The UK&#39;s only dedicated freight ferry company on the Irish sea turned to the ICG design and digital teams when it embarked on voyage to launch a new website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The brief was to create an information and sales portal that would allow current and potential clients to find everything they need in one place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ICG&#39;s digital and design teams got to work and the resulting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seatruckferries.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;website &lt;/a&gt;includes sailing schedules that are updated in real -time to give the most accurate information, shipping forecasts, media gallery with free downloadable images, an online quoting facility, all the latest Seatruck news and the contact details for each of the ports used by the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Designed in accordance with brand guidelines, the site is easy to navigate with a clean, fresh look. &lt;br /&gt;</description><link>http://icgonline.blogspot.com/2012/11/seatruck-ferries-new-website-sets-sail.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ICG)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ip5lQZ7QZN5s6uxnVMfERQBUTbpwTdyg3n05Wtu3L4WKOMvbUeJvkYOKWak5Nm6zafrRDSanZrIy3P1N-U9fB4yPVo1ipBQx1fEMmTKBKt5jIqIzm20jshacBwa-4n3UXCIND4X11Tc/s72-c/SEATRUCK_oct12.gif" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951683578840870819.post-8435649972813987475</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-11-12T09:27:26.215+00:00</atom:updated><title>New services and signage systems for Central Training </title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

The ICG design team has masterminded the creatives for the launch of three new services that are being offered by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.centraltraininggroup.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Central Training&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A new state of the art gym, modern hair salon and 3G sports pitch, which are all located in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.centraltraininggroup.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Central Training&lt;/a&gt;&#39;s Central Park Campus in Wigan, all have their own specially created sub-brands, which have been rolled out across a suite of promotional material including flyers, banners, local press advertising and web advertisements. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, ICG has worked with&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.centraltraininggroup.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Central Training&lt;/a&gt; to devise and design a signage system for the whole Central Park site, which was officially launched in October. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way-finding system colour-codes buildings across the campus so students can easily navigate their way around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description><link>http://icgonline.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-services-and-signage-systems-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ICG)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdVXMKeFP_yvbaypkxOGIfeVMHy6kcKVUrnbQWVCxQobGMP_SL9clmtyOr9a5Q8GSoWcHccfu3UgSZ-qvlKG0gzsd6PhFW1kOBVf8MDe77z1RhS-YYm3Eh6_yzUyr4Koe1oRGiDU5C-8w/s72-c/CENTRALPARK_oct12.gif" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951683578840870819.post-2972424881293047034</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-11-05T12:24:02.018+00:00</atom:updated><title>Helping Windows 8 take off</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Following on from the success of the inaugural &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.evolution-expo.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Evolution &lt;/a&gt;event, IT distributor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vip-computers.com/uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;VIP Computers&lt;/a&gt; turned to ICG&#39;s design team to help promote Microsoft&#39;s latest version of Windows. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A radical re-imagining, this is a historical event for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Microsoft&lt;/a&gt;, so our creative campaign takes inspiration from great events in history, such as the moon landing and the discovery of DNA. The visual style marries the new &lt;a href=&quot;http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/meet&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Windows 8 brand&lt;/a&gt; alongside distinctive monotone photography and incorporates the core &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vip-computers.com/uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/a&gt; brand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The creative has been rolled out across trade press adverts, e-shots, web banners and a video guide to &lt;a href=&quot;http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/meet&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Windows 8&lt;/a&gt;.