Storm Eunice:

Storm Eunice is going to impact much of the UK on Friday. The most significant wind gusts are expected in the south and west of the UK, with an amber warning now in force here from the early hours of Friday morning. Exposed coastal areas could see wind gusts in excess of 95mph, while inland areas could still see gusts to around 80mph, bringing the potential for fallen trees, damage to buildings and travel disruption. 

Although Storm Eunice’s strongest winds will be on its southern edge, the northern flank of the system brings the potential for some snow to northern areas. A yellow warning for wind and snow has been issued covering Northern Ireland, northern England and southern Scotland, where potentially up to 20cm of snow could accumulate over high ground, with up to 5cm possible in some lower areas. Brisk winds in this area could cause blizzard-like conditions and drifting of lying snow, reducing visibility, and making driving conditions difficult.

Our story:

Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish whiskey. What’s that we hear you say? Well first we take the best of pot still and fine grain whiskeys. Then we triple distil them - not because we have to because we want to as it gives it its signature smoothness. Finally, we age them in oak casks for a minimum of 4 years. The result? A unique whiskey with a perfect balance of spicy, nutty and vanilla notes with hints of sweet sherry. 

Best enjoyed with friends. Try it neat, over ice, or with ginger ale and lime for a crisp and refreshing drink.

WHAT IS BIOTIFUL KEFIR?

Biotiful Kefir, Gut-Friendly* & Naturally Delicious! 

Biotiful Kefir is a cultured Dairy or Non-Dairy drink.

Kefir is a nutritious fermented product with billions of live cultures to support Gut Health & Immunity, naturally. Light, smooth & refreshing with no sugar added. Completely natural and free from any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Originating from the Caucasus mountains, Kefir has been a trusted dietary staple for over 2,000 years. The word literally means ‘feel good’, and with over 40 strains of gut-friendly cultures in our Biotiful Kefir we understand why.

We love Biotiful Kefir, in its many forms, throughout the day. It’s great in smoothies, poured over granola, added to a recipe or as a dessert. 


HOW IS KEFIR MADE?

Biotiful Kefir is made with an ancient fermentation method which is amazing yet simple.

It starts with Kefir grains, which are essentially a cluster of beneficial bacteria. These live cultures are added to fresh warm milk – dairy or non-dairy, kick-starting the fermentation. Inside of a tight container away from light, allowing them to grow and reproduce, whilst starving the grains of oxygen.

Once the Kefir is fermented, the remaining Kefir grains are strained before bottling, leaving you with a smooth, delicious, cultured drink.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF KEFIR?

Kefir is a naturally fermented food made with billions live cultures, and it’s believed these fermented foods can provide a dose of live microorganisms to support healthy digestion to help support gut health and immunity. 


Additional Messages we’d like to share:

  • Gut-friendly*

  • Gut Health* support, naturally

  • Immunity support**, naturally

  • Biotiful is the N° 1 kefir brand in UK***


*Kefir is also source of calcium, which contributes to the normal functioning of the digestive enzymes

**Kefir is a source of Vitamin B12, which contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters that communicate how equality creates a better future for everyone. With @Oxfam #InequalityKills

Today’s One Minute Brief is an important one in collaboration with Oxfam and there are some great prizes to be won!! We hope the OMBLES will help share this important message and encourage action.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters that communicate how equality creates a better future for everyone. With @Oxfam #InequalityKills

While inequality is killing people and our planet, and has been turbocharged by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We seek for an economic model that works for everyone, not only a very few rich and powerful people.

Please tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @Oxfam with the hashtag #InequalityKills

Prizes

  • First Place: £200 cash!!

  • Second place: £100 cash!!

What is the cause, who is being harmed, and who is benefitting?

The wealth of the world’s 10 richest people has doubled since the pandemic began. The incomes of 99% of humanity are worse off because of COVID-19. Widening economic, gender, and racial inequalities—as well as the inequality that exists between countries—are tearing our world apart.

This is not by chance, but choice: “economic violence” is perpetrated when structural policy choices are made for the richest and most powerful people. This causes direct harm to us all, and to the poorest people, women and girls, and racialised groups most. Inequality contributes to the death of at least one person every four seconds.

But we can radically redesign our economies to be centred on equality. We can claw back extreme wealth through progressive taxation; invest in powerful, proven inequality-busting public measures; and boldly shift power in the economy and society. If we are courageous, and listen to the movements demanding change, we can create an economy in which nobody lives in poverty, nor with unimaginable billionaire wealth—in which inequality no longer kills.

Objective

We want to use the 2022 WEF as an opportunity to push for economic, gender and racial equality and change. Inequality means people are needlessly losing their lives to poverty, gender-based violence, lack of access to health care and climate crisis. These are the violent consequences of the uncontrolled power and influence the richest individuals and companies have over our economies.

For the future to be more equal for all of us, we must redistribute both wealth and power..

The question we want to pose to the creatives engaging in this brief is: 

Inequality affects us all, is killing people and the planet. Imagine a real sustainable, poverty-free, violence-free world, where human rights are respected and people can thrive regardless their cast, gender, origin, nationality or racialised context. Overcoming extreme inequality means all humans have the ability to pursue their dreams. 

