One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters with @WWTworldwide to bring to life and pledge support for how urban wetlands help wildlife AND our well-being #WetlandsCan

A truly wild brief today, so make sure to gear up and pledge your support for the essential importance of all the beautiful wetlands on our planet alongside the amazing @WWTworldwide, featuring some high-flying cash prizes to be won!!

84% of people in the UK live in urban areas – where access to nature is often unequal and inadequate.

Spending time in natural spaces can seriously improve our lives. A ‘blue’ environment can be as good or even better for you than a ‘green’ one: living near or visiting the coast, rivers and lakes increases people’s reported levels of wellbeing.

We need to spread the word about how wetland habitats can support our wildlife and our mental health – especially in towns and cities.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters with @WWTworldwide to bring to life and pledge support for how urban wetlands help wildlife AND our well-being #WetlandsCan

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @WWTworldwide with the hashtag #WetlandsCan

Remember to include your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your submissions. Enter as many times as you like. Deadline 6pm BST.

You can also share your entries via stories and posts to @wwtworldwide on Instagram!

Prize:

1st Place: £250 cash!!

A new report published by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust shows that:

  • Just ten minutes in urban wetlands may be enough to produce improvements in mood

  • In the 200 most disadvantaged urban areas, only 3% of people have access to a green space within a 15 minute walk.

  • Only 57% of people in the most deprived areas spend time in the natural environment every week

  • It is estimated that London’s natural spaces alone save the NHS £580m a year in healthcare costs

We want to spark people’s interest in having a wetlands in their communities. In the same way that tree-planting is supported, we want them to get behind the idea of ponds, streams, wetland parks and rain gardens in their local neighbourhoods.

Despite their importance, 90% of wetlands have been lost in England alone. Our #WetlandsCan campaign is calling for more of these habitats – and we’re asking our supporters to pledge their support. Each name we collect will build momentum and help us to raise awareness.

It’s time to get creative with choccy… that’s right, it’s #WorldChocolateDay, and what better way to celebrate arguably the most IMPORTANT day of the year by having a chocolate-themed brief for all you lucky OMBLES, with some amazing cash and chocolatey prizes to be won!!

The Knoops concept is based around a carefully curated percentage menu which offers chocolates to suit every taste and mood.

We find joy in helping you to discover your perfect chocolate drink, and encourage experimentation with different % chocolates and flavours in a process we call ‘Knoopology’.

This process is simple; choose your chocolate %, milk, and extra flavours like sea salt, orange zest or chilli to be made into a hot chocolate, milkshake or iced chocolate.

Prizes:

1st place: £200 cash + a VIP card (entitling the winner to free drinks at Knoops)  

2nd & 3rd place: £50 gift card for Knoops and a selection of Knoops goodies

The Knoops story:

Our founder Jens Knoops has had a strong relationship with chocolate since his childhood in rural Germany. In 2013, he decided to share his passion and opened the first Knoops store in Rye, East Sussex.

Since then, Jens has gone on to open more Knoops stores, built a team of chocolate lovers around him, developed an at-home range of chocolate flakes, and even released a chocolate cookbook.

The art of Knoopology:

Knoopology is the art of crafting your perfect chocolate drink, not just in our stores, but at home too.

Think of the process like an experiment; first, choose from our range of ten different % chocolate flakes. Then, pick your milk - dairy and plant-based all work to make hot and cold drinks. Finally, prepare any extras to add - a pinch of sea salt or some freshly grated orange zest are good starting points.

There truly is a Knoops to suit every mood.

Sustainability in our chocolate and stores:

At Knoops, we prioritise the use of environmentally friendly materials and sustainable products across our company - from the sourcing of our chocolate to the fabric of our stores. We continually review our supply chain to ensure that it remains in line with our ecological and ethical values.

Our chocolate:

Our founder, Jens Knoop, carefully selects each of the chocolates in our library which comes from the world's foremost cacao-growing regions. We work with only a handful of chocolate makers, both large and small, who are genuinely committed to improving the sustainability of their cocoa.