</description><link>http://icgonline.blogspot.com/2012/11/helping-windows-8-take-off.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ICG)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcGc-JEk6eWA6F-CbFszDjyW6XUePj_ghthxk0H29MXJbv3CsLBEmdn7qRfZ62ENSu45T_OIq9cnXX1zVOnbvC4kh47EecJyqR3BGPSlAV-rB-NTA4ZKe29qllSRJ3TExsttZoYeYklVc/s72-c/VIP_oct12.gif" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951683578840870819.post-6042131217302696603</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Oct 2012 07:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-10-11T08:53:55.233+01:00</atom:updated><title>Fashion event was right up our street!</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The event, which the PR team have been busy promoting in recent months, was organised to celebrate the fantastic fashion offering available from some of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.themall.co.uk/my-mall/blackburn/default.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Mall&#39;s&lt;/a&gt; flagship retailers, which include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.primark.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Primark&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.next.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Next&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.riverisland.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;River Island&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bankfashion.co.uk/home?cm_mmc=Google-_-Brand-_-Phrase-_-bank&amp;amp;aid=1100&amp;amp;gclid=CNe31vu8-LICFSTHtAodQTcAHQ&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bank&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;In the months leading up to the big day the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.icgpr.co.uk/meet-the-team.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;PR team&lt;/a&gt; worked with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.themall.co.uk/my-mall/blackburn/default.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Mall&#39;s&lt;/a&gt; award winning marketing team to promote a Lancashire&#39;s Got Style model search,&amp;nbsp; announce the winners, secure the celebrity appearance and raise awareness of the fashion show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Thousands of people from across Lancashire flocked to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.themall.co.uk/my-mall/blackburn/default.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Mall&lt;/a&gt; to watch the four Lancashire&#39;s Got Style model winners strut their stuff on the catwalk and many queued for hours to meet the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Keegan&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;soap star&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When the UK&#39;s largest independent distributor of computer components, peripherals and consumer products launched its inaugural exhibition for leading vendors and key customers, it turned to ICG for creative, digital and event support from start to finish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The exhibition, which was entitled &#39;Evolution -- The future of gaming and technology&#39; required a brand identity that would&amp;nbsp; attract potential exhibitors and delegates and this was achieved by using recognisable gaming characters as well as technology style colour palettes and fonts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKtBNFdPz9N70PwlbFKX467Zl6BHbWA7WDYmjLRMnKzRb1Tg9-zVD-olmyEKzHpSGSGFARreYL6KgNRw2I2pXR6uy3ySQLc2IGqTdmx8DX14ft_JVlLx6ljvkOc4LPmVr_gm5PKE7M3LU/s1600/evo_blog_03.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;257&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKtBNFdPz9N70PwlbFKX467Zl6BHbWA7WDYmjLRMnKzRb1Tg9-zVD-olmyEKzHpSGSGFARreYL6KgNRw2I2pXR6uy3ySQLc2IGqTdmx8DX14ft_JVlLx6ljvkOc4LPmVr_gm5PKE7M3LU/s400/evo_blog_03.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This branding was rolled out across the www.evolution-expo.co.uk&amp;nbsp; website and targeted e-shots designed to introduce and raise awareness about the event. Online and offline promotions, including trade press advertisements and web banners, were also devised as part of the marketing strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;224&quot; mozallowfullscreen=&quot;mozallowfullscreen&quot; src=&quot;http://player.vimeo.com/video/50281742&quot; webkitallowfullscreen=&quot;webkitallowfullscreen&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other essential marketing collateral included an exhibitor&#39;s manual, event guide, artwork for VIP&#39;s exhibition stand, material such as colour co-ordinated lanyards, flags, banners, signage, animation for onsite screens and branded beer mats, table decorations, menus and banners for the celebratory evening event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members of the ICG team were also on hand throughout Evolution to assist with the smooth running of the event and oversee photography and video recording.&lt;br /&gt;

