ON THE JOB

 
Our long standing client, The Scotsman, for whom we have created award winning, multi-execution recruitment, subscription and scotsman.com campaigns over the last few years, has let us go mad, creatively, over the past few months.   
As a result we are really proud of our new multi-media campaign for Scotsman.com/jobs. 
Our campaign, which will run over the next four months, includes [...]

STIRLING WORK

A tough brief.  A tight deadline. Two failed shots at the brief from rival agencies.
Hardly a recipe for success, right?
Wrong.
Having cracked the brief over the weekend with copy deadlines looming and basking in the glow of a large thumbs up from the client, the 60 Watt creatives set about the invidious task of putting a multi execution [...]

Think global. Act local.

We were racking our brains, trying to thinking of something new to put up on the blog when we realised there was a big new client win we’d forgotten to announce.

WIRED.

We’re all zipping around the place like coke-crazed rappers, courtesy of our new client, Go Fast energy shots.

A Scotsperson’s (holiday) home is his (or her) castle

The ad shown above is part of a new campaign we’re particularly proud of for our latest client, Cottages and Castles. 
Obviously, it’s advertising the castles bit of their offering and tackling a common misconception held by would-be customers.
Renting a castle is expensive.

You can always rely on Frenchie

Helene set off for a meeting at 9.00 this morning and came back five minutes later having forgotten the Pantone book she needed for the meeting.
“When you’ve got no head, you’ve got legs; as  my Dad always says” she declared, happy as Larry.
Right.

IT’S A WAR OUT THERE, FINAL EPISODE.

And now, the end is near and so we face the final curtain (enough, already – Ed).
Yup, it’s VE day for our war-themed 60 Watt house advertising campaign and the final ad in the series is in this morning’s Scotsman as I write (nice position too, thanks guys!). 
You really should see it in the paper, [...]