For example, Firetree work directly with cocoa farmers and make all of their chocolate in the UK. By cutting out the 'middle man', Firetree can pay a substantial premium above the market rate, giving farmers the scope to commit to high ethical standards, as well as provide well for their families.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to help River continue his journey #SpreadingTheLoveOfFootball whilst on the road to recovery from Cancer.

We are delighted to be running another brief to support River Rhodes on his journey to recovery from cancer. We previously ran a brief for him in February when he was undergoing radiotherapy and at the same time visited a couple of football teams to spread the joy of football.

He has since gone on to be mascot at Soccer Aid and meet David Beckham, whilst adding many amazing current and ex-players to his meg list including Patrice Evra and Jamie Carragher. He even added the one and only Tyson Fury to the list too!

So today, as training starts with all the latest transfers happening.ahead of the new season, we are asking the OMBLES to create posters to help River visit every team in the Premier League and beyond.

We’d like you to come up with posters and tag in teams encouraging them to have RIver as a guest at one of their games this season or meet players past and present and keep his dream of #SpreadingTheLoveOfFootball as far and wide as possible, whilst he continues in his recovery.

We want to keep supporting River to do this and show that the Cancer can and will be beaten by staying positive, determined and focussing the energy he has into what he loves most and inspire other people going through hard times.

River is winning in his battle and is on chemotherapy until December. He has another scan in August to see whether or not to operate on the remaining cells.

Please tag your own team that you support in your tweets and/or other teams/players to get them involved.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to help River continue his journey #SpreadingTheLoveOfFootball whilst on the road to recovery from Cancer.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @RiverTheChamp with the hashtag #SpreadingTheLoveOfFootball

Prizes:

£50 cash prize + £50 matched donation to River’s donation page from OMB.

River’s Story:

This is River, earlier this year River had a poorly eye, his mom, called the doctors who treated it as blepharitis, a bacterial infection and was told to just bathe it. Days passed and still no improvement, his mom asked to see a doctor but was refused as they were only doing telephone appointments, but asked to send in a photo of Rivers eye.

The doctor then prescribed antibiotic drops, but still no improvement, in the end Rivers mom took him to the hospital who thought it may be hayfever and sent him home with hayfever drops to take for a week, Rivers eye seemed to be getting worse so he was taken back to the hospital only to be told that there was a lump that could be cancerous so an MRI and biopsies were needed.

River went home to celebrate his 7th birthday with all his family & friends because the next day he was in surgery having biopsies taken. Waiting for the results was very difficult for Rivers family and friends as they were all praying for good news. Unfortunately River has been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancerous tumour and has currently started an intense course of chemotherapy for the next 12 months, after this River will have to have radiation which could either potentially take partial sight or full sight of his eye.

You can donate here to help with the financial strain of daily hospital visits, parking fees and to enable us to buy things that would bring a smile to Rivers face and hopefully make memories for him that will outeigh the trauma of chemo, radiation and endless hospital visits, which result in River missing out on so much of his young life.

Here are some photos of River with football players. Feel free to use any of the pics within your entries!!

Nick’s reflections on Adweek’s article:

I never wanted to write or share this post, but I’ve been forced to after Adweek have recently published an article which makes a number of very serious and false allegations about me, which I can’t let go unanswered, both for my own sake and that of the community of which I’m a part.

I’ve now been running One Minute Briefs for ten years since starting it at university. People have always assumed there is a big team behind OMB. But no. It’s just been me. I am by no means perfect. I have made mistakes in my personal life and business life, as everyone has. I have made amends for these and will continue to do so. That’s why, it’s a shame to see campaigns from 9 years ago (when OMB wasn’t even a business) being brought back up. As well as a campaign from 4 years ago, when steps were made to evolve the business & introduce an OMBoard.

I’ve worked extremely hard to create an inclusive community where people can be creative and thrive by gaining contacts, confidence and meet like-minded people. 