In order to access the competition page entrants need to have liked the profile and once through, they answer a simple multiple choice question and input their personal details. Likes are being tracked to gauge the campaign&#39;s success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ICG provides design and digital services for six retail outlets on behalf of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realm.ltd.uk/index.php&quot;&gt;Realm &lt;/a&gt;including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.junction32.com/&quot;&gt;Junction 32&lt;/a&gt; in Yorkshire, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freeport-fleetwood.com/&quot;&gt;Freeport Fleetwood&lt;/a&gt; in Lancashire, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clarksvillage.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Clark&#39;s Village&lt;/a&gt; in Somerset, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freeport-braintree.com/&quot;&gt;Freeport Braintree&lt;/a&gt; in Essex, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freeport-talke.com/&quot;&gt;Freeport Talk&lt;/a&gt; in Stoke on Trent and&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lakeside-village.co.uk/&quot;&gt; Lakeside Village&lt;/a&gt; in Doncaster.</description><link>http://icgonline.blogspot.com/2012/08/social-media-engagement-strategy-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ICG)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHGbBxVCLi0aBPlxM819aCI1Ony33oa5YBYkn26MzyC7Rd3efyF7vipdIYqPkXUJoKJhRPCVaWonStUf79BpNGFNsVHQ4ccA6ORW62dtZoYfYq1rcSi5kYH9iAr4JMGcy4jV_R00s4XMY/s72-c/facebook-blog-pic.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951683578840870819.post-5777152697435486437</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-08-02T15:18:17.167+01:00</atom:updated><title>Bumper coverage in Blackpool Zoo&#39;s 40th anniversary month!</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-t58kzS3Fz5uGC0nbIy4b791pkUQyX-NnRHSXDgJEMUzu4Lxb-sXV9QNzNceLUxBrCH3qpbLhPAHE23F2uvoczx_I8GQQcUckAKRp-iPF6nVznuY4uA5vCeorhMrTh3ZmYIuq51Ws1Cc/s1600/blk_zoo_aug12.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-t58kzS3Fz5uGC0nbIy4b791pkUQyX-NnRHSXDgJEMUzu4Lxb-sXV9QNzNceLUxBrCH3qpbLhPAHE23F2uvoczx_I8GQQcUckAKRp-iPF6nVznuY4uA5vCeorhMrTh3ZmYIuq51Ws1Cc/s400/blk_zoo_aug12.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5772079921097926562&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July was a month of huge celebration at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blackpoolzoo.org.uk/&quot;&gt;Blackpool Zoo&lt;/a&gt; and the ICG PR team gained some fantastic coverage of the festivities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all started with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blackpoolzoo.org.uk/&quot;&gt;zoo&#39;s&lt;/a&gt; landmark 40th anniversary, which attracted media coverage from across the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.itv.com/news/granada/&quot;&gt;Granada news&lt;/a&gt; and&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006pfjx&quot;&gt; BBC North West news&lt;/a&gt; featured the story on its televised news bulletins throughout the day, with live links to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blackpoolzoo.org.uk/&quot;&gt;zoo &lt;/a&gt;and feature length reports on the tea time programmes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Blackpool Gazette&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lep.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Lancashire Evening Post&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/&quot;&gt;Manchester Evening News&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Lancashire Telegraph&lt;/a&gt; were just some of the regional and local newspapers that ran in-depth articles on the history of the attraction and reported on the celebrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiolancashire/programmes&quot;&gt;BBC Radio Lancashire &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiomanchester/programmes&quot;&gt;BBC Radio Manchester&lt;/a&gt; interviewed &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blackpoolzoo.org.uk/&quot;&gt;Blackpool Zoo&#39;s&lt;/a&gt; longest serving staff member Russell Catlow and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.express.co.uk/home&quot;&gt;Daily Express&lt;/a&gt; featured the zoo as one of the top UK days out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fun continued on July 18th with the official opening of Wolf Ridge, a new £500,000 enclosure. The ICG PR team sent wolf teddy bears to key national and regional press with an invitation to the launch event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.firstnews.co.uk/index&quot;&gt;National Children&#39;s Newspaper First News&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rockfm.