Well, kind of… According to Mashable the recent Old Spice campaign (yes, we’ve all heard about it – Ed) has “set a standard marketing experts will admire and follow in the years to come”, the site also reports that Old Spice sales have since doubled. Very impressive indeed. It has to be said, this was [...]

This is a guest post from 1000heads intern, Pearl Sun. Yesterday was the last day of my two week internship at 1000heads. I’ve learned quite a lot in a quick span of time, as they are probably one of the most organized creative studios I’ve ever worked with. First impressions started off nicely as Michelle [...]

If you want one (and are yet to sign up) please go right ahead and leave [...]

We like a good case study here at 1000heads and, having wrapped up some work with Sainsbury’s recently, we thought we’d take you one of our latest efforts. 1000heads is built on three core competences; understanding, ideas and relationships. Each one of those areas of expertise has a direct link to the different units within [...]

I found this website the other day. It’s called web.without.words. It’s awesome. Below is the rendering of a certain famous website in their own style. Can you guess what it is? Click through for the answer… It’s a simple enough concept. The web without words. Just blocks. It makes you look at something you possibly [...]

We love stories at 1000heads. We also love puns (heck, I do anyway). Which is why I smiled a little when reading about WiTHiNTENT today. They’re a new company who take the trampled wreckage of tents from festival sites nationwide and turn them into bags and jackets of a distinctly waterproof nature. This is good [...]

Yesterday The Washington Post published a fascinating article about 4chan, the notorious online message boards. 4chan was founded by a 15-year-old seven years ago as an anonymous, uncensored forum for Japanese anime fans but has grown to become a powerful and disruptive locus of anti-establishment collective action. These are the guys responsible for the mass [...]

A newly released white paper gives an interesting perspective on how brands are using Twitter – and how it could be done better. Digital agency 360i’s ‘Twitter and the Consumer-Marketer Dynamic’ confirms that marketers’ use of Twitter is very different to how regular folk use the platform in their daily lives.

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for things we like, number 3. I’m a big fan of things being re-appropriated for alternative uses. Like a nice bit of Rubik’s Cube art for example. Latest to pique my interest however was this work from Ghost of a Dream, turning discarded lottery tickets into the items [...]
