Today’s brief is a fun one that I hope all the OMBLES will get involved in! We’re looking for posters to promote #TheBlandTour, which is our parody of The Grand Tour featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond & James May.
Myself and my friend/old creative partner, James Clancy, created the brand in the form of instagram.com/theblandtour after sharing pictures over Whatsapp of old and ‘bland’ cars when we spot them. We used to work in Wilmslow and one day we were admiring an old red Austin Montego sat in traffic before realising that there was an Aston Martin in front and a Bentley behind it.
We love these types of car as you don’t see them often and we feel that the blandness, unique character and rarity should be celebrated!!
Please tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs with the hashtag #TheBlandTour and link to instagram.com/oneminutebriefs. And, don’t forget to give us a follow!
You may even want to mention @JeremyClarkson @MrJamesMay @RichardHammond & @TheGrandTour in your tweets too!
Prize: Your choice of OMBook 1-4
(You can also get 15% off any of these books today with code WRITER15 here.
In your submissions, we’d like to see how you’d parody the show but featuring the blandest, oldest cars that you can think of. Maybe you could include your old family classic cars in your submissions. How would you review the cars, sell them or feature them on the fictitious TV show, The Bland Tour.
Feel free to use any of the photos on our Instagram or good old Google.
The uglier, blander and older the better!!