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Rock FM&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.visitblackpool.com/&quot;&gt;Visit Blackpool&lt;/a&gt; were amongst many that tweeted, facebooked and reported about the unveiling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other July PR coups included an article about a career in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blackpoolzoo.org.uk/&quot;&gt;zoo &lt;/a&gt;keeping, which was covered in a variety of regional titles including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pendletoday.co.uk/&quot;&gt;The Nelson Leader&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pendletoday.co.uk/&quot;&gt;The Colne Times&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clitheroeadvertiser.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Clitheroe Advertiser&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lep.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Lancashire Evening Post&lt;/a&gt; and many more!</description><link>http://icgonline.blogspot.com/2012/08/bumper-coverage-in-blackpool-zoos-40th.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ICG)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-t58kzS3Fz5uGC0nbIy4b791pkUQyX-NnRHSXDgJEMUzu4Lxb-sXV9QNzNceLUxBrCH3qpbLhPAHE23F2uvoczx_I8GQQcUckAKRp-iPF6nVznuY4uA5vCeorhMrTh3ZmYIuq51Ws1Cc/s72-c/blk_zoo_aug12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951683578840870819.post-8309734546189195998</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jul 2012 15:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-07-24T16:38:12.334+01:00</atom:updated><title>Key messages and Windows 8 for VIP Computers</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Why choose VIP for selling Microsoft products? That was the strapline for a trade ad campaign on behalf of ICG client, VIP Computers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The campaign focused on demonstrating the benefits of using the authorised Microsoft Distributor including its commitment to competitive pricing and its impeccable credentials as a long&amp;nbsp;standing official&amp;nbsp;distributor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clever use of icons and key message brought three complementary designs to life which were featured in the computer trade press including PCR magazine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was followed by a successive campaign to promote the forthcoming launch of Windows 8.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ICG, in partnership with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vip-computers.com/uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;VIP Computers&lt;/a&gt; had to meet specific Microsoft guidelines about the design of the pre-launch marketing collateral with the issue of information and imagery being tightly controlled before the new operating system is fully unveiled in October.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The campaign is being featured in the trade press while VIP Computers also issued a direct mailer to customers featuring a Windows 8 &#39;upgrade offer&#39; as part of a drive to encourage consumers not to delay buying new PCs, laptops or tablets&amp;nbsp;preinstalled with Windows 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The issue of the A5 mailer was timed to coincide with Euros 2012 to reward VIP Computer customers with the chance to win a 3D gaming notebook.</description><link>http://icgonline.blogspot.com/2012/07/key-messages-and-windows-8-for-vip.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ICG)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdpg2xDgY0YMTFRI7L1ogwH1JQOOLbypEKpp9F3c2qmUuN2X1DA_hhxeP9VaM36gla6tuUykmaPxgGTF_9UJMhRdE1OFDBA0XS4u6gNAY8zx2nFdGNzNHSyCpF0MSaUfVX8gxIBSQGcy8/s72-c/vip_blog.gif" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951683578840870819.post-8049236567689242491</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jul 2012 08:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-07-24T16:46:30.760+01:00</atom:updated><title>Yeee....haaaa for The Mall&#39;s Retailers</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fW9BIMuOrrD-1rSY-rnje5LloRry8KAPa-SD66hQcBRTsW1o2_iN9JX0_5cXunLFQZtLUZo2fqdinm9xWjgxdYhkTnVHwtmQdy5sqlfS5L8Fe7hLq-auyjiEeW37to8jhnIecf6U0Uk/s1600/DSC_7894.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5767176058888177858&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1fW9BIMuOrrD-1rSY-rnje5LloRry8KAPa-SD66hQcBRTsW1o2_iN9JX0_5cXunLFQZtLUZo2fqdinm9xWjgxdYhkTnVHwtmQdy5sqlfS5L8Fe7hLq-auyjiEeW37to8jhnIecf6U0Uk/s400/DSC_7894.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 266px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;ICG is spreading the word about MedicX Pharmacy as new practices open across the country.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medicxpharmacy.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MedicX Pharmacy&lt;/a&gt; started working with ICG’s PR and design teams in March and since then we’ve promoted new practice openings in Merseyside, Greater London and Hertfordshire as well as generating publicity about charity contributions and achievements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So far, coverage has been secured in a number of regional newspaper titles as well as in the business press.

