Liven has just completed the creation of an integrated campaign for Pabulum a food contractor based in Fleet Hampshire. We were asked to oversee the creation of its primary and secondary Autumn/Winter campaign which ultimatley involved encouraging pupils to eat healthy. At the core of the campaign was a suite of Primary and Secondary Term posters.

The aim of the posters was to raise the awareness of Pabulum amongst school pupils and to promote the overriding message that Pabulum will be offering pupils tasty school dinners, from across the British isles made with fantastic local ingredients.

The campaign was called ‘The Great British Food Celebration’ and just like a travelling circus the main poster visually conveys a message of trying iconic dishes from, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The copy was adjusted for primary and secondary pupils, with prizes available to secondary students who participated (collecting loyalty card stamps).

Along with the posters the campaign was also rolled out across a range of printed collateral. One such item was an activity pack which included: Activity booklet with games and stickers, a menu informing the parents about the food their child would be eating and a letter to the parents from Pabulum.

Earlier this year, Liven was approached by Domain Diction, a newly formed marketing company which provides proven campaigns for Top Level Domains (TLDs). Liven was asked to create two brochures and in the process establish a visual look and feel which could then be used as the foundations for additional promotional collateral.

Both brochures incorporated contemporary images, combined with a modern colour palette. A bold font hierarchy engaged the reader, ensuring easy navigations as well as allowing for Domain Diction proposition to be clearly defined and their services understood. Since the creation of the brochure a new website has been created, following the visual look and feel established for both brochures.

Liven Creative, has just completed the design of two stunning new brochures for Salt Recruitment. Salt Recruitment are a leading London based digital recruitment consultancy which provides digital professionals across four markets: Sales, Marketing, Technical and Creative. Liven were tasked with transferring the look and feel of their new websites across two new recruitment brochures; their corporate brochure which would be given to new and existing clients and their internal recruitment training guidelines.

As part of the development of Salt’s new corporate brochure, Liven Creative were also asked to consider the structure of the brochure content and to write all copy. The brochure copy started with an overview of the company and key reasons why Salt should be considered. Following this, each of Salt key markets, Marketing, Creative, Technical and Sales were conveyed. The Salt offering was then clearly communicated along with the company’s brand values and contact details. With the copywriting complete Liven then created two creative concepts for the new corporate brochure before developing the favoured concept to sign off.

For the internal training guidelines, again Liven created two concept before developing the favoured visual to sign off. Positive sports related images were used for key divider pages and a number of recruitment diagrams recreated as required.

Undertaking a rebrand, new website, advertising campaign or brochure within any large orgnaisations can sometimes be a difficult exercise as staff conflict internally regarding the priorities of the project.

Liven has extensive experience undertaking successful projects for Global enterprises and uses as part of our structured approach, an Agile methodology called MoSCow to prioritise what are the key deliverables for a project.

MoSCoW stands for:

• Must have
• Should have
• Could have
• Won’t have

Must Haves: are mandatory deliverables that must be included as part of the project. It is good to have clarity on this before a project begins, as this is the minimum scope for the project.

Should Haves: are extras that are not critical to launch, but are still considered to be important.

Could Haves: are features that are nice to have and could potentially be included without incurring too much effort or cost. However, these will be the first features to be removed from scope if the project’s timescales are later at risk.

Won’t Haves are features that have been requested but are explicitly excluded from scope for the planned duration, and may be included in a future phase of development depending on budget and timescales.

It’s a good idea to make sure a project has a healthy number of Should Have and Could Have requirements. This way you provide the project with some flexibility if things start taking longer than expected, effectively providing the project with some contingency.

If a project only has ‘Must Haves’, the scope cannot be varied. Therefore the cost and timescales should not really be fixed without including a reasonable contingency. ‘Could Haves’ can be that contingency. They are effectively stretch tasks; features that will be included if possible, but the launch date will not be moved to accommodate them if there is not enough time to complete them.
