  About:

  This summer thortful are working with Humanitarian Architecture charity Article 25, hosting a greeting card design competition we’re calling #PositiveNotes. The charity specialise in the design and build of new homes, schools and hospitals, so your cards should be full of positivity, celebrating one of the following themes: New Babies, Teachers or New Home.
  
  Maybe you’ll design a 'New Home' card to mirror the 700 new hurricane-proof homes being rebuilt in Dominica. Maybe a ‘New Baby Girl/Boy' congrats card to reflect Article 25’s building of healthcare facilities – they’re currently creating a full healthcare facility on the island of Montserrat, needed to replace temporary ones in use since a devastating volcanic eruption in the late 90s. Or perhaps you want to wish 'Best of Luck in your New School' to a student attending the newly-built college in Niamey, Niger, where a lack of access to education means schooling lasts on average just 3.5 years.
  
  Since inception in 2004, Article 25 have proudly been part of the arts and design industry in the UK (as well as being an impactful international development charity), and they are supported by the arts world, including such luminaries as Sir Antony Gormley OBE, Sir Paul Smith CH CBE RD, Grayson Perry CBE RA, Banksy, Kaws, Sir David Adjaye & Kengo Kuma, Lord Norman Foster OM, RA. They aim to #MakeDesignMatter, and are happy to prove to the world that humanitarian design and architecture can make a meaningful difference to communities for the long-term.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to promote @TheGrandTour's #LochDown Special

Today’s brief is a fun one in response to the Grand Tour’s #LochDown challenge you can see in their tweet below…

What do you do when you've got no promo budget for the new episode of The Grand Tour? Get the fans to do it for free.

Just remember to include wheels and something Scottish... pic.twitter.com/xQQlkQg5XZ

— The Grand Tour (@thegrandtour) July 19, 2021

We are huge fans of the show and we even run our own parody instagram feed called The Bland Tour featuring mundane cars! Give it a follow!

We had a go at the film promo challenge ourselves and shared it across our channels on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and Twitter!! Would really appreciate the OMBLES showing those links some love with some Likes, RTs and shares to spread the word!

And, because we’ve had such fun and seen some people have produced posters via the hashtag, we thought that it would be great to get the OMBLES to have a go at the promo challenge in OMB-poster-style!!!

All the posters need to include are:

• Something with wheels.

• Something vaguely Scottish

Here’s the film we created below, me and James got the old lap car (aka my car), fitted new wheels, plates and modified it with a big booming pair of #JagPipes!

And, I wore a kilt for the first time ever. I am half Scottish after all!

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @TheGrandTour with the hashtag #LockDown

You could also mention @JeremyClarkson, @RichardHammond & @MrJamesMay in your tweets too!

Remember to include your Twitter handle on the corner of your entries!!

About #LochDown:

Did you wonder what this trio were up to during the pandemic? Well, they took some classic American cars and went on a grand tour adventure through the Scottish coastal roads. There are overheated engines, shouting, plenty of tea, and a whole load of classic car chaos.

The Grand Tour Presents:

Lochdown coming to Prime Video on the 30th July.

About The Grand Tour

Join Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May as they travel across the globe on their Grand Tour. A show about adventure, excitement and friendship… as long as you accept that the people you call friends are also the ones you find extremely annoying. Sometimes it’s even a show about cars, reviewing Italian classics, hot hatchbacks, muscle cars, pick-up trucks, luxury vehicles and more. There’s something for everyone.

About:

• King of Shaves is the world's first shaving brand to introduce a 'Lifetime Use Refill' rather than 'Buy, Use, Dispose' into the market.

• Better for the planet, Better for your pocket. Clean shave, clear conscience!

• Cost of shaving with refills vs single use tubes is cheaper.

• We now need to get consumers aware of, and to buy into this 'refillable mindset', right now they continue to buy 'single use' plastic in the (mistaken belief) that plastic is recycled, when in fact 70-90% ends up in Landfill.

• Clear point of difference from primary competitors

• From a consumer POV, we not only 'shave' the planet we 'save' money too.

About King of Shaves :

Created in 1993 in Will King’s kitchen, King of Shaves is a British company that is now firmly established as a leading challenger brand in the UK. Following redundancy and after suffering for years from razor irritation when using conventional shaving foams and gels, Will experimented with blends of essential oils and eventually created his first product – King of Shaves Original Shaving Oil – that was to become the bedrock of the company.