How would you depict this? How can we showcase how a more equal world with better economic models would work for the benefit of us all?

It is important that we showcase how a more equal economic model will work for everyone and not just the few who are currently hoarding resources.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters that show what a #WorldWithoutNature would look like by taking the nature out of logos/badges of brands/sports teams in real-world scenarios with @WWF

We’re excited to announce that we are joining forces with the WWF to bring back the #WorldWithoutNature campaign once again following the success of last year, where we had reach of half a billion! And, we’d love the OMBLES to get involved once again!

  • 2021 RECAP:

    On March 3 2021, over 250 Sports Teams, Brands, NGOs and Government bodies removed nature-related imagery from their logos on social media for the day, raising awareness and media interest in the topic of nature loss.

We hope to go even bigger and better this year!! See last year’s highlights film below.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters that show what a #WorldWithoutNature would look like by taking the nature out of logos/badges of brands/sports teams in real-world scenarios.

What would the world look like without nature within the branding on kits, buildings, posters, shop signage, stadiums, books, cars, merchandise, print & online media… or anything else that comes to mind?

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs, @WWF & @WWF_UK with the hashtag #WorldWithoutNature

  • Please tag in as many brands and teams you can think of within your tweets too with a message to encourage them to get involved too!!

  • Remember your Twitter handle in the corner of your entries. Deadline 6pm GMT.

Prizes:

WINNER receives £250 cash!!

About:

World Wildlife Day is less than 2 months away and on this day we have a powerful opportunity to band together. Today more than ever before, nature is in jeopardy –  we need your help to get this message across & would really appreciate your continued support.

For World Wildlife Day (3 March 2022), WWF is running a global activation encouraging companies, NGOs, sports teams and governments to remove nature from their branding to mark the day. This day of action aims to highlight the dramatic loss of biodiversity – the variety of all life on Earth – and the social and economical risks that it poses.

And this is where you come in! We’d like the OMBLES to help us reach out to brands and teams around the world with nature in their logos. Tag as many of them in your tweets as you can and encourage them to get in touch with us via DM or interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk to sign up.

We want brands & teams to support on the day by taking nature out of their logo/badge on World Wildlife Day. They can remove anything from animals and plants to forests and oceans.

With their new ‘nature-less’ identity, they can raise awareness by changing their logo on your social media channels and website, and create social posts to explain why you’re doing it. They can also take this offline – which is bound to garner media attention – by wearing their new badge on their sports kit for the day or changing their logo in major stores or offices. (Or any other ways they can think of… we’re open to suggestions!)

We’d be grateful for any introductions to brands via email or to find out how you can get involved yourself to interest@bankofcreativity.co.uk

You can see all of the details on how to participate here and check out the video below.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to attract a younger audience & show how Patum Peperium relishes deliver BIG, BOLD, DELICIOUS umami flavours to bring your food to life. #RelishYourFood

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs with the hashtag #RelishYourFood

and we’d also like you to share your submissions on insta via posts/stories to @OneMinuteBriefs & @PatumPeperium

Prize:

Today’s winner will receive a £100 cash prize and a hamper of Patum Peperium goodies!!

Background: 

Patum Peperium is a great British heritage brand originally created in 1828 enjoyed by British icons such as Nigella Lawson & James Bond and stocked in the likes of Sainsbury’s and Waitrose

The brand has three flavours: Spiced Anchovy - Gentlemen’s Relish (No silly jokes please), Salmon with Lemon - Poachers’s Relish & Mackerel with Lemon - Angler’s Finest Relish.

Challenge: Patum Peperium has a very distinctive taste with bold flavours. it's very polarising. People either love it or hate it… a bit like Marmite! It's also enjoyed by an aging demographic.

How do we modernise & attract the next generation of Patum fans?

Target Audience: Millennial/Gen X; ABC 1; Seeking Indulgence & bold flavours

About:

Patum Peperium was invented in 1828 by John Osborn, when he was living in Paris. He launched it at two Paris Food Shows where it won it’s first award – praise indeed for an Englishman in France. Osborn’s original recipe was a mix of anchovy, butter and a secret blend of spices to give the relish its luxurious depth of flavour. The name Patum Peperium means peppered paste but the product itself is more like a fish butter than a paste. 

Following the success of the product launch, other Gentleman’s Relish imitations started to appear but, as Osborn decided to keep the spice blend a secret, none of them were comparable to the original, Patum Peperium. To this day the relish is still made in the same way and only one person in the business is allowed to know the full recipe for Patum Peperium with the secret being passed down through the generations from father to son.

In 1998, to celebrate the 170th anniversary Patum Peperium, it was decided that the range would expand beyond anchovies to include an Angler’s Relish (mackerel) and a Poacher’s Relish (salmon). Patum Peperium has been part of British heritage for over 190 years now and has been enjoyed by people all over the world – it’s even been eaten by James Bond in For Your Eyes Only and was selected as one of the 10 foods that Nigella Lawson couldn’t live without.

