Goodbye, John

John

In 2008 onebestway wanted to photograph work somewhere different.

So we asked John if we could use his beloved allotment.

Our brochure, named ‘allotment’ was shot and produced and it was lovely. If you want a copy, please email mike@onebestway.com and ask. We’ll send you one.

Sadly; John died at the end of 2009.

Thanks John for allowing us to show the things that we love in amongst the things that you love.

Website launch – Stanton Burdett

Stanton Burdett

onebestway developed a new brand identity for Stanton Burdett and the new website (also developed by onebestway) goes live today.

The footage that streams in the top of the page was filmed in a chilly North East lake by HT.

The brand identity – an origami boat – symbolises the precision and delicate approaches taken by Stanton Burdett to complex Project Management in the Marine and Defence sectors.

Thank you to Vince and Sarah for working with onebestway.

Emily

Emily is a onebestway client.

In April 2010 Emily will be joining a group of 20 people from the Sunderland Partnership (comprising Public, Private and Voluntary Sector Organisations) in attempting to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro – the world’s highest free standing mountain. The climb will take place over a period of seven days from the 16th April - 22nd April.

Emily is raising money for a fantastic charity Grace House North East Children’s Hospice Appeal.  The charity is raising funds to build, equip and run an eight bed children’s hospice for children across the North East of England.

The other half of the money will be going to the Africa Blackwood Conservation Project, which is planting trees on the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro to reverse the devastating effects of deforestation.

The fundraising target is an ambitious one so any support you can give would be much appreciated.

Please visit http://www.justgiving.com/Emily-James to donate.

Thank you

Michael

Hello there

onebestway is looking for a talented and hard working Junior Designer.

This role may start off as less than a full week (a placement) so an undergraduate or recent graduate may be suitable.

You will have an impressive grade if you have graduated and a stunning portfolio of work that you’ll be super-proud of either way.

You will know and love onebestway and you’ll be able to articulate why.

Here at onebestway our work has to be effective, always. We are measured and we are judged every day. And that’s how it should be.

You’ll be very, very capable with Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop.

You also be popped to the top of the list if you have ‘all of the above’ plus a decent understanding of Flash and Dreamweaver.

Here’s an email that we got from Jo last week:

Hi Guys,

I am working late and just browsing through TATTI, I just wanted to say a huge ‘thank you’ to you all as you have all worked so hard to bring TATTI together.

I think the end result is brilliant, I just can’t wait to get it out there and start selling to other designer makers what I think is a really great , classy idea with a brand that says just that!

Deb, you have done a fantastic job your great words have made TATTI so easy to understand and are the glue bringing together and making sense of the concept.

I hope to…  get over to crack open a bottle of something bubbly to celebrate with you.

Bye for now

Sunderland FIS choose onebestway

Posters

After a competitive pitching process in December 2009, Sunderland Family Information Service has chosen onebestway to provide marketing and design services for a new initiative.

onebestway’s idea encourages parents to get back into work and to ‘Make it Happen’ for themselves and for their children.

Parents can access funding towards formal childcare and the children can make wonderful ‘thank you’s’ for their parents as a result.

We’re showing how children can benefit from the formal childcare environment and parents can get up to 80% of their costs covered.

The work will appear online, on street vinyls, on 100,000 posters and fliers and on 50,000 coasters in February and March 2010.

And a big thank you to Molly and Lola who modelled beautifully.