Will hand-filled the first 10,000 bottles over the kitchen sink (it took two weeks) and in 1993, got the product listed by Harrods and Boots the Chemist in the UK.

King of Shaves was born!

Our range of advanced high performance shaving, skin and beard care products are available in the UK from Amazon, Boots, Morrisons, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Superdrug and Waitrose as well as direct from our online shop. King of Shaves is also available in the USA as well as in several other countries including Australia and New Zealand.

We have introduced refillable packaging as part of our commitment to reducing the use of plastic in our range, our products are not tested on animals and our entire shaving and skincare range is suitable for vegans.

About Bother:

We were astounded that there wasn’t a better way to shop, that took less time, cost less money and had far less impact on the environment… and so we built it.

With three children of his own, our CEO and founder, bored and disillusioned by the bright lights of the city, craved an alternative and assembled a team with one sole purpose: to rid the world of boring shopping. And to try to help the environment. With two purposes… To rid the world of boring shopping, help the environment, make lives easier and to empower our…

No wait… maybe just with one purpose:

To Bother… so you don’t have to.

• No need for a delivery slot

• Great value prices

• The home of refills and eco alternatives

OMB Stories: Ze Anwar

I found one minute briefs five years ago by chance, I was at quite a low point in my life, and I was recovering from a suicide attempt. One minute briefs were running a brief to get the NHS Choir to number one, and I thought this is a great medium to channel my energy into.

The NHS has been important in my life, as it gave me a career, when I couldn't get into the creative industry because of the colour of my skin and sound of my name year ago. Maybe that's why I use the handle zedtrafficker, as I want to able to traffick without being judged on the colour of my skin or my name.

From the moment I first submitted my first OMB, I was hooked. I have been entering everyday and I have seen my creativity get better and better.

Which I am seeing the rewards for, such as my campaign for WWF, that got over half a billion views world wide. It was a simple idea, to highlight the extinction on of animals on earth, by removing the animal from brand emblems and logos. Something simple as this could only be created in one minute briefs, as I take literally as a one minute brief .

I would recommend one minute briefs to anyone who wants to be creative, I have always advocated that even though you have finished education, you must always train. The greatest athletes train everyday, to condition their muscles to react in a split second. The brain is also a muscle...

One thing that is a great with OMB is the community, plenty of times when I have been down and low, ombles have reached out to me. I have made many great friends or should I say brothers and sisters with one minute briefs.

I would like to thank Nick, who has created this great and diverse community. If it wasn't for OMB and Nick I may not be here today, as truly creativity saved my life. I have always believed in my talent, but I was never given the chance.

But it's thanks to Nick, who has believed in not just mine but everyone's work. Nick believed my ideas for WWF and (my favourite and most emotional OMB) the Isabella campaign. It has shown me that my creativity can be amazing, and all it took was someone to believe in me.

The WWF campaign is up for a Cannes Lions this year, and I am not really a awards person, as prior to OMB awards and my Chipshop award, all I ever won was a box of ludo and snakes and ladders.

I have campaigned hard for a job ever since the advertising industry felt sorry for being racist for so long after the George Flloyd incident. I was promised many opportunities with some very big agencies, but due to Covid, recruitment is frozen. Thanks to One minute briefs I landed a creative role with intent health, just recently. And I am enjoying the challenge very much.

I am looking forward to the future, as I feel I have another few gears to go up in creativity wisely, and I strongly feel that I will make change with my work.

Someone once asked me "why am I still in the industry that never wanted me....."

My answer was simple.... "revenge".

Love Zed

PS - I would like to thank all the ombles for all thier love and support. You are a talented bunch!

Have fun and get creative with your entries, we want them to make a splash - but try to steer away from anything political or controversial if you can!

About:

We’ll be focusing on a range of strategies to reduce our carbon output as much as possible, including: using 100% zero carbon grid electricity and natural gas, introducing energy efficiency programmes, producing our own solar power, introducing more hydrogen and electric vehicles into our large vehicle fleet, and making all company cars electric.

We’ll also look to store as much carbon as possible, through nature based solutions such as: sustainable tree planting, peatland restoration and encouraging our tenant farmers to manage the land in a sustainable way.

OMB Stories: Aleenah Alam

Hey everyone! I'm Aleenah (Aleenah_14 on Twitter) and I look after the OMB Instagram page!

I first got into OMBs back when I was in college. I was doing Creative Media, things like graphic design, video production and animation, and came across a tweet by One Minute Briefs - something about women in design. I was interested and from there, I started to take part. It's great for building up a portfolio and you meet a load of nice people and friends.

