Sukle Makes a Splash With Denver Water [Agency Props]

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

In the past “Use Only What You Need” campaigns have really worked in Denver. Denver Water had a goal of lowering water use 21% in 10 years, and in just two they’ve already lowered it 20%. So, this year they spent time re-emphasizing the base idea of using only what you need (i.e. don’t waste)  and Sukle Advertising did a great job spreading the message.

They introduced some simple conservation tips, such as not watering between 10am and 6pm and Utalized just about every media outlet possible including a couple 10 second bumpers. Watch them here and here.

They most exciting part of the campaign are the creative outdoor billboards, non-traditional street teams and rarely seen super market conveyor belt advertising. A new ad space that is growing.

Good luck Denver Water and nice work Sukle!

Once again thanks Ad’s of the World for the lead.

Stop by Sukle’s blog and see what they have going on.

Green Cement Trucks Unveil With Hippie Graphics

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Concrete companies are among the nation’s most energy-intensive but are tackling their poor reputation head on with a symbolic move from diesel to natural gas-powered cement mixers.

A fleet of the “green” mixers, wrapped in colourful flower-power designs, took to the streets in Australia yesterday to promote Boral’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.

Thanks for the link Ad’sThe Australian - Thanks for the Copy.

Remembering the 80’s Party @ Wrigley Mansion

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Click image above for more pictures!!

bluemedia was a proud sponsor of the radical “remembering the 80s party” last friday night held at the Wrigely Mansion. Our Brand director took some of our favorite 80s icons and made them into totally tubular signage for the event. Awesome images including Poison, Mr. T  and Ms Pacman blended right in with all the acid washed denim and shoulder pads. All the proceeds from the party were donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation…who knew charity work could be so bitchin’?

MadMen takes over NYC Subway

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

The New York subway system takes full advantage of their ad space by selling it to AMC to promote the 2nd season of MadMen.

Madmen is a show about advertising based in the 60’s. Being a fan of the AMC series this application of adhesive vinyl brings a smile to my face. It’s undoubtetly the best subway transformation I have ever seen.

Here’s a great opportunity for Bloomingdale’s to capitalize on the promotion. Offering up their window displays to promote the show, with their spin of course using modern fashions from Theory. As Michael Kors showed us last week in his MadMen inspire runway show, cross promotion for this series has set the bar to a whole new level.

Gawker thanks for pointing us here.

Mr. T - back in Action…

Snickers Mr. T

Uh oh. The cause group for…speedwalkers is going to get their jockstraps in a twist over this new AMV BBDO-created Get Some Nuts commercial for Snickers in which Mr. T, atop a Mad Max-style pick up truck, shoots Snicker bars at a speedwalker using a Gatling gun. While hurling bars at the walker, Mr. T lets lose his usual “I pity the fool” tirade telling the walker he’s a “disgrace to the man race” and that it’s time to “run like a real man.”

While most would prefer to rid the streets of these goofy walkers for fear they will unduly influence their children into adopting the goofiness that is speedwalking, it won’t be surprising if some speedwalking fanatics make their way to Mars headquarters and slingshot, en mass, their jockstraps at the building pummeling executives into submission.

bluemedia teamed up with the Arizona State Bass Fishing  Team to create a bad-ass fishing boat that traveled from Tempe, AZ to Arkansas for the competition.

Boat graphics have become the new wave of  creative branding across the nation and bluemedia is not afraid to share the love when it comes to designing, printing, and installing these watersport monsters.