MedicX Pharmacy has a total of 13 practices located across England including the North West, Yorkshire, Greater London and the South East.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ICG’s design teams have created generic marketing collateral including framed swing signage, flag banners and pull-up banners which can be tailored to the requirements of individual practices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;A TASTE of Lancashire was the theme of an evening organised by ICG with leading tourism bosses on behalf of client &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twelve-restaurant.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Twelve Restaurant &amp;amp; Lounge Bar&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members of Marketing Lancashire and Cookery Writer Philippa James were among the guests for a new initiative by Marketing Lancashire to help promote the county’s food heritage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve was among a small group of leading restaurants specially approached to link up with a local food producer and hold a Taste Lancashire Produce evening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Social media played its role in setting up Twelve’s partnership with organic vegetable growers, Alan and Debra Schofield from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.growing-with-nature.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Growing with Nature&lt;/a&gt; based in Pilling near Poulton-le-Fylde, Over Wyre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ICG provided photography, provided extensive copy for press releases, blogs, profiles and social media to keep everyone fully briefed about the event; the digital team at Marketing Lancashire also tweeted and Facebooked about the progress of vegetables specially planted for the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Taste Lancashire Evening was widely featured in the local press and media and attracted more than 70 diners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dishes included aromatic Spring vegetable soup, slow cooked 40-hour beef and to celebrate Twelve’s 12th birthday in 2012, a new version of their signature dessert, the Banana Butty.&amp;nbsp; To find out more about the fabulous food served by Twelve follow their blog &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twelve-restaurant.blogspot.co.uk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;ICG client Blackpool Airport has shown its loyal support for Blackpool FC ahead of tomorrow&#39;s play-off with an advert featured in the Wembley football programme that ties nicely into the start of the summer flying schedule.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wishing the Seasiders the best of luck for the match against West Ham, the advert designed by ICG highlights the airport&#39;s connections to sunny spots in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Madeira as well as closer to home in Dublin, Jersey and Belfast. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the PR front this week we&#39;ve also been organising photo shoots demonstrating Blackpool Airport&#39;s unwavering support for the club from their flight operations staff, firefighters and management with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blackpoolinternational.com/about-us/news.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;picture stories&lt;/a&gt; issued to the local and regional press.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While football fever hits the Fylde coast, ICG has just completed the summer edition of Blackpool Airport&#39;s bi-annual magazine Horizons which is packed with information about facilities at the airport as well as holiday destinations and flights.</description><link>http://icgonline.blogspot.com/2012/05/seasiders-sunny-skies-wembley-for-icg.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ICG)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSt1KyeSdfWtguQynCnbC7wd4oeAL_7Y7ExnigP4PIBJLdKcq4YEXPzcLrShwr9GWnX8o5O8DY2Yh0u9BQXIIeUss1KPcsRje0Z1KTSQyg5pfAkWc3fFnEJfcJ68ngtUfBrPCTRaZp78/s72-c/Blackpool+Airport_May.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951683578840870819.post-7152343369325526594</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 May 2012 15:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-05-11T16:10:10.069+01:00</atom:updated><title>More colour, product and pace at Junction 32</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;b&gt;ICG&#39;s design teams have updated the marketing material for retail outlet &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.junction32.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Junction 32&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;to include more product, colour and pace.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New graphics, greater use of product images and brighter colours have been introduced to the marketing collateral featured on-site and in the surrounding region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The revamped design has been rolled out on posters, lamp post banners and bill boards at Junction 32 as well as on 48-sheets, bus mega-rears and bus super-sides in the local area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The design for off-site marketing material has been created to follow seasonal trends with a single colour palette. Spring kicks off with zingy green while plans for summer and autumn colours are now under discussion. The new design has also been rolled out on Junction 32&#39;s website and Facebook profile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;ICG provides design and digital services for six retail outlets on behalf of client Realm, including Junction 32 located in Yorkshire.</description><link>http://icgonline.blogspot.com/2012/05/more-colour-product-and-pace-at.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ICG)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyWatkt321Vb2Ra8gJWxtMc81fCto0TSpzR_PK0TznHQNuhD8PpqSOH3gbow2mTyP9h6Nc4nWe7ItYi0xVet0W84KxxyYzDeQYQx990lZ-KSnHH7YOJVsxfGqKGTPwgeR-uMHO3oUds4c/s72-c/J32_Blog_Pic.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></item></channel></rss>
