Mission agencies Bray Leino and Big Communications continue award success at the Cream Awards
13th November 2006
The Mission Marketing Group plc ("TMMG, themission®"), the national marketing communications and advertising group, today announces that its Bristol and Leicester based agencies Big Communications and Bray Leino have recorded their biggest ever haul of awards at this years Cream Awards. The Cream Awards, held in Coventry last week, recognise excellence in the creative industry in the English and Welsh regions.
Bray Leino collected 10 awards - three gold, three silver and four bronze; Big Communications were awarded 11 awards - six silver and five bronze.
The awards covered a range of advertising mediums in which Bray Leino and Big Communications excel, ranging from TV to outdoor to poster.
Two of Bray Leino's gold awards - Best Low Budget and Best Unusual Size or Special Build - were part of a campaign created for Bristol-based sustainable transport charity Sustrans. The campaign included a magazine ad depicting a car tax disc bearing the words ‘Tax your thighs instead' and a mocked-up £50 note that could be inserted in car fuel filler caps to encourage people to consider the savings that could be made by choosing to cycle instead of driving.
The other gold earned by Bray Leino's creative team was Best Item of Self Promotion for its Christmas card campaign in aid of an anti-landmines' charity which featured a gingerbread man with only one leg.