With the help of One Minute Briefs in my portfolio, I was able to get a place at my first choice university, doing graphic design. By then, I was probably about a year into doing OMBs and had also taken part in the Merry Critmas advert - which was A LOT of fun to film and something great to show universities. I truly believe that One Minute Briefs helped me to get a place at university and that that was the thing that placed me above other candidates.

Design aside, as I mentioned that One Minute Briefs allowed me to network, I have met some great people. Back in 2019, I had my first proper pet - two tiny dwarf hamsters. Unfortunately, one of them did die and I was absolutely devasted. I wanted a way to still remember her so I decided on a pet portrait and through OMB, I was able to find John, who I then commissioned to make a portrait of my hamster and it was absolutely beautiful!

I also really love having my work put out there, especially when you have a prize brief say with The Drum, and then your work gets put on their website. It's pretty cool to be able to say that your work's been published on a big platform.

I guess my top two most favourite OMBs that I've made were 1) The Young Life Writers brief and 2) the #WeAreOne brief. The Young Writers brief was the first prize that I won and I still remember seeing the tweet when I was out to a family function (when you could still go out and have big meetups 🤣🤣) and then my parents told everyone as they were so proud! The #WeAreOne one was also great because I loved getting everyone's photos to add to it and it just made me feel connected to the community more!

Overall, this is such a fantastic and supportive place and the (prize) briefs are incredible: I mean who doesn't want to win a lump of cash? I love telling everyone about OMB and even mentioned it when I recorded for a friend's podcast (check my episode out on @PiratedMaterial on Twitter). And don't forget to send your entries to Instagram as well so I can share them!

OMB Stories: Tom Wilding

I've been working as a graphic designer for 15 years now, in agency, in-house and freelance settings. April 2020 saw me working as a Senior Designer in a job that often felt like a bit of a factory assembly line, as well as dealing with the recent introduction of something called the 'Coronavirus Pandemic Lockdown', (I prefer 'Ongoing Viral Bastard'.) Spending more time in my day on video calls than flexing my creativity muscles, my good friend Gary (@PittAlunG) put me on to OMB and some of the briefs he'd been working on there.

They were GREAT. Interesting briefs with real brands and organisations that were actually looking to action real change, alongside fun briefs like 'Advertise Gazebos' that were just pure creativity. The people seemed cool too. A bit mad, but cool.

I took a punt. I think my first brief was advertising One Minute Wonders. Basically OMB itself...which I had no idea about. Imposter syndrome swelled, I'm pretty sure I forgot how to use Photoshop for about 20 minutes, but I eventually got there with an entry.

I got a couple of likes, a few 'welcomes' and that big OMB Retweet...and I was hooked. Briefs on Lawnmowers, Toe Rings and International Dance Day followed. I got a few more likes, a few nice comments and a couple more retweets. I started chatting to more and more of the OMBLES, and they were all lovely and really encouraging. An entry for the NHS got shared by one of their social media accounts, which even after 15 years in the industry was a big thrill. I put half of my lunch hour aside every day to work on that day's brief, and most of the time it was the highlight of my day. I even picked up a few shortlists and wins.

In May 2020 I got my first big win - promoting the awesome Maisie Catt and her incredible fundraising efforts. The prize was a thankyou video from the girl herself, which was a huge boost and actually made me a tiny bit emotional, (which when I'm essentially a robot 80% of the time is saying something.) A few weeks later I volunteered to join the OMB Board, having more involvement with briefs and helping welcome and support new people - one of my favourite parts of OMB now. As time has gone on, I've started working more and more on my copy skills, something I always struggled with previously.

Redundancy hit in July 2020, following a pretty harsh and very messy consultation period. I felt angry, cheated and worried about where I'd be able to get money from during a pandemic. Nobody would buy one of my kidneys, (not that I really asked around...much...) but I knew from OMB that whatever my old job had made me believe, my work and ideas WERE good enough for some pretty big companies. I took the plunge and went freelance in September 2020, and have been doing so ever since.

Though working for myself has meant that I can't always enter OMB every day, when I do put something together I try to go BIG! I make an effort to stay involved with the Board as much as possible, as well as liking, retweeting and commenting on amazing entries that take my eye. I try to support newbies and those looking for job opportunities as much as possible, as I know how horrible it is to be in that position. Getting a win or shortlist for an OMB you've put together is a huge boost, but getting tweets from other OMBLES saying they love your work is a massive confidence boost and helps stave off that all-encompassing imposter syndrome.