But it comes at a cost.

As your community grows, your apparent success brings negativity, jealousy, bullying and hate.

Throughout this whole time, I’ve arranged meet-ups, events and done many workshops and talks. I message both men and women all of the time through OMB, some of which have turned into close friendships or relationships. It’s perfectly normal to me, to interact with people on this level.  

That being said, if this has ever made anyone feel uncomfortable, then I apologise and I will endeavour to ensure there is a clearer distinction between my personal and business life moving forward. I must also stress that all prize winners are chosen by the brands/causes we collaborate with – I do not select prize winners myself.

I have now put in place a team of OMBassadors and someone else is now running the day-to-day duties of OMB as I intend to step back to deal with the severe impact this has had on myself and the community.

I’m sure you will have read the Adweek article and I know some of you have made your own mind up about me.

A person I had a personal relationship with, has decided to share serious allegations about me in a New York ad publication. 

While the person making the accusations against me isn’t named in the article – and I respect that they do not want to be named – I am aware of who they are.

I have a lot to say about the circumstances, but I am not willing to do this through the media, out of respect for their privacy & mental well-being.

Since the article was published, I have seen people coming out to bully me in an almost ‘influencer-like’ witch hunt, in order to inflict as much damage as possible. This has resulted in a pile-on of malicious and inflammatory social posts that are incredibly difficult to read. I’ve done my best to keep away from social media whilst people attempt to make my world fall apart but I have seen some of what has been said about me, and the content of social media posts are being monitored. 

To reiterate, these allegations are categorically false and not being considered against the context of my personal and private relationship with this person.

Adweek’s sensationalist and damaging reporting style has led to me being on suicide watch by my family and friends, a fact which I’ve made clear to Adweek throughout.

Despite claims to the contrary, I did in fact provide Adweek with relevant background information including details that substantiate that what I am saying is true – but I provided some of that information off the record because otherwise it would have involved the publishing of sensitive personal details regarding the person who made them.

I have sought mental health help to cope with all of this and I’d like to thank all of my friends/family/OMBassadors for their support during such a difficult time. I have been very sad to see valued members of the community turn their back on OMB, as a result of this article, without having the opportunity to hear my side.

That said, I would like to thank everyone who continues to support me and the community, and I will continue to support the team who are now running OMB and I very much hope it can survive and thrive once again.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create eye-catching, cut-through-the-noise posters for @proper_nutty peanut butters to bring to life ‘smooth and crunchy’. #SMUNCHY

Following our peanut buttery brief a few weeks ago, we were contacted by local company Proper Nutty to see if the OMBLES could go nuts on a slightly different challenge to bring to life both smooth and crunchy.

We can’t wait to see the results of this one. No nutty euphemisms or crudeness though please!

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create eye-catching, cut-through-the-noise posters for @proper_nutty peanut butters to bring to life ‘smooth and crunchy’. #SMUNCHY

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @proper_nutty with the hashtag #SMUNCHY

Prize:

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

Background: Proper Nutty is a Yorkshire brand and one of the very few brands making it’s own peanut butter right here in the UK.

The brand has two flavours: Nowt but Nuts and Slightly Salted but everything is SMUNCHY (a combination of smooth and crunchy) and in sustainable packaging. Like other brands we don’t use horrible palm oil and we only use one ingredient (plus a bit of salt if it’s that flavour)

Challenge: The peanut butter category is VERY BUSY with lots of brands trying to stand out in a unique way. We believe our product is the best but we need to get noticed to prove that. The brand currently looks a bit like a ‘baking brand’ but the intention is to focus on the everyday uses of peanut butter rather than just special occasions (e.g. on toast, porridge, smoothies, PB&J)

Other Considerations:

  • we want to stand-out against what other brands do not follow their lead

  • the brand is FUN/CHEEKY and doesn’t take itself too seriously but we DON’T want to see crudeness.

  • the current branding is quite safe & we can’t wait to see how the OMBLES bring this to life!!

