Stuff has designed a new website for leading near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy company, Aunir www.aunir.co.uk

The distinctive yellow-and-black site reflects the company’s new corporate identity and follows on from other recent projects, including exhibition stands and corporate giveaways.

As well as news, company information, a private area for clients and details of its suppliers worldwide, the new site provides details of Aunir’s range of software solutions for NIR. The site was built by Techdept www.techdept.co.uk

Chris Piotrowski, Director, Aunir, says:

“We are delighted with the contemporary look and feel of our new website. It clearly positions us as a leading developer and supplier of NIR software – and explains the different ways our solutions can ‘make light work’ to test the nutritional, chemical and physical composition of ingredients and products.”

We’re pleased to announce that we picked up a creative award at Cream Midlands 2011 for our Better By Bike campaign, part of the Cycling City project. We were nominated for two awards and were proud to take home a bronze for the ‘best ad on a mobile medium’ – the only award given in that category. The ceremony took place in Birmingham and was attended by a number of the finest agencies from the Midlands, South West & Wales.

Stuff has created an advertising campaign to encourage people to swap their cars for pedal power.

Commissioned by the University of West of England, as part of the region’s Cycling City project, the campaign aims to communicate cycling as an attractive way of getting about.

“The research undertaken by UWE showed that people were most interested in the sense of freedom cycling gave them. Riding a bike makes people think back to their childhood and this allowed us to concentrate on the more positive and fun aspects of cycling.” explained Stuff Creative Director, Richard Spruce.

“Everyone knows that cycling is good for you and more environmentally friendly. We’re not expecting people to give up their cars completely but we wanted to show the enjoyment you get from cycling.”

The work will run on buses, adshels, door drops and in the regional press.

The latest phase of Stuff’s campaign for Miss Millie’s has gone live and sees the local fried chicken brand advertising on buses
for the first time. The single deck megarears will be appearing in Bristol, Weston and Cardiff and will run for the next 12 months. These will be supported by streetliners and other outdoor media throughout the year. The creative promotes some exciting
new directions for Miss Millie’s including Peri-Peri grilled chicken and home delivery, which is available from a number of
their stores, via www.just-eat.co.uk. The campaign was planned by Stuff’s Media Director, Louise Wigmore, and booked
through CBS outdoor.

Stuff has recently relocated to new dockside premises in the centre of Bristol. You can now find us on the Top Floor of Mariner House, 62 Prince Street, Bristol BS1 4QD.

The move will allow the agency to grow and fulfill our expansion plans, part of which are already in place with our digital offering now ‘in-house’.

The new open-plan office is wonderfully bright and spacious and the extra room means we also have space for anyone looking to rent a desk from us. We are particularly interested in working with like-minded businesses and individuals we can collaborate with on new and existing clients.

If you would like to work in a vibrant, creative atmosphere please get in touch with us to arrange a meeting.

Bristol based Stuff Advertising has launched a new outdoor campaign for local fast food chain Miss Millie’s, including 48 sheets, 6 sheets and Kiosks. It will be the first time Miss Millie’s has ever advertised outdoors.

Stuff Advertising was appointed to handle all of the marketing communications for Miss Millie’s, following a competitive pitch earlier this year. As well as the outdoor campaign, the agency is also responsible for brand development, direct marketing and in-store POS.

The agency has given the brand a new look and feel by introducing Miss Millie as a character along with the strapline “Make It A Millie’s”. The campaign focuses on the quality of the product, the great value for money and the heritage of the brand.

The new campaign will be backed up with in-store posters, radio advertising and the launch of a brand new website.

Richard Spruce, Creative Director of Stuff, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be working with Miss Millie’s. It is a brand with real heritage and we will be helping them strengthen their market presence to become the number one choice for high quality fried chicken in this area.”

Miss Millie’s is a family business based in Bristol and has been serving freshly prepared chicken for over 35 years at their 10 branches across Bristol, Weston-Super-Mare and Cardiff. They enjoy a great relationship with the local community and each store ensures it puts ‘something back’ into the neighbourhood where it is located.

Kate Ostrowski, Marketing Director for Miss Millie’s, said: “We were really impressed with Stuff’s approach. They showed a real understanding of the market, a passion for the brand and some really strong creative ideas that we are all very excited about seeing come to life.”

We are delighted to announce that Stuff is now working with audio giant, Altec Lansing.

Altec Lansing has been at the forefront of audio innovation for over 70 years. Their speakers were used at Woodstock and Abbey Road studios and they also created the original desktop PC speakers as well as the first audio dock for iPod.

Our work with them covers a wide range of marketing solutions and to date we have created a series of consumer ads, sales leaflets, exhibition panels and Email invitations. All of which have been extremely well received both here and in the US.

It’s a real pleasure to be working with such an exciting and innovative brand and we are looking forward to helping everyone ‘hear what’s next.’

Despite a smashed iPhone, 2 nearly-missed flights, a lost wallet, and a broken down car, the Blackstar stand at Frankfurt Musikmesse looked brilliant.

The place itself is huge and overwhelming. The stand was right opposite Marshall and next to ESP guitars and really stood out in it’s gloss white appearance and angled layout.
The graphics looked absolutely superb and the client’s products really stood out in the environment.

Let’s hope we can do the same again next year, but without the smashed iPhone, 2 nearly-missed flights, lost wallet, and broken down car…

The Frankfurt Musikmesse begins on Wednesday 24.3.2010 and Stuff has designed the stand for Blackstar Amplification. Based on the white, clean look of their advertising, the Blackstar stand is bound to attract a lot of attention and strengthen the brand’s position at the forefront of amplifier innovation.
