We are delighted to have worked closely with the University of Sheffield Management School to produce a suite of newspaper advertising. Despite being a very exciting project, there is always an uncertainty around the quality of reproduction in newspaper print. Not to fear, the clever designers at Vivid made sure everything went smoothly and much to my surprise, I came across the advert in the Guardian Money supplement at a B&B in Robin Hoods Bay whilst recovering from the Coast 2 Coast cycle ride!

Over the bank holiday weekend, Gerry cycled 325km (with over 3,000m of ascent) from St Bees to Whitby to raise funds to help find a cure for Huntington's Disease.

During a recent visit to our client Bridgedale, we were totally immersed in outdoor techinical socks and the fascinating production process...

A fantastic view from Scrabo Tower to end the day!

Working for one of the funniest brands in the World saw the Vivid studio turn into a comedy theatre as we were keen to immerse ourselves in the business and culture by breaking out the wigs, face paint and zany costumes! Vivid were tasked with producing themed identities, campaign assets and packaging for over 30 product categories which we delivered seamlessly and effectively, much to the surprise of the in-house design team! ROI was instantaneous with new key accounts secured globally.

Bijou Boutique:

Bijou Boutique was a new brand Vivid created to target the high end of the 'dress up' market, with outfits more suited to a raunchy adult party or Friday nights out. The boutique feel to the brand was achieved through the use of dramatic photography. We've never known a photoshoot to be so much fun... serious fun!

The Vivid offices are now closed. Wishing all of our customers a very merry Christmas and happy New Year.

When British Gypsum approached Vivid to launch their new product, Glasroc H Tilebacker (a water resistant tilebacking board for bathrooms, kitchens and high moisture areas) Vivid responded by giving birth to Freddie the Frog! Putting the loveable character to one side, our strategic workshops delivered a unique positioning for the product differentiating it in the market place: It's a water barrier, not a time barrier.

The campaign was aimed at DIYer's...

Tilers and the trade...

An integrated and highly targeted campaign launch ensued. Vivid delivered elements across the marketing mix including an 'it's a knockout' internal launch event, web pages within the main British Gypsum website, a water-sensitive direct mail piece, twist lock counter top dispensers with installation guide, pallet corners, corporate folder and brochure, powerpoint presentation slides, web banners, email signatures and a host of other promotional merchandise.