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters featuring headlines and radio scripts to bring positive conversations around mental health to the world of football. #UnitedAgainstSuicide @theCALMzone

Today we’ve got an incredible opportunity to show the silky skills of the OMBLES and make some noise…literally… with Campaign Against Living Miserably. Since our last collab in 2018, our community has trebled in size and CALM have done lots of amazing work, with much of it being done around the world of football/soccer. To make as much impact as possible, we’ve also teamed up with Media City production agency, Kalua, who will be turning today’s winning idea into a fully-produced 30-second radio/audio advert!!

Today’s campaign is happening after we heard of the tragic story of Kyle Sekhon, who took his own life shortly after travelling to London to watch a football game recently.

The 23-year-old from the Forest of Dean was a passionate Chelsea FC supporter, and a Twitter campaign to give a minute's applause to honour him in the 23rd minute during their recent game against Wolves at Stamford Bridge drew widespread support. This was led by his uncle Kalveer, who shared these important words…

“It is important to bring the conversations around mental health to football stadiums, which are often a masculine space where emotions might not be so easily discussed.”
— Kalveer Heer

Katie Poole, an OMBassador, sadly witnessed the incident as it happened, and got in touch with us to see if we can help Kalveer to get that message out there as far and wide as possible ahead of the end of the Premier League season this Sunday. We will announce the brief winner at the kick-off time of 4pm.

“Mental health is a cause I have been passionate about for a very long time. It is my wish that no one should ever have to struggle alone, and that everyone should be aware of the help available to them if they find themselves in a dark place. Every single suicide, is one too many.

The idea for this brief was prompted by a very tragic event that I witnessed recently, which spurred me to try to start actioning my passion for this cause, alongside the OMBLEs. After the incident, I came across an article, discussing who the man in question was. The article provided words from his loved ones, predominantly about his kind character, but a comment from his uncle about the society-wide issue of mental health, and his wish to get conversations around mental health started in the football realm, stood out to me as something the OMB community could make a dent in, creating noise on Twitter and beyond.

Football grounds, or pubs showing football games, are places filled with people, who come together to watch the sport they love. This can present opportunity for relief, downtime, quality catch-ups with mates: that can be good for one’s mental health. It’s a chance for friends to look out for those they’re with, voice their support and look out for any displays of concerning behaviour, as well as for the person suffering to seek support from their close circle.”
— Katie Poole - OMBassador

Our One Minute Briefs Founder, Nick has shared some words below about his own past struggles. He has also written previously about these following his heart attack a few years ago and dealing with the constant pressures of running such a relentless community whilst at times enduring chronic pain.

“We are very proud to have put this brief together with CALM in a very short space of time to make it happen in the final week of the football season. I’m a huge advocate of the work that CALM do having experienced difficulties of my own, some of which, which have been shared in the links above. These can make it very easy to give up, but it’s important we get the message out that there is support out there to help you keep going and stay positive.

Football has always been a huge passion of mine, both playing and watching, and I’ve been to a lot more games recently as a big City fan. Although it’s a great distraction from the stresses of life, and can offer some solace when you need it, mates don’t often use the opportunity to talk about things they may be going through. So I hope all of the OMBLES will show their brilliance today with a wave of positivity across our feed and beyond to start the conversation.”
— Nick Entwistle - One Minute Briefs - Founder

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters featuring headlines and scripts to bring positive conversations around mental health to the world of football, in stadiums and beyond.

Prizes:

Today, sound is important, so bear in mind what we will be hearing from voiceover, to SFX, to music. We’ll make sure it’s pitch-perfect. We don’t want doom and gloom. We want the ideas to be overwhelmingly positive and reflect the team spirit and togetherness that football brings.

The winning entrant will work directly with Creative Director & OMB Founder, Nick Entwistle, to refine your idea into a full script and then work with Kalua and the CALM team to produce it.