Ultimately, OMB is a community that goes beyond creating amazing ads - it's about encouraging and supporting people and helping them develop - whether that's their work, their confidence or their portfolios. I'm not 100% I would have gotten through the last year without it to be honest!

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to raise awareness that #ChildrenGetArthritisToo and encourage people to #ThinkJIA with @jarproject

#ThinkJIA is a campaign to raise awareness of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is aimed at clinicians, parents/carers, schools/nurseries and the general public. Research has shown that low awareness leads to delays in referrals and diagnosis. Prompt diagnosis can lead to better outcomes, so raising awareness is really important. 

Low awareness of childhood arthritis can also lead to stigma, isolation and loneliness for children and their families.

Here at Juvenile Arthritis Research, we face an additional challenge of not only raising awareness of JIA, but also raising awareness of who we are and what we do. A common theme we hear from families receiving support from us is that they wish they had known about us sooner. 

That’s why we’re teaming up with the OMBLES to help spread the word as far and wide as possible with typically instinctive, brilliant ideas. We can’t wait to see what you come up with and really appreciate your help!

About Juvenile Arthritis Research

Juvenile Arthritis Research is a small charity whose vision is a world where no child has to suffer from arthritis. We do this through research, raising awareness and providing support to children and their families affected by juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

We may be a small charity, but we are making a big difference to the lives of children living with JIA.

Context

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (or childhood arthritis)

Around 1 in 1000 children and young people have juvenile idiopathic arthritis (also known as JIA, or ‘juvenile arthritis’). JIA is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s natural defences (designed to stop infections) start to attack the joints. This causes inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, discomfort and reduced mobility. Without effective treatment, it can lead to permanent joint damage and disability. 

JIA does not only affect the joints. In around 1 in 5 children with JIA, the eyes can also be affected – a condition known as uveitis. If not treated effectively and promptly, uveitis can lead to permanent sight loss. Regular eye checks are essential for children with JIA.

Some children have to wait over 5 years for a diagnosis of JIA. The primary reason for this is low awareness.

There is no one ‘test’ to diagnose for JIA, which is why a referral to a paediatric rheumatologist is important for a prompt diagnosis.

One of the challenges we face is that there is a common misconception that arthritis only affects older people. Yet, you can get arthritis at any age. Babies, children and young people can all develop arthritis. JIA is not the same as osteoarthritis that is more commonly associated with older people.

Children with arthritis won’t just grow out of it. A diagnosis of JIA stays with a child for life (although some may go into remission, and with prompt and effective treatment the risk of long-term joint damage can be reduced for many).

A diagnosis of JIA can have a huge impact on the whole family. Appointments, scans and assessments can lead to children missing large chunks of time off school and parents having to take time off work. Siblings can feel the strain too of seeing their brother or sister in pain and parents/carers having less time to spend with the siblings. 

Whilst medications are really important in treating JIA, they can bring their own burdens. The medication is often injected or administered as a drip. There may be side-effects of sickness and nausea and children with JIA often need regular blood tests to monitor their condition and to ensure the medications aren’t causing harm to other parts of their body. 

Children can become fed-up and tired of regularly needing to do physiotherapy exercises. Daily physio is often required and is an important part of treatment. 

JIA is sometimes considered to be an “invisible illness” due to the variability of the condition. Some days, a child may appear to be fine and be able to take part in sports and activities and the very next day they may be unable to walk and need to use crutches or a wheelchair. 

So all in all, there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes in the life of a child with JIA in order for that child to lead as “normal” a life as possible.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to encourage visitors to respect Dorset by taking their rubbish home and not leaving it next to a full bin!! @LitterFreeDrst #TakeItHome

Today we’ve got an important brief for an issue that is happening more and more with bins in public places. We’re looking for the OMBLES to share their typically brilliant, quick and instinctive ideas to get the message across to #TakeItHome if, and when, bins are full!

This brief is Dorset focussed so we’d love to see how you can weave that into your ideas too and we want all of the messaging to be positive and even humorous in tone. We don’t want to be telling people off or showing anything negative like showing photos of litter on the beach or/and injured animals. Let’s keep it fun but share an impactful message at the same time!

