Complete Buxton Case Study
Buxton Water Ashes 2013 campaign.
The brief
Our main objective was to design a bottle label that
clearly conveys the Ashes 2013 campaign message
and promotion whilst maintaining the Buxton Water
brand identity and heritage.
This then evolved into a 360-degree activation from
“In Ground” activity to retail POS.
The target audience also needed to be considered
for the brand as a whole. They needed to retain their
home entertainers (using Buxton Water for parties
and general home consumption) and Image Chasers.
Target audience
Buxton Water is the fastest growing plain water
brand, growing faster than Highland Spring,
and is the 3rd favourite/preferred bottled water
(TNS market research).
The Buxton natural mineral water consumed today
fell as rain over 5,000 years ago and is purified
naturally through the ancient limestone of
the Peak District.

Working as part
of an agency team
We worked closely with Buxton Water’s media
agency and a leading sports marketing agency
to design a campaign that worked across all
media channels. As this campaign was rolling
out across offline and online media we needed
to ensure the CTA and creative was consistent.

Why cricket?
Why now?
Buxton Water’s brand ambassador is the England
Cricket Captain, Alastair Cook, and they also have
a partnership with the England Cricket Board.
The Ashes is the only major sporting event of 2013
post Olympic/Queens Diamond Jubilee year so by
leveraging Buxton Waters association with cricket,
we can create a campaign that continues the
excitement and patriotism of the UK and by doing
so, work towards the brand objective of increasing
loyalty to Buxton Water.

The concept
The first step was to create a call to action for the
campaign which would encompass the essence of
The Ashes series. Showing that Buxton Water are
the official mineral water of the Ashes and for
the first time in the last ten years it’s anyone’s game.
The original strategic start point was England’s
Got The Bottle. We built on this to make it more
of a challenging statement and a clearer
promotional message.

The bottle
creative
Thec reativec onsiderationsw erea sf ollows:
•
Give the label a strong cricketing theme
without overpowering the brand
•
Keeping the Buxton brand logo as
the hero of the label
•
Use the cricket players on pack
•
50cl label is the smallest but best

elements
We expanded the
cricket landscape while
keeping the logo as the
first thing you see
We featured the players only on the
multi-pack as we had the space to do
the images justice rather than on the
single bottle labels

National
outdoor media
We gave the brand a visual twist and used
the product as players!
We placed cricket helmets from each team on
the 50cl bottles and turned them to face each other.
This brought to life the sense of competition and
banter between both teams.

the Bottle?

To give depth to the key image of the bottles we
created a wallpaper of icons representing the two
cricket teams and sport. We gave extra focus to the
lion and kangaroo icons, this reinforced the patriotism
from each country when it comes to this event.

yesterday
ou’re messing with my
career, Darrell,” Mark Ramprakash complained to Hair
of that ilk when disgruntled
to be given out in a Lord’s
Test some years ago. Right or not, at
least Ramprakash knew who to blame.
As Usman Khawaja walked off just
before lunch at Old Trafford yesterday,
he could only shake his head, and
inwardly shake a fist at “the system” —
a technological/bureaucratic nightmare that has become almost a third
competitor in this Ashes series.
Yes, the Decision Review System
(DRS) had another of those days when
it looks like your grandma trying to
make a call on a smartphone and accidentally downloading a snuff movie.
Khawaja, a young man fighting for his
career, was a victim; Steve Smith, ditto,
was a beneficiary. Australia came out
ahead, but the game overall was the
loser,
for
cricket’s
continuing
officiation crisis overshadowed a stoic,
battling hundred from Michael Clarke,
well escorted by Smith.
In the case of Khawaja, Tony Hill,
the umpire, made an honest mistake —
a caught behind from a turning
delivery that left an uneasy Khawaja in
an ungainly position and was the
subject of a convincing appeal.
Doubt abounded, replays multiplied
ambiguities, and technology should
have provided rapid remedy. Yet
despite no definitive evidence to speak
of, Kumar Dharmasena, the third
umpire, elected to uphold the decision,
on what basis one can only surmise.
Hill was then perhaps the only
person in the ground who could see no
reason to give Smith leg-before when
the batsman could only have been
closer to his stumps had he been inside
them. Smith was on nought, and after
three runs in two innings at Lord’s
staring into a career abyss.
Not that it is an unimpeachable
guide, ball-tracker confirmed widespread initial impressions by projecting
an impact flush on leg-stump. Nonetheless, Dharmasena deemed the decision
to be an “umpire’s call”. That it was: a
bad call.
Frankly, these were two “howlers”:
‘As Usman Khawaja
walked off, he could
only shake his head’
the umpiring equivalents of Peruvians
coming from Peruvia, and Gaul being
quartered into three halves. Yet rather
than subtract them from the game, the
DRS cubed them. And from somewhere within the Board of Control for
Cricket in India there emanated a
deep, Mephistophelean chuckle.
The latter decision deprived
England of a referral that would have
come in handy when Hill ventured that
Socrates died from an overdose of
wedlock, and ruled Smith not out
leg-before when the ball would have
struck the dead centre of the wicket.
The only consolation was that Stuart
Broad was the bowler, the ICC’s
unacknowledged Auto-Square-Up-OScope exerting its influence again.
In and around this risible nonsense,
Clarke produced of necessity what he
had been churning out on demand
until a few months ago: a hundred,
albeit after a torrid beginning.
Rather as he has all summer, Australia’s captain struggled for fluency in his
first 30 runs, playing at wide ones,
letting straight ones go that just cleared
the stumps, ducking under short ones
while leaving his bat in harm’s way.
At length he asserted himself with
three boundaries down the ground in
six balls from Swann, two in the air
using his feet. Clarke’s advance on
spinners is not as bold as some others’
— he takes quick, short steps, rather
than his legs forming the prescribed “x”
— but the point is to disturb the
bowler’s length not to annex territory,
and it did the trick as it usually does.
Once settled, Clarke felt his powers
coming back. Three boundaries from
Broad bespoke his class: a superb pull
in front of square, a deft parry over the
cordon, and feathery glide through a
vacant third slip, all from quite similar
balls, short and on the line of the body.
It was reminiscent of Len Braund’s line
about bowling to Victor Trumper: “I
put ’em where I like, then he puts ’em
where he likes.” With Clarke on 99,
Swann set a 3-6 field, and bowled
straight at the stumps from round the
wicket. Clarke found a gap anyway, his
jog through belying the momentousness of Australia’s first century of the
summer. Twice reprieved, Smith
flourished in his slipstream.

For the second phase of the campaign we created

Driving people to use the hash tag was key as it has
been throughout the campaign.
We created a specific ad when England
retained the Ashes and designed
a Buxton Water generic ad.

Andrea Cahill, Buxton Water brand manager at
Nestlé Waters, said:
“The Ashes always creates such excitement and
so it made sense to launch a campaign playing
on the light-hearted English-Aussie rivalry.
We came up with the ‘Who’s Got The Bottle’
campaign to inject some fun behind the
Buxton brand as well as grab consumers’
attention and rally their support for the home
team. We’re proud to be involved in such a
creative campaign that not only creates a buzz
at such an exciting time for sport but also
highlights Buxton’s British heritage.
We’re confident that our multimedia campaign
will gain visibility nationwide and remind
consumers of Buxton Water wherever they are
enjoying the cricket this summer.”