Last time we did a script-based OMB, we beat Justin Bieber to Christmas Number 1, so who knows how big this could go. What’s the best that could happen?

The CALM Approach:

  • Make the conversation of suicide prevention inescapable

  • Create a sense of belonging 

  • Normalise feeling shit

  • Promote the right solutions

  • Celebrate life and living

About CALM

OVER TWO DECADES OF BEING THERE, NO MATTER WHAT

125 people a week die by suicide, CALM exists to change that. CALM’s been shouting about suicide prevention since 1997, when our life-saving helpline launched. Originally set up as an NHS pilot, the helpline started out in Merseyside, CALM’s became a national charity in 2006, meaning we could support people who needed us across the country.

We’ve come a long way since then, with momentous campaigns and calls for change, here’s just some of the stuff we’ve got up to. https://www.thecalmzone.net/our-story

Take a look at our latest film here:

WE STAND TOGETHER WITH THOSE STRUGGLING

Anyone can feel suicidal. So we need to be there for everyone. From advice on our website about issues you might be facing; through to free, confidential chats with our helpline staff, online or on the phone, we’re here for anyone who’s struggling, every single day of the year. No matter what.

Our helpline and webchat are open 365 days a year, offering practical suggestions for all of life’s problems - whether that’s anxiety, relationship concerns, health worries, money worries or suicidal thoughts. Our staff answer a call every 66 seconds - they listen, talk and help people struggling with life to make a plan so they can begin to look to the future.

WE STAND AGAINST SUICIDE

One suicide directly affects 135 people - leaving a lasting impact on family, friends, colleagues, neighbours and acquaintances.

We share stories in the hope that it might change someone’s mind. Covering the think twice moments, the turning points and sometimes, sadly, the memories of mates and loved ones lost to suicide.

Every story helps us highlight why we continue to Campaign Against Living Miserably. Whether you’ve been bereaved by suicide, or you’ve found yourself in a difficult space, we’re here to support.

WE STAND UP TO STEREOTYPES AND CHANGE THE CONVERSATION THROUGH OUR CAMPAIGNS

Through our campaigns we challenge stereotypes and challenge the stigma that prevents people talking about suicide. And we use music, sport, art and anything in between to get our message across and to help people find the strength to seek help.

From Project 84 to The Invisible Opponent, our campaigns create real impact, get people talking and, crucially, change the conversation. Working with some of the biggest organisations in the UK we’ve achieved amazing things, including the appointment of the world’s first ever minister for suicide prevention. And we have even bigger plans for the future.

WE STAND UNITED WITH COMMUNITIES

We’re uniting the UK against suicide. We spread our message by being in universities, pubs, clubs, football stadiums, and prisons across the country – so that people feel empowered to share their experiences and get the help they need before they reach the point of crisis.

We’re CALM and we stand together, united against suicide, with everyone in the UK.

Stand with us, join the campaign and together we can save more lives.

Today we have a very special brief in memory of a very special person and we want to spread her message in all sorts of creative, visual ways so I can’t wait to see how the OMBLES interpret this brief. Hope to see as many entries as possible today!! Winners will be announced this Sunday May 15th, the second anniversary of Ruby's death. So let’s make some noise and #LiveKindlyLiveLoudly!!

One Minute Brief of the Day:

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create visuals/posters that feature & bring to life the words of the motto 'Live Kindly Live Loudly' in all sorts of creative ways.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @KindlyLoudly with the hashtag #LiveKindlyLiveLoudly

Deadline 6pm BST. Remember to include your Twitter handle in the bottom right hand corner of your entries.

Enter as many times as you wish.

We’d love to feature some of the winning submissions on merchandise (T-shirts, bags, cards etc) to raise funds for cancer research in 18 year old Ruby's memory. And, it would be amazing to use as many entries as poss as part of the brilliant submissions as part of a 'Postcards for Ruby' fundraiser later this year.

