Off to the races...

Ian from rocket media, looking at the beamish mallow races

Mallow racecourse hosted an Easter festival of horse racing. Beamish were a premuim sponsor of the event so Rocket Media spent the all of March designing a point of sale suite for use in 25 pubs around Mallow town and a visability suite for the race track.

The theme was developed as an extension of the above the line campaign - Beamish - its all about the racing. We design and print managed the entire visibility suite - this will be used over the course of the summer at 4 other nation hunt gatherings with exposure to over 200,000 people.

Of course we had to ensure that it looked as well on the ground as it did onscreen - so off to the races we went. Our good luck held and few wisely placed bets on some of the favourites ensured we had some change in our pockets at the end of the day, though for the record I (Martin) made more money that Ian. Twas a good day all round and Beamish were delighted with the visibilty suite and Easter Sunday had the highest attendance record for the last three years - giddy up!

Relaunching Richmond Marketing Website

Richmond Marketing are Ireland's largest independent Drinks marketing company.
The manage the distribution rights for some of the worlds leading brands including Red Bull and Miller.

Their previous site was very basic, had limited content management and did not reflect the dynamic nature or the high profile of their work.

Rocket Media designed an interface that gave equal footing to all brands while allowing the Richmond logo to be central stage as they act as the ambassador in Ireland for each of their clients.

Richmond were delighted with the end result - a quick comparison with the previous site will give you an indication of how far into the present Rocket Media have brought them!

Rocket in disguise! St Patrick's day Cork

After a throw away comment of "lets be transformers" in the Paddy's day parade, and a few weeks of literal 'team building', our creative side project (or just arsing around, living out childhood fantasies) transformed into a fantastic day. We even managed to make national TV! The Autobots (and Decepticons) rolled out on Patrick's Street today, just in case St.Patrick's cane wasn't enough to scare those snakes away.

Have a look at the pics, they're more than meets the eyes, you could say we're in our prime, absolutely mega(tron), I think you'll agree we were pretty hot(rod)... yep, I went there! Enjoy
