New York

Is there a game on?

The World Cup is upon us and we’re so looking forward to it. A month of quality of football for the whole world to enjoy – well maybe not if you’re Irish.

Some one said to me the other day “is there an important game on?”. Yes there bloody is – England vs USA – this Saturday 12th June.

So what does an agency with a London and a New York office do to celebrate the occasion?

Whip up some national pride and pre-match fervour with offensive poster propaganda, then have the looser (that would be with a finger and thumb held to the forehead if you’re from other there – spit) buy breakfast for the entire winning office… Winner takes all – the croissants, bagels, muffins, danish, SAUSAGE sandwich, BACON buttie and coffee – or is that corfee.

So enter the fray LBi New York with a opening shot and historical timeline:

Decline of the British Empire

UPDATE:

More USA posters for our London office

A very English reply

Fans star in ‘What’s Your O-Face?’ campaign

LBi Special Ops Media have launched the ‘What’s Your O-Face?’ digital campaign for Three Olives Vodka, a Proximo Spirits brand, to remind people that Three-O is a seriously premium and seriously fun Vodka. 

Through a mix of compelling design, technology and social media components, fans are being asked to upload their own ‘O-Face’; a look of happy excitement after drinking one of the Three-O vodka drinks, onto the site.

 Entrants are encouraged to spread the word and rally voting outside the site using special widgets that plug into Facebook and social networking sites. The campaign will be peer judged on May 31,. Five finalists will then be flown to New York and asked to take part in a photo shoot to become the face of the brand, with the winner staring in a national ad campaign and taking home the tidy sum of $10,000.

 LBi Special Ops Media have been in charge of developing the online brand through website development, online creative, media planning, online press and digital strategy.  The campaign is supported with print media, out of home media, publicity and a targeted online media campaign that includes high impact custom placements and flash display ads on sites like PerezHilton.com, and Maxim.com.

 Gino Luci, Brand Manager for Three Olives is keen to spread the brand message, “Three Olives is the most exciting vodka brand in the market, carving out a niche from our stuffy and pretentious competitors with a single-minded message of being seriously fun.  We are dedicated to bringing the fun back to vodka and want our fans to be a part of it. We’re shaking up the category through innovation in every aspect of the brand – advertising, promotions and exciting new flavors – and the results are showing.”

 Jason Klein, co-CEO LBi Special Ops Media, “The O-Face promotion proved to be the perfect fit to reap the benefits of Facebook Connect and help it stand out from the oversaturation of brand-centric UGC efforts.  We were fortunate to have a client who allowed us to take them on this journey to become the first spirits brand to employ this platform.  For a brand like Three Olives that thrives in the real world with word of mouth enthusiasm, harnessing the social evangelical power of Facebook and making it the cornerstone of a 360 degree marketing campaign, seemed a natural fit.  And, so far, the results are proving us right.”