Prizes:

  • 1st: £100 cash plus a goody bag of Live Kindly Live Loudly products - a silver necklace by Charlotte Mari hand stamped with 'Live Kindly Live Loudly', a tote bag, tea towel a set of greeting cards and badge. PLUS samples of the merchandise produced with the design!

  • 2nd: A chunky silver ring by Elly Harvey hand stamped with 'Live Kindly Live Loudly'

  • 3rd: A set of Live Kindly Live Loudly cards, tea towel and mug, featuring designs by Ruby's friends.

About Ruby & the Campaign

Ruby Fuller died of T-cell leukaemia on 15 May 2020, aged just 18. Before she died she asked that, in her memory, her family and friends raise funds for research into more effective and kinder cures for blood cancer. She also asked to be remembered by the motto 'Live Kindly Live Loudly'; she believed kindness is more important than anything, and the 'loudly' bit is about calling out injustice and standing up for what you believe in. We raise funds through selling merchandise that features her logo - and would love some new designs to use. Blood cancer kills around 150 children and young people each year in the UK and we want to change that. So we've set up the Ruby 'Live Kindly Live Loudly' fund with the charity Childrens Cancer & Leukaemia Group with a goal of raising £500,000 for research (roughly how much the NHS spent trying to save her). So far we've raised over £130k.

Ruby's story has featured in the media in recent months around the #Partygate scandal, as she died on the day of the infamous Number 10 'cheese & wine' party. This has included CNN, Sky News, BBC Woman's Hour and Panorama. People have really responded to her motto and we'd love to capitalise on the interest by producing some more products that people can buy to raise money for her fund.

One Minute Brief of the day: Create posters to bring to life #BroadbandAsItShouldBe to celebrate the launch of the brilliant new Internet Service Provider @Be_Fibre

The UK broadband scene is bursting with promises of supersonic, ultra-fast, gigafast, full fibre broadband – but don’t you ever just wish you could enjoy #BroadbandAsItShouldBe?

Enter, @Be_Fibre.

To celebrate the launch of this disruptive Internet Service Provider brand, we’re enlisting the power of the OMBLE hivemind to bring to life the notion of Broadband as it should Be.

Go WILD with your ideas OMBLES, because we want to see how you'd bring this to life. Think billboards, memes, sketches, headlines, or you might even have an idea for a mascot like some of those other broadband providers!!

One Minute Brief of the day:

Create posters to bring to life #BroadbandAsItShouldBe to celebrate the launch of the brilliant new Internet Service Provider @Be_Fibre

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs and @Be_Fibre with the hashtag #BroadbandAsItShouldBe

Remember to include your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your entries. Get as creative as you like and enter as many times as you wish. Deadline 6pm BST.



Prizes:

1st Prize: £300

2nd Prize: £200

3rd Prize: £100




The brief

Picture this: you’re ready to submit possibly the finest OMB you’ve ever created, but just as you prepare to hit ‘send’, your housemate decides to download the new instalment of Ozark and the ‘not responding’ wheel of doom rears its ugly head. 

We know, it’s too heart-breaking to imagine. But bear with us.

Today’s OMB is all about raising awareness of ‘Broadband as it should Be’ – courtesy of disruptive Alt-Net, BeFibre.


Striving to be known as the broadband provider that keeps its promises, BeFibre is on a mission to provide full fibre broadband access to 1,000,000 UK premises, over the next six years – across 80 towns and cities.

The fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) network will offer download and upload speeds up to 13 times faster - up to 900Mbps - than the fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) coverage that currently spans most of the UK. Think the ability to upload 100 Instagram photos in five seconds, download a 1-hour TV programme in seven seconds or an entire new-release PS5 game in only 14 minutes.

The Alt-Net is providing local communities with a fit-for-the-future infrastructure that delivers the guaranteed speeds people need now and for years to come – through a brand-new network that will leave a positive legacy in society.

What’s more, BeFibre exists to change the perception that the broadband market is full of broken promises when it comes to speed, reliability and customer service. 

