new section of the NME.COM website dedicated to user generated content.

We created branding, print, event and web design for NME.COM’s 10th Birthday celebration and the Sony Walkman NME Breaking Bands competition.

We collaborated with rock photographer Roger Sargent to create this Slipknot feature illustration for NME magazine.
