10,500 views of the MK Deception TV ad, nearly 10,000 for The Club and nearly 9,000 for Deadly Alliance since uploaded a year ago! That's a lot of peeps!

SIMPLE. FUNNY.

TOP OF THE LEAGUE...WE'RE HAVING A LAUGH

Campaign Magazine’s Top 100 Agency School Report is out and we’ve climbed 2 places in the rankings to 27th. 

Not only that, we’re No.1 outside London.

For some strange reason Campaign have chosen only to list DFS as a client so we’ll say it here and now, thank you to ALL our clients including Booths, TDA, Netto, BAFTA, Sega, Morphy Richards and of course DFS.

It goes without saying, bear hugs to all our staff for all the hard work.

27th in the league...we're having a laugh!

UBER ON THE RED CARPET

Refined. Sophisticated. Stylish. All words used to describe our ticket designs for the BAFTA awards. 

Brolly. Rain shield. Shelter. Other words used to describe our ticket designs for the BAFTA awards.

No Ricky, you can’t patent the ticket/inclement weather shield design.

DID YOU KNOW?

And Uber will get through 1,900,756,002 cups of tea in a day.

THIRD DOWN AND TWO IN THE RED ZONE WITH TWO TIMEOUTS LEFT.

Lovely SUPERBOWL ad.

THE MOTHER OF ALL NEWS FLASHES.

They're all like this genius french kid Katy....honest. 

She is recounting a story she has read to her mother.

SECRET SQUIRREL.

Pssssst...

We don't want to jinx this....loose lips sink ships and all that....there's a recession on....so keep this to yourselves....Booths sales are up 4.1% for Christmas, Netto sales are up 4% for Christmas, Booths Burns night sales are up 61% on last year and MK vs DC sales have just broken 1.8 million sales.

Cough!....Uber.....Cough!

Shush your lips. This message will self destruct in 30 seconds.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HELP PACKING?

Following a 3-way pitch, Netto chose us to tackle their first TV campaign in 9 years.

The campaign has been running over Christmas and Netto were so happy with the creative results (and an increase in sales over the crucial festival period) that we've now been asked to extend the campaign into 2009.

Congratulations to our very own team of shelf stackers Greg, Rich and Rob who supermarket swept all before them.

DARLINGS.

After being invited to take part in a 4-way pitch we've been appointed to work with the British Academy of Film and Television Arts on a number of exciting design projects during 2009. The partnership has begun with a new and exciting look for the prestigious 2009 film awards tickets and outdoor advertising campaign.

The only drawback to come from working on this illustrious film event is Ricky the diva designer has now decided he needs his own trailer, complete with 27 bottles of mineral water, fresh Lilly's every day, a smorgasbord of organic health foods and the golden rule that nobody should look Ricky directly in the eye when conversing with him.

Break a leg Ricky.

BRUCE WAYNE: "DON'T DIP YOUR OAR IN THIS SORDID SEA, DICK. YOU MIGHT BE BESMIRCHED."

We've waved our Superhero scrapper out the door and into the Christmas shops. Packaging, press campaigns, in-store POS and outdoor media for MK v DC Universe, you name it, we've fought with it.

Richard Benjamin, Uber MD, said of the project, "Being somewhat of a closet geek myself, it's been an absolute pleasure to be in the company of Superman and friends over the last nine months."

Richard denies the opportunity to be Wonder Woman whenever the mood took him had anything to do with his enthusiasm for the project."

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN US.

We've created Booths first ever TV advert to compliment their recently launched Christmas campaign. Accompanied by a re-recording of the 'Toy Story' theme tune by soul singer Jocelyn Brown the advert depicts a Booths family and follows their Christmas from store to home.

Uber Creative Director Mark said, 'We made a conscious decision to steer away from bashing people over the head with price messages or showing shot upon shot of food. the quality of Booths food and drink is beyond question. If a food retailer has survived Christmas for 161 years they must be pretty damn good at what they do.'

Booths account director Alan Baker said, 'I hope I get a Scalextric this year.'

COME IN RUBBER DUCKY...

We have been appointed by bathroom retail giants Bathstore to assist them with the launch of their new starter range. 

Bathstore appointed Uber after a series of meetings and then challenged us to create an identity for the limited collection. Along side the name and identity, we have have created the newly launched 'My Price' brochure. 

Rumours that we won the project because we looked like we needed a good wash are unfounded.

YEEEHAAAAW!!!

What a great week...A pitch win AND an award.

Congratulations go to Rob 'Do you want scraps with that?' Sandom who won a ‘vinegar’ for his American Red Cross ad at this year's Chip Shop awards.



Go on Rob….Push your chest out like a confident budgie.

BOOTHS GLORIOUS BOOTHS.

A lot of hard work and a late night or two have paid off splendidly.
We’ve won the Booths account in a shoot out against some top opposition.

Sarah Burns, marketing manager at Booths said, "The quality of work from all the agencies was high, however we felt Uber’s approach to the pitch was both innovative and creative.”

Mark Robinson, Creative Director at Uber said, “Get in! Back of the net! Bananarama!”

IT'S A TWISTER AUNT EM !!!!!

You know how it is...

...You come into work and someone says, 'We'd like you to design a website about a cat from outer space who uses a tornado machine to save our planet from an alien prince who controls a black hole which is sucking the living daylights out of the Earth.'

Happens all the time.

Our lovely Ignition client comes up trumps yet again with a brief for the new Nintendo DS game Tornado. Well done Mark and Mark and Al 'Toto' Baker for making this happen.