About:

This Summer Dorset will be experiencing an increase in visitors. Most people respect the countryside and coastal areas and do the right thing by taking their rubbish home however there are a small minority of people who either leave rubbish on the beaches or next to a bin. The issue we want to address is the ‘tidy litterer’, this is the person who puts their rubbish on top of or next to an overflowing bin. We want people to understand that this is still littering and creates a beacon that attracts more litter.

About the Campaign:

International travel might be on hold for now, but there are plenty of places to explore in the UK, including the sunny seaside town, Blackpool!

An estimated 18 million holidaymakers hit the Blackpool coastline in 2019 and, after a challenging 15 months due to the Coronavirus pandemic, VisitBlackpool has safely rolled out the welcome mat, promoting a fully-fledged tourism offer once again.

Blackpool is officially back and there is something for every family to enjoy - from lazy days soaking up the rays and building sandcastles on the beach to a fun-filled day out exploring all that Blackpool has to offer. 

The traditional seaside resort offers the most attractions in one place outside of London, including the iconic Blackpool Tower, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Sandcastle Waterpark, SEA LIFE, Madame Tussauds, Blackpool Zoo, Winter Gardens and many more! The town also boasts top-class shows and entertainment, and a range of accommodation to suit all pockets.

This summer, Blackpool is pulling out all the stops to become the UK’s staycation capital which is why we’re calling on the OMBLES to help us! We’re asking you to create exciting, creative ads to encourage families to pick Blackpool for their Great British Holiday!

What’s the first thing you think of when someone says Blackpool? Is it the lovable donkeys on the beach? Penny slot machines in the bustling arcades? Fish and chips? The exhilarating rollercoasters?

Prizes:

Story

Njori was founded over a love of great food and great design. As product designers and keen cooks we faced a common problem when experimenting with new recipes and techniques - lack of accuracy, and too many single use kitchen gadgets, taking up space in our kitchens. 

This dilemma got our design and development brains thinking: why isn’t there a single product that offers complete control with endless possibilities to experiment, yet comes in a streamlined design that takes up a fraction of cupboard space?

The idea of the Njori Tempo was born!

Njori Tempo Features:

PRECISE PAN TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Cooking by exact temperature is the next stage in cooking evolution.

The sprung, direct contact temperature sensor continually monitors the pan temperature as you cook.  The Tempo then regulates the power to maintain your desired temperature. This ensures you get consistent results and helps you to refine your recipes.

The Tempo is designed to compliment your everyday cooktop, rather than replace it, giving you additional precise temperature control over your cooking.

SOUS-VIDE, SLOW COOK AND DEEP FRYING MODES 

Preset modes pair with temperature probes to perfect the most adventurous recipes possible. 

Sous-vide was once the preserve of professional kitchens, but thanks to the Tempo’s ability to set and maintain specific temperatures using a feedback loop, it’s easy to create melt-in-the-mouth Asian pork belly, Korean beef short ribs and tender teriyaki salmon at home.  The water circulator and probe simply combine to turn your pan into a water bath, perfect for gentle cooking.

Deep frying also uses the probe accessory, attaching easily to the side of your pan. The probe automatically corrects the temperature as you place cold ingredients into the pan making it a breeze to rustle up crunchy fried chicken, light and crispy tempura prawns or delicious doughnuts with confidence.

Nothing beats the flavour slow cooking imparts – but heavy slow cookers take up valuable cupboard space. You can serve succulent stews or casseroles using your pan of choice with the Njori Tempo in slow cook mode. 

You can even place the probe into a piece of meat and set the ideal temperature to ensure it's cooked to perfection!

BUILT IN SCALES

Integrated scales also allow you to weigh ingredients before and during cooking and equally portion up the final creation.

The scales also allow you to use the reduce by weight function, ideal for bringing new consistency to sauces and reductions.

INSTANT CONTROL

Straight out of the box, the magnetic dial gives the user instant control over pan temperature, via the direct contact temperature sensor in the center of the glass. This means you're safe in the knowledge that whatever you put in the pan, the cooker has you covered. 

Our patent pending dial has been configured to give you effortless and instant control. With a built in button it makes selecting your mode of choice even easier.

COMPACT DESIGN

The Njori Tempo has an extremely sleek and compact design.  This makes the Tempo easy to store or transport. Accessories and cables tidy away neatly in the cork base, which is held closed by powerful magnets.

This was a high priority when first designing the product. When in use it won’t take up valuable space on your worktop and when not in use, it can be stored on a bookshelf alongside your favourite cookbooks.
