Campaign generates loads of new business for Hanson

Hanson Mixed Loads

Our creative for Hanson’s multi-product campaign has generated some exceptional results, which at the end of the day is what it’s all about. Design effectiveness is key. Hanson said: “the multi-product offer has been very well received in the market and has led to us taking on quite a few new customers, gaining 18k tonnes of new business. I think we can regard this as a success!”. Absolutely.

Chloe’s Coast to Coast Adventure

May 1st, 2012

If you like sheep, hills, grass, English weather, tight lycra and the North, then I’m delighted to tell you the Coast to Coast bike ride is for you! I’d know, I cycled all 170 miles of it over 3 days, raising money for Cancer Research.

Whilst cycling from Morecambe to Bridlington, I learnt a few things:

  1. England has lots and lots and lots of sheep
  2. Sunglasses tinted orange make everything look like the Maldives, if the Maldives were quaint Northern villages with streams, lambs and all that country stuff
  3. England has lots and lots of hills/mountains – “Get the JCB, we’re digging a tunnel”
  4. Hail hurts when you’re cycling into it in shorts
  5. If you’re on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown, eat a flapjack.

But at the end, when you see the sea and nearly ride full pelt into the sign, you feel spectacular. Like a superhero, complete with spangly lycra.

E.ON holds record-breaking Rampion events

April 27th, 2012

We were recently briefed by E.ON to produce various materials for the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm community consultation. The 12 events took place over an eight-week period and we’ve just been down to sunny Brighton for the final one.

This is the largest community consultation E.ON has ever undertaken, communicating with the whole of Sussex, all of which we mailed! If approved, the wind farm could have up to 195 offshore turbines off the coast of Brighton & Hove, making it one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world.

Our client Chris was extremely pleased with the materials and the success of the events.

“Thank you all for putting in the extra time and effort to make this consultation such a success.  We’ve most certainly succeeded in putting together a fantastic suite of materials for promoting the events to a wide audience. We’ve had a record-breaking 4,511 people to the events, which is fantastic!”

We’re chuffed to bits that the events have gone so well and for the lovely feedback!

New website is the icing on the cake

April 27th, 2012

As well as creating an identity for Lacey Cake Co we’ve also been busy designing a new website for them, which has recently gone live! It’s the icing on the cake (excuse the pun) for owner Sarah Lacey who said: “Having an effective website is really important to the success of my business. I didn’t want anything over-complicated and what Michon created for me is perfect. It’s simple yet beautifully designed and totally embodies the Lacey Cake Co. brand.”.

Hi I’m Malcolm – and my first impressions of Michon are…

April 25th, 2012

I’ve got to say I love the underfloor heating, it’s so much nicer than the kennels where I was staying. The Michon team have been so nice to me on my first day at the office, but it’s been pretty exhausting getting round them all for a fuss – there’s so many of them – I’m pooped. But now I’ve got my own dog blog I just want to take this opportunity to thank Su and Kerry for rescuing me and giving me a comfy new home. Afterall, the Michon gig is just my day job – I think it’s in my contract and dog description to meet and greet – I’m pretty good at that. Anyway, drop by and see me and the rest of the team soon.
