Merry Christmas from all at The Picture Works and i-Site. Our office will be closed from 1pm on the 23rd until Tuesday 4th January.

City Cards: December

It is December Christmas and 2011 fast approaching with prospect of change to be embraced.

As our urban centres busy themselves for the final christmas rush are city card racks are full and ready to entertain and inform.

Luas have 2 postcard campaigns for Dublin promoting their innovative Hop Shop and Drop service which is a shopping bag minding service. Pretty smart you got to admit! With that there is also have a competition to win free Luas travel for a year. The second promotes the Luas night service which is even running on New Years Eve. Their website also has full details.

There are a number of Christmas cards running through the racks. One is from the folks at St James Gate. We have also produced one ourselves which we hope you like. Thames and Hudson used an image from their Manolo Blahnik book -it looks stylish and festive.

There is also a very stylish card for Find which brings something new and passionate to Temple Bar. The John Galliano quote rings true 'this is a credit crisis and not a creative crisis'.

I particularly like the Aware card - a hopeful beach!

This is the month of Tron. Technology is to the fore with this months cover with augemented reality from Buena Vista. Slick. The first time we have had an augmented reality piece through the racks .

The HSE have the creative campaign for promoting safe sex with 5 executions in total.

i-Site: Cycle 25

It's Christmas, we have had the snow and now it's time for some cheer from Carlsberg and Jagermeister. But know your limit: Drink Aware are campaigning at the moment.

If you kiss under the mistletoe or go a stage further...thinkcontraception!

Bank of Ireland have 2 execution of their campaigns for their sponsorship of Leinster and Connaught Rugby.

Alfa Romeo Giuliettas are to be driven by real people next year free of charge with one very fortunate overall winner. Unfortunately we cant enter.

Barnardos Light Walker

The Picture Works and Barnardos teamed up last Tuesday to communicate a poignant PR message via Light walker projections on behalf of under privileged children of Ireland. The message was illuminated and brought to life in very close proximity to key government builds, was very simple but powerful- “Dreading December”.

The projections were also intelligently placed/targeted e.g. projections on other government buildings like the Financial Exchequer.

Our projections on the Dail were picked up by the Irish Examiner last Friday driving home the message to the masses that under privileged children of Ireland are truly dreading the budget that is to be released on December 7, 2010.

We are extremely proud to have been involved in and support this incredibly important cause.
