12 colourful posters each displaying a misspelled word or a mathematical conundrum to get students to think about their skills in Maths & English.
The posters have been reproduced at a variety of sizes from A0 to A2 and placed around the campus to highlight the need for students to complete an agreed level of Maths & English competency.
Now on their third reprint, the posters are proving to be a huge success with staff and students alike.

Client: St Dalfour (UK)
Project: Waitrose Weekend Advert
When the opportunity arose for St Dalfour (UK) to advertise in the Waitrose Weekend Magazine they asked for something that would engage the readership and offer a reason to use their product.
A competition element was devised to win a day at the Waitrose Cookery School in North London.
The response was amazing, far exceeding all client expectation. Entrants details were captured and are now available for targeted campaigns and specific offers from St Dalfour.
A real 'Feel Good' campaign.
