Insert Jumping Student Cliche Here

When you see photos of jumping, hugging, crying A-level students, you’d at least be forgiven for expecting them to have taken their exams this year! Unlike a couple of former tax dodgers who were snapped having just opened their A-level results at Hayesfield Girls’ School on August 19, 2010 in Bath, only to be seen in the Guardian this week.

A picture may speak a thousand words, but it also makes a handy shortcut for cliche-loving newspapers on the lookout for a quick way to tell an often complicated story. Jumping (with paper in hand), crying and hugging are evidently visual shortcuts to ‘young person just got their results’ but they’re not the only ones.

Ten Cool Doncaster Marketing Examples (and a couple of very bad ones)

Most of our work is focused on other parts of the world… Northampton, Hinckley, Gamston, Hull, er, Seoul… We don’t do as much as we’d like to locally (pay attention Doncaster business owners!) but maybe that will change soon.

We are, however, always looking around for examples of cool marketing ideas, and sometimes they’re close to home. We had a vote on our favourites from Doncaster (in the interests of fairness, none of them are ours!) here’s what we came up with…

Doncaster Marketing examples


10th: Jimmy’s Open All Hours sign
Pros: Look! That really is where they filmed Open All Hours!
Cons: Is that the best they could come up with?

Bigger Con: The actual shop is somewhere else (actually here)! And it’s a bloomin hairdressers! Bloody marketing!

Where do you get your news from?

Chances are there’s a variety of news sources on your radar, but soon newspapers might not be one of them.

It’s probably about as good a time to start a newspaper as it is to get into pay phones or vhs shops, but that didn’t stop the Independent launching the “I” this year and being the only mashed up tree to see its circulation increase when the last lot of figures came out (thanks to being a:good, b:cheap and c:tv advertised).

Figures for newspaper readership look fairly robust, until you think about where they used to be and where they are going.
