Making sweet music!

It was great fun working with the wonderful charity Steel Pan Trust – they needed a re-vamped logo and some marketing collateral for their upcoming Camden Pop-Up events.

Quick turnaround & small budgets don’t scare the chicken/egg coop from hatching great work!

 

NEW CLIENT: WOODIES

We’ve been commissioned by Woodies, the UK’s CBD experts, to create some social content in the form of mini stop motion videos – we’ve had great fun creating stories to showcase the benefits of CBD, from stressed out mums to coping in the office … will post links when they go live!

Supporting small businesses

When we were asked to help create a brand identity for a local florist – who has also been a part of the c/e team for years – we jumped to the challenge!

It’s always easier when someone has a strong sense of what they want and we just need to help translate it into a final, finessed identity – we had a name, we had a style … and 22 Flowers was born!

 

 

May your Christmas be Merry & Bright!

Wishing all clients and suppliers – old and new – a very Merry Christmas!  It’s been another great year with a host of fabulous projects under our wings, from instore campaigns, websites and videos … here’s hoping for a prosperous, happy and healthy 2020!

 

NEW CLIENT: JUPITER HOTELS

We’re very excited to have ended the year with a new client, Jupiter Hotels – they came to us with a last minute Christmas design job for Mercure Hotels to use across their social channels, it was a quick turnaround job (but we quite like those!) and our first project is done and dusted.  With the promise of more campaign work in the new year we’re really looking forward to hatching more plans with the marketing team in 2020!

 

 

Camera, lights ... Action!

2019 really has seen video boom and so many of our clients are incorporating into their marketing mix – we’re in on the action and have a fantastic digital team in the coop and have produced everything from customer journey’s to explainer videos.

 

Our vimeo channel is the best place to go and take a look at the work that we can currently showcase – we’ve done more but we can’t share due to client confidentially.

 

If you’re thinking ‘video’ then why not give us a call – we’re ready to hatch some content for you!

 

 

Keeping it local!

Our MD’s son started upper school this September and that meant her days as the chair of the primary school PTA were over … but fear not, when the invitation to attend the new school’s PTA AGM arrived in her inbox she couldn’t help herself.  She’d promised friends and family that she wouldn’t volunteer for anything … but surprise, surprise she returned saying that she’d offered herself up to give the PTA a ‘rebrand’ and to help relaunch them to appearl to all the new starters.

A quick logo refresh, an updated FB page and she’s now the offical marketing & comms officer for the PTA, oh and ‘shadow’ chair!

But school’s really do lean on their PTA support as fundraising is such an important thing for them – so we’re all behind saying yes and helping out where we can with any design work!

 

NEW CLIENT: Buddy Burst

We’re bursting with excitement with this new client win.  Buddy Burst and its parent company Sow Easy have engaged chicken/egg to act as a marketing consultant/director.

Sow Easy® have been growing in the Gardening & Seed-based Promotions Market since 1983 and they manufacture a range of innovative sustainable gardening promotional products including promotional plants, branded plant pots and custom-printed seed packets.

Seedsticks™, their most popular product, was born from the 1940’s matchbook idea, each matchstick in the custom-printed matchbook book contains a seed. Just pop in soil to grow a matchstick garden – all manufactured in the UK which makes them quite a unique player in the marketplace.

Buddy Burst® sprouted up in 2016 and has already established itself as a key player in the promotional product space – as a business they are committed to helping brands grow in a sustainable way and every one of their eco-friendly promotional products are sustainably sourced.  Alongside the seed based products they can brand and personalise everything from bamboo travel mugs to biodegradable ponchos.

This is definitely a company to watch and we’re really chuffed to be part of their growth plans.

NEW CLIENT: VRP Consulting

After a competitive tender we were really excited to be awarded the VRP Consulting account.

VRP Consulting are a global full-service Salesforce consulting, development and outsourcing partner delivering across the entire Salesforce platform. With over 500 people, across 12 offices in 8 countries, they think globally but deliver locally.

They are ready to take that next step with their brand and they’ve tasked chicken/egg with re-defining their brand proposition and translating this across to a new website design.

We’re already underway with a stakeholder brand exercise which, delivered via a two-part questionnaire, will help us to define the creative brief for the studio.  Plus our analysis will allow us to develop a strong set of guidelines including TOV and brand values.

With the key players spanning the globe it’s an international team effort!

Exciting times!

NEW CLIENT: Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce

chicken/egg were invited to submit some creative concepts for a new ‘branding’ project for the membership team at the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce – our ideas were well received at a kick-off board meeting so we then began to work with them in an official capacity.

So far, we’ve run two workshops; one with the internal team and the second with an extended audience including some of the chamber’s members, both chaired by the TVCC CEO.

The workshops were a showcase of potential corporate images with discussions around the psychology of colour and the power of words.

Feedback has been incredibly positive and our contract extended to help develop a comms plan and roll-out.

 

“Thank you so much for a brilliant session this morning – I’ve had great feedback from the whole team on how excellent it was and we all feel we got loads out of it.  Thank you for steering it so well and for keeping us on track.”

Head of Marketing – TVCC
