Last year we developed an internal campaign for E.ON to encourage staff to live a greener lifestyle and  reduce energy usage and waste throughout their UK offices. We didn’t want it to feel too corporate so we took a more humorous approach and the campaign was designed to play on people’s conscience. It included an online quiz which rated people as an environmental Saint or a Sinner and supporting printed collateral around E.ON offices. The ‘Saint or Sinner?’ campaign has been a huge success and was entered into the Green Awards 2008 by E.ON. We are now pleased to say that it’s just been shortlisted to the top three!

There were 25 entries in total for the category ‘Best Green Internal Communications’  and E.ON is in the running against Nokia and Centrica. You can see more on the Green Awards website at: Green Awards. The awards ceremony will be held on 12th November in London – fingers crossed!

We’re currently working on a Christmas campaign for E.ON centred around the same ‘Saint or Sinner?’ concept so watch this space…

Not that we’re obsessed with chocolate but we definitely think this could come in handy in an emergency! The Swiss Army Knife is clearly an iconic piece of design so a Swiss chocolate version makes perfect sense to us. It could be the perfect stocking filler this Christmas!

Since the launch of E.ON’s stand at the British Wind Energy Association exhibition last week, the project has been featured on The DRUM, you can read all about it here:

This week sees the first outing for E.ON Climate and Renewables’ stand at 2008’s British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) exhibition at ExCell in London’s Docklands. We beat three other agencies to design and build a stand to showcase E.ON’s impressive work for renewables.

We were asked to create an open-plan, contemporary stand that would wow visitors at the 30th BWEA exhibition. The stand will serve as a platform to publicly demonstrate E.ON’s expertise and large-scale investment in renewable technology, educating visitors about onshore and offshore wind farms, marine and biomass technologies.

We’ve incorporated E.ON’s requirement for a modular construction into its design, allowing E.ON to use sections of the stand at smaller events. The stand also uses touch-screen technology to encourage visitor interaction and engage attendees in learning about E.ON’s portfolio of renewable technologies.

Our new building has recently been nominated for the Nottingham Evening Post’s Regeneration Project Award! We worked with Allan Joyce to breathe new life into our building which was once a school, a cinema, and the church hall. It’s now called the “The Old School Rooms” and you can read about the nomination on the Evening Post’s website – apparently we’re a design Mecca!
