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. Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. 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. Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. 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. Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. 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. Pitch concepts Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. Our answer • Doesn’t focus on England only and is inclusive of the rest of the Britain • More engaging and challenging for the consumer as it poses a question and invites them to get involved in the campaign • References the light-hearted rivalry between England and Australia • Expresses the courage it takes for any sportsman to perform when their nation expects • References the bravery and patriotism Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014.

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 selling product in the range, the creative had to work in this space Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. The label design elements We made sure the pack featured the dual ECB Buxton logo The use of the Lords cricket ground as the background, themed the pack without being too dominant Increased the logo in size We kept the existing label colours but flipped them Call to action Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. Multi-pack design 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 Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. Who’s Got The Bottle key creative design Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. 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. Who’s Got the Bottle? #GotTheBottle #gotthebottle 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.

During the rest of the series Buxton Water then sponsored ‘Line and Length’. system malfunctions Australia captain reveals full repertoire of strokes on another day when DRS had everyone talking for the wrong reasons, Gideon Haigh writes Y Read the day two verdicts of Mike Atherton and Gideon Haigh online and on your tablet from 8pm Video exclusives Athers picks an Ashes XI from the players he has seen since his playing days Graeme Swann and James Anderson in conversation with The Times 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. Yesterday might be this Test’s best batting conditions, and 300 look ever more imposing. Otherwise the days’s mos batting was by Chris Rogers, most of the early running, co positive, playing late an Unlike most of his team-mat does not go looking for the b he waits, plays it tight into concentration accentuated b pulled down as low as a boo Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014. Press ad For the second phase of the campaign we created a Times ad that used Alastair Cook in a WGTB pose. 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.” Tel: 01908 295750 // cygnusassociates.co.uk // copyright Cygnus© 2014.
