Sydney Royal Easter Show 2013

The NSW Food Authority asked Splash to design their stand for the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2013.  The task was to create communication pieces that leveraged the online “Food Poisoning” campaign we created in 2012.  The theme centred around food poisoning, and providing key tips to consumers regarding food safety. Our services for this particular task included giving guidance on the overall theme of the stand (look and feel), right down to the colours of the wall and the iPad holders.

Our design team created posters for key food safety tips as well as conceiving an exciting Facebook promotion to drive Facebook likes and engage the audience via social media. The promotion was called Key Tips Pix, with the prize being a Weber barbecue.

150 Years Old And A New Website

Splash is delighted to launch the new website for an ‘old’ firm that can trace its roots back to 1863. Pigotts sought a fresh dynamic website to favourably differentiate and promote itself in the legal marketplace, while reflecting its impressive 150 year foundations.
Splash provided sound strategy in helping promote the firm’s value proposition. The website informs and educates existing clients, as well as help attract new clients. The site is also an effective employer-branding tool, designed to help retain existing staff and attract potential staff.
The site is engineered to track viewers and capture leads. It is also search optimized to promote traffic to the site via SEO, Adwords, rich content, blogs, and social media.

 

 

 

 

Food Poisioning Viral Video

The brief to Splash was to raise awareness and inform consumers on the causes, biology and mechanics of food poisoning, and implications for identifying the source, thereby dispelling some common myths (eg cause of illness is the last thing eaten out of home).
It was critical to position NSW Food Authority as experts in understanding, managing and responding to foodborne illness reports And they wanted to Splash to create a compelling, engaging video that stimulates sharing of the resource on social networks.
This viral piece takes the form of an animated video. This approach takes a linear journey starting with the source and causes of food poisoning, moving into the effects of poisoning and concluding with risk minimisation tips.
The style is animated stock motion using still imagery, giving us an opportunity to produce this video for a modest budget. We use customary icons that you would associate with food poisoning namely cutting boards, dinner plates and food itself. And it’s all tied together with a concept revolving around ‘carrots’, the customary item that people often confront when they vomit from food poisoning.

Marketing Canbera’s Big Merger

Splash was tasked with facilitating the merger of 2 prominent law firms in Canberra, Bradley Allen and Williams, Love, Nicol. Our assistance commenced with the brand strategy all the way through to a newly designed website.
The biggest challenge was acknowledging the individual brand attributes and values of the respective firms and building a brand that reflected not just the shared aspects of the two, but also the attributes of the merged entity.
The first challenge was a combined name that adequately respected each firm’s heritage. What ensued was a brand and logo identity process, print communications, online communications and a new website, that is simple and stylish.