Some interesting insight that might help

💡 The UK has the 5th largest global economy and yet when it comes to broadband, we’re 48th for internet service provider download speeds according to World Population Review – way behind leaders Monaco, Singapore and Hong Kong.

💡 You may be paying for what you believe to be full fibre broadband (FTTP) but if the fibre stops at the green cabinet at the side of your road, it will still travel down the old copper wire on its way to your house. 

Use our speed tester to find out.

What is BeFibre’s elevator pitch?

BeFibre exists to deliver an empowering and fulfilling broadband experience based upon keeping every promise we make. We want to change the perception that the broadband market is full of broken promises when it comes to speed, reliability and customer service. 

We want to positively influence how communities live, work and play.

What are some of BeFibre’s core values?

🌐 Better network

Our full fibre really is full fibre - a connection right to your door - so customers enjoy the connectivity they pay for, not merely a proportion of it.



🗣 Better communication

How many consumers know what Mbps they really need? Who understands FTTC vs FTTP? We’re here to 'ungeek the speak' and believe in being honest, clear, transparent, and educative at all times, to help customers make better broadband choices. 


💥Better experience

This future-proofed network is already here, providing the speed, reliability and service you need, now. We adopt an unusually consultative approach to help customers select the broadband package they actually need.



🌱Better growth

BeFibre prioritises sustainable, ethical growth. We care about customer satisfaction throughout the whole lifecycle of the relationship – and won't grow by locking people into bundles. Positive word of mouth matters far more than that.


Put simply, we do what we say we're going to. We'll never knowingly make a promise we can't keep. There won't be unexpected price hikes. We're a real business, with ethics, and we want to leave a positive legacy in society.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to remind sunseekers that your summer jollies are the REAL #MostWonderfulTimeoftheYear with @OnTheBeachUK 🛫🏝

Let’s face it, we’ve all seen or heard that advert with a Christmas song still running in May. Well, whether you love the song choice or not, the message is pretty clear - holidays are the REAL most wonderful time of the year (and you know it!)

The advert, of course, is for On the Beach Holidays.

We’ve been SO excited to announce this team-up between OMB and OTB for far too long, but now the day has finally come OMBLES, and we can't wait to see what you do with today’s brief (and maybe even win yourself a holiday…)

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to remind sunseekers that your summer jollies are the REAL #MostWonderfulTimeoftheYear 🛫🏝

Mention @OneMinuteBriefs & @OnTheBeachUK in your entries along with the hashtags #OntheBeachHolidays & #MostWonderfulTimeoftheYear

Tweet as many entries as you like and don’t forget to include your Twitter handle in the corner of your submissions. Deadline 6pm.


Prizes:

  • WINNER: £750 holiday voucher + free fast track & lounge

  • 3rd: Prize bundle of branded OTB merch


About:

Keep palm folks, we know: everyone loves a holiday and, luckily for you, the guys over at On the Beach are committed to making your jollies even jollier.

As On the Beach are experts when it comes to your holibobs, they know that - as much as we love Christmas-time - when it comes to our favourite time of year, it’s DEFINITELY our holidays. The sun, the sea, the bottomless G&T *chefs kiss*

That’s where the OMBLES come in…. 

How will you bring to life how your summer jollies are the REAL most wonderful time of the year?

We’re looking forward to seeing all of your typically brilliant, instinctive interpretations of this brief!

Why On the Beach think holidays are the most wonderful time of the year:

It’s a time when the rules are relaxed, caution is thrown to the wind, and life’s simplest pleasures are truly indulged in. Sunshine (and sod it, a bit of sunburn), beers before noon, ice cream on tap (if it falls on the floor, no tears, just get another).

Eating the local food at a pavement cafe in the old square without worrying about rain or fumes from the no.42 bus, snoozes whenever they take your fancy, one of those strange embroidered bracelets you only wear on holiday and a henna tattoo you’d never get away with at home.

