To promote the New Soham Decorating Centre, for fellow Royal Warrant holders Witham Oil & Paint, we created an eye-catching Mailer.

We initially carried out a site visit and extensive research into the Witham Group. We presented a number of creative concepts exploring different possibilities for functionality and usage. Taking into consideration the target audience, we wanted to engage with customers both old and new.

The final 'Paint Swatch' design echoed a 'paint chart' style. Illustrations were proposed and chosen over photography for this project, giving a unique approach for the product imagery.

We retained the Witham's existing branding with a strong colour palette and overall 'British' style. The mix of the metal screw finishing and white illustrations lend themselves perfectly to this contemporary yet traditional style. Both ourselves and the client were very happy with the finished result.

Farrows have entered two poster designs into the good50x70 charity poster competition. It is an annual contest, confronting 7 critical issues affecting today’s world, each endorsed by a different charity.

Darrell chose the WWF brief, which is designed to raise public awareness of the tiger's plight against extinction. The theme was the Year of the Tiger and Darrell found this inspired him to produce two very contrasting, yet striking designs that we are very proud of.

The competition has had nearly 2500 entries from 163 countries around the world. The best 30 responses to each brief will be collected in a catalogue and exhibited around the world. The real ‘winners’ will be the charities who can use any of the posters for use as potential communication tools. We eagerly await news on the results.

This year again we entered the Royal Warrant Holders Football Tournament.  The tournament was again held at The Royal Chelsea Hospital Grounds and as usual we semi fancied our chances (good old British optimism). 

We didn't start particularly well in the group stages losing 1-0 in a tight encounter with PAYE, however we followed up with two wins against Rokill and Taylor Pearce.  This left us second in our group with 6 points and as a result a knockout tie against Toye, Kenning & Spencer.  The knockout game was close, however TK&S snuck a goal and we couldn't find an equaliser, again another tight encounter but one which left us knocked out and packing our bags. 

The eventual winners were Calor Gas Ltd. who beat DHL in the final.  No one has managed to retain this prestigious trophy as yet- we'll be back next year to try again...

Raven's Den (formally Harvest Food) have a stand at Taste of London in Regent's Park this year. 

We have been working hard in order for them to launch the new branding at the show.  Below you can see an image of their stand which features the new branding for the first time.

This week we attended the BITC East of England Awards Gala Dinner at Hengrave Hall. The awards were developed specifically so that companies in the region can be recognised for their good work in society no matter how large or small.

As sponsors, we designed all the marketing material, case study booklet and presentation for the event.

We also gave away branded mints across all tables!
