Introducing . . . MEAN MUG!

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Our newest addition to the bluemedia fleet – Mean Mug! This cart is soooooo handy. From setting up events or even hauling signs and banners to our vehicles. Mean Mug has many uses. You are probably asking Mean Mug . . . WTF? Everybody at bluemedia has some character and our vehicles are no exception. If you’ve seen our SWAT Truck wrapped with a flaming skull on it, then you’ll understand! A few weeks after Mean’s arrival we noticed how the front of the cart had the features of a face, mainly the eyes. From that point on, Brand Director – Chris Keal transformed the modern looking electric cart into a vehicle with a face. So I leave you with a quote from our veteran sales rep Andy Salcido “That is BAD ASS”

Made You Look!

Apeldoorn bellen creates the most famous insurance campaigns in the Netherlands. Everybody knows Apeldoorn. This vehicle graphic ad has no contact info on it. No phone numbers or website, just advertising at it’s best!

I’m sure this wrap design breaks all sorts of street laws here in the United States and even some in Amsterdam, but really cares! Bravo DDB!

A Little Generosity Can Build a Hero

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

It’s not often the design team can contribute to new business development but occasionally we do.

Last week I ordered breakfast from The Hero Factory a new breakfast/lunch destination at the Orpheum Lofts building on 1st Ave and Adams in downtown phoenix. Jay and Nicole the owners of The Hero Factory have owned and operated delis in New York for over 30 years. They have been welcomed by the downtown business crowd by serving up over 350 daily lunch customers.

After telling them about bluemedia the brainstorming began. Jay told me his vision of a Times Square wall mural that would work perfectly in the space. I returned the next day with a sales packet and told them to think about it.

Over the weekend bluemedia held it’s annual Spring Cleaning!! YAY! About 30 employees were on hand to help move, reorganize, and get dirty. As I was throwing away old end rolls and sample materials I came across a few Floor Graphic samples. They were giant NYC sewer manhole covers that have been collecting dust for years. Remembering my recent visit to the New York Style Hero Factory I held back 2 of the samples.

The following weekday I gave Jay and Nicole the graphics and gave them a squeegee vinyl application tool and told them to , WORK IT OUT. They immediately applied both of the graphics and customers have been raving. What is really funny is that many of our downtown clients like Wells Fargo, The Business Journal, Suns, Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Police Department will probably eat lunch there and recognize our work.

What could have been just a friendly relationship, turned out to be a new business lead and free advertising, all for gifting some free material that was headed for the dumpster anyway.

Google Offices Zurich

Friday, April 4th, 2008

We thought the creative team at bluemedia had a cool working environment, which we do. I think Google is straight just showing off now. With their stock at $471 up 15 pts from yesterday they can definitely afford to have wifi hammooks, therapy area’s and cable car conference rooms. Quit drooling . . .

Hey all of us here at bluemedia can’t complain we are rocking our projector for the xbox 36o, guitar hero and hosting the occasional Madden Football Tournament. As of lately we are all fired up about ping pong. We dusted off the old ping pong conference table and revived it with a stiga net, paddles and balls. Oh we’re bring’in it, step aside google! In the mean time check out the rest of this kick ass office.

Check out the rest of the photos here.

This one is the biggest ad in Russia. It’s square size is more than one and a half acres! (6000 m2). It is situated in the center of Moscow city and has a few full size real BMW’s stuck to it, with back lights and headlights on in the evening.

Light Saber Transit Ad

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Pretty cool bus stop ad that lights up at night – the caption says “Use Only In Case of Sith” which is kind of clever.