Knock-off Gucci bags for a few Euros, friends made fast that may or may not last a lifetime and, no matter how old you are, staying up way past your usual bedtime. The list goes on.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters of all shapes and sizes to get people to thinking about @ao as their #DestinationForElectricals

If I say AO, you’re probably going to say, ‘Let’s Go’ and whilst saliency is great, people knowing what you actually do and how you do it in a better and more consistent way than the rest is what we’re looking for.  

We’re an electrical retailer with a lot of personality (and even more products) but in what are very often rational purchases we lack an emotional connection with shoppers, which if the truth be told, makes us a bit forgettable!

And that’s where the OMBLES come in… we can’t wait to see how you interpret this brief in all sorts of instinctive, creative ways!!

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters of all shapes and sizes to get people to thinking about @ao as their #DestinationForElectricals

Enter as many times as you like and remember to add your Twitter handle in the corner of your entries. Deadline 6pm!

Prizes:

1st - £500 worth of products from ao.com

Key things to consider:

  • Knowledge of the AO brand is high, but consideration is much lower

  • 1 in 5 people are unsure what we sell

  • Our belief that AO is the better way to buy electricals is based on the below:

    • We are the UK’s most trusted electrical retailer with over 330,000 5* TrustPilot reviews

    • We have over 6,500 electricals in stock. We’re not just appliances, we have A-Z covered, big and small, needs and wants, Fridges to Fitbits. If it’s got a plug, we sell it.

    • We deliver; tomorrow, the day after or week on Tuesday between 10am – 2pm (if that’s what you want), in fact 7 days a week with timeslots to suit busy lives

How we present ourselves:

Our brand guidelines can be found here; https://brand.ao.com/d/HKL56SfkgfJd

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters that bring to life how concrete is getting leaner, meaner, greener and is infinitely recyclable. @Holcim #EarthDay #ConcreteRocks

Concrete has been around since the Romans and is the second most consumed material in the world after water.

But did you know it is also infinitely recyclable, can capture CO2 and could help warm your home by storing energy?

So today, we’re delighted to be teaming up with the OMBLES to tell the world on #EarthDay!!

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Help us take perceptions of concrete from stone age to new age.

Create posters that bring to life how concrete is getting leaner, meaner, greener and is infinitely recyclable. #EarthDay #ConcreteRocks

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs and @Holcim with the hashtags #EarthDay and #ConcreteRocks

Enter as many times as you wish and make sure you put your Twitter handle in the corner of submissions.

Deadline 6pm GMT.

Prizes:

WINNER: £300 cash!!!

Runner-Up: £200 cash!!!

3rd Place: £150 cash!!!

Here’s a few other things you may not know about concrete:

♻️ It’s insulating, available everywhere and can be used again and again.

Holcim’s ECOPact green concrete contains up to 95% recycled raw materials.

🔥 It is resilient, durable, fire and earthquake resistant, protecting our cities and infrastructure from natural disasters.

Concrete has a vital role to play in climate-resilient construction.

 🌎 It naturally absorbs CO2 during its lifespan, recapturing up to 25% of the carbon emitted during its production.

The ECOPact range also has 30% to 100% less carbon emissions compared to standard concrete.

🏘️ It’s versatile and affordable.



Is it any wonder it’s been around so long?

But concrete is caught between a rock and a hard place. The construction sector accounts for 38% of the world’s CO₂ emissions.

It’s estimated that 70% of the world population will be living in cities by 2050, adding 2.5 billion people.

Our industry needs to decarbonize fast.

At Holcim we are determined to prove the carbon footprint of concrete and construction is far from set in stone.

  • We are shifting to circular construction 

  • Creating concrete that is leaner, meaner and greener.

  • Searching for solutions to make our industry more sustainable – like 3D printing using 70% less materials, and recycling building waste into our products

  • Working on innovations like breakthrough energy storage solution that could heat our homes

We want to leave concrete’s bad rep in the stone age and show it can be part of a new age – of circularity and building greener.

Help us smash the myths around this strong and versatile material and carve a new story based on concrete facts not fiction.
