‘Put Some Colour In Your Cricket’ Campaign

On Friday I attended the ‘Put Some Colour in your Cricket’ marketing campaign press launch. For those of you who have been living in a hole and don’t know Affixxius created this, here’s the background.

Basically, we were asked by Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club to create a marketing campaign around their Twenty20 season, which will hopefully increase attendance. The primary objective for them was to also have a video that could play on their ginormous screen on the game nights to pump the crowd up. Therefore, we came up with a number of concepts and eventually committed to ‘Put Some Colour in your Cricket’. I think its fairly obvious that Twenty20 is a very colourful part of the game, so we created something that was viusally exciting and that would transfer to print also.

We were very fortunate to get the shoot covered by Sky Sports and East Midlands Today and on Friday, they came along again to witness the final piece on the big screen at the Broadway Cinema in Nottingham. It was an awesome event to attend which also had Stuart Broad, Dirk Nannes, Chris Reid and of course Samit Patel there to speak to the media and back the campign. The final video can be seen on the Notts Outlaws website right now: www.nottsccc.co.uk (and just click on the video link on the right hand side).

Another key part of this project was the production of advertising posters, billboards, bus posters, postcards and bookmarks. The graphic design arm of Affixxius Productions has steadily been growing for a number of years now and this county wide advertising campaign was a great opportunity for us to stretch our muscles and really show off. I have to admit, the designs look amazing and Garry (our designer) did a fantastic job!

So just remember, Affixxius Productions put the colour in the cricket.

Cricket is full of colour

Take a look at our studio from when we filmed Samit Patel smashing paint filled ‘cricket balls’ as part of the advertising for twenty20 at Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club.  Not only did the walls get covered, so did half the crew, a few sandwiches and a sticky bun.  It was such good fun.  

Remember - Corporate Video has changed.

Great successes despite the climate!

Corporate Video Has Changed- www.affixxius.com- The home of video production!

Hello all, just a quick note from the ‘S&M’ desk here at the hub of video production in the Midlands! Its almost the last day of a very busy week (as usual) and I offer my ‘week in the life of a Sales and Marketing Manager’ blog.

With the sad demise of one of the biggest media companies in the Midlands- THA Group- last Friday, and the relationships we had within, the weekend started less than perfectly! After a quick- coffee and pastries based- creative innovation team meeting on Sunday morning the week started better!

Monday morning saw the final touches being added to a major tender for the DCSF, and a great meeting with our super-car client Zytek in the afternoon, amongst many other new developments. Tuesday and Wednesday were both spent talking to new clients about extensive projects helping them to shout about themselves without spending a fortune (see www.affixxius.com/propoint) which went very well indeed.

Today, we plan the biggest mailshot of all time! there is so much we need to so many people- about thirty thousand people in fact! Tomorrow- who knows!  All in, video production is alive and well in Leicester, and indeed in the UK, and Switzerland and luxembourg and Mauritius and Ghana and………

Living out of a bag

Corporate Video Has Changed

As my title of the blog suggests, I / we have been pretty much living out of suitcases and the company car. We have a had a record amount of filming days in June already and there is still another week and a half of filming days to go, to see us in to July. A lot of this work has been through the Affixxius Education arm of the business and it appears school promotional videos are high in demand. If you would like to see what we have done so far on school promotional video front just pop over to our other website www.affixxius.com/education . I’m hoping the new videos for Ripon College, in Yorkshire and Burleigh College in Loughborough will be up within the next week, so have a look on there for some ‘hot off the suite’ work. You may also notice we have re-vamped that website, turning it into more of a resource in terms of other video products we can offer to the education market and a specific area in which we can show off specifically our education videos.

This month we have also launched our brand new product ProPoint. We have for many years trying to find a way in which we could offer cost efficient video to the masses, without cutting the corners of quality. To find out more we have created a ProPoint video about what ProPoint is, just visit www.affixxius.com/propoint . These start from as little as £1750 and are an excellent starting video for any company of any size. This website is currently being worked on as we speak and will be ready to launch in a months time, so watch that space for even more information about the Future of Presenting, ProPoint.

As you can tell by the lack of blogs and the fact I’m typing this on a Friday night, time has been a bit of a luxury of late and I am only scratching the surface of the sheer amount of work I could talk about. I would like to mention that a new Camping and Caravanning Club video has been completed and on their website and our You Tube page and also there’s a second BlackCircles.com video been completed, which will be on their front page in no time. There will be some new videos uploaded to our website soon and lots more news of our next adventure to Switzerland, where apprently we are camping and hiking in the mountains for a couple of days….and who says corporate video is boring!
