Well as far as we know it is... From next friday we'll be running pub quizzes on Twitter for Irish Whiskey brand Bushmills. The idea is pretty simple starting at lunchtime we'll send out questions (to which the answer won't be easily found on google) and we'll select a winner from people that send us a correct response to all questions. The activity is part of a TTL (through the line) promotion that gives away the Bushmills company car go to www.bushmills.co.za ... Read More

national-colour-day

Our Joburg office had to order nearly 90kg of multicoloured jellybeans for a media drop to celebrate Plascon's national colour day. We suspect there's going to be some sore but happy tummies around the nation's radio stations where they were delivered this morning. The Atmosphere team in both offices made a special effort to add some colour to our outfits (i'm wearing a rather fetching pair of yellow converse for example). - Dan Read More

Challenge: When Reviva Technology retained Atmosphere, seven months after the Fitflop brand had launched in South Africa, their average monthly sales had halved, following an initial burst when the shoes hit stores. As a new brand owned by a start-up company, there was little budget available to embark on costly brand activations or an above-the-line campaign but it was evident that consumer awareness needed to be increased to strengthen the brand’s positioning in the local market, with a resultant impact on sales. Solution: Atmosphere ... Read More