A bit of background

We are the Allies launched 3 years ago. Our mission being to create an army of the best creative freelancers that agencies and production companies could book through us. We are not a typical recruitment agency as we are set up by creatives, for creatives. With over 450 freelancers, covering everything from Editors to Designers, we have every creative discipline.

The Advertising industry is changing, more and more big brands are taking creative resources in-house and advertising agencies are choosing to hire less senior creative people, instead they are plugging these gaps with freelance creatives. Finding the best creatives is often hard and typical recruiters don’t understand creativity as they are often not from a creative background. This is where we come in, we are creatives first and use our industry knowledge and experience to find the best freelancers for our clients.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to show how @EatleanCheese is 100% natural with no hidden nasties, just British cow’s milk and a pinch of salt! #EatAwesome

We’re excited to be collaborating with Eatlean on another briliant brief and we can’t wait to see how the OMBLES take on today’s brief for the chance to win some amazing prizes!!

One Minute Brief of the Day:

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to show how @EatleanCheese is 100% natural with no hidden nasties, just British cow’s milk and a pinch of salt! #EatAwesome

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs and @EatLeanCheese with the hashtag #EatAwesome

Prizes:

1st prize - £200 plus a year’s worth of EatLean cheese

2nd prize - £100 plus 6 months’ worth of EatLean cheese

3rd prize - £50 plus 3 months’ worth of EatLean cheese

Food is, and always should be about enjoyment.  At Eatlean we empower and enable you to make better food choices, without compromising taste and quality.  We create healthy ingredients, snacks and meals to support your daily journey towards a healthier lifestyle.  

Eatlean, Eat Awesome.

However with such amazing nutritionals, there is often a misconception that our cheese must contain added ‘nasties’  to make it lower calorie, lower in fat and higher in protein, when in fact, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Our cheese is made with exactly the SAME cheese making methods and ingredients as regular cheddar, we just take the fat out of the milk first before making the cheese, which naturally increases the protein.

“Nothing added, everything gained – 100% natural, just British cow’s milk and a pinch of salt!”

We want people to recognise that our cheese is made of nothing more than just cow’s milk and a pinch of salt – that’s it.  Same methods, same ingredients, better all-round nutritionals (versus regular cheddar).

Audience: We’d like to target the above message at every cheese eater. Currently 91% of UK adults consume cheese, and we believe that every single one of the 91% could make better health choices when choosing their cheese. 

Help us make this point by creating fun, creative OMBLE-style posters via designs, scribbles, sketches, headlines or GIFs.

We want YOU - creatives, designers, illustrators and quick thinkers - to help spread the word that #ATreeIsNotJustForChristmas.

With the festive season upon us, there’s nothing that makes us feel more prepared for Christmas than decorating a Christmas Tree. But beyond being something to help us get into the festive spirit, trees are vital to all life on earth, and they should be treated as such with their global importance heralded.

Together, we want to help raise the profile of the humble tree, as this time of year when they are brought into our homes to play such a personal role as the star of our Christmas festivities - because trees are actually superstars all year round, all over the planet!

From planting trees and protecting biodiversity and nature, to rewilding patches of your garden or growing flowers on your balcony for bees, each small contribution is a positive action.

Create a poster, a design, illustration, sketch, scribble or whatever else you can think of to share your own thoughts on the issue. As part of this, we’d love to see and hear about your own favourite trees or trees you’ve planted yourselves (either via Ecologi or manually) to make a difference to the world and help combat climate change.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Prizes:

  • £100 cash prize

  • 12 months free Climate Positive account with Ecologi

For every submission, Ecologi will plant 10 trees. 

About #ATreeIsNotJustForChristmas

“Together, we can change the world.”

Ecologi believes that individuals have the power to save the world and that together we can make real change to our planet and maintain a sustainable climate. 

We’re looking to inspire and empower people this Christmas by showcasing and celebrating all efforts to plant trees and support biodiversity projects around the world, no matter how big or small. You, your friends, and your family have the ability to make lasting change by spreading the word that A tree is not just for Christmas.

The brief

Draw from your creativity! The Canva Draw app is here, letting you draw, highlight, and take notes in your Canva designs. From posters to presentations, it’s the perfect way to add your finishing touches and strokes of creativity. By the time you had read that opening paragraph, you could have created a Canva design, doodled on it, shipped it, and popped the kettle on for your afternoon tea. It’s that easy.

The Draw app allows users to draw and write freehand for the first time in Canva! This provides our users with even more flexibility in the way they design, so they can better realise their creative goals without having to switch to other apps. And best of all it’s free!

  • The app allows for basic drawing/annotation in Canva with a selection of brushes and controls.

  • Users can’t erase/edit a drawing once the app is closed (it becomes an image at that point, which can be deleted or copied like any other image).

  • Available on desktop and tablet only.

The Draw App is also explained from 20 seconds onwards in the video below.

This is a pretty open brief, but here are some key things you should note: 

• We want to showcase the Canva Draw app

• Use the hashtag #DesignedWithCanva

• Our tone is fun, playful, and inclusive 

If you want to get a hands-on feel of the Canva Draw app, open any Canva design, click on the three dots (...) on the bottom left-hand corner, and click on the Draw app.

Here’s an example of how to use the app from a Canva Certified Creative below:

Who we are:
