Picture perfect win for Staniforth

It’s not usual for PR Media Blog to ”big up” its benificent parent, Staniforth , but if you would indulge us for a moment…

This week, at the North West CIPR Pride Awards, the agency scooped the Best Use of Photography awards for its work supporting the launch of the Fibre Foundation.

In short, we persuaded cricketer and Strictly Come Dancing alumnus, Mark Ramprakash, not only to undress but be anatomically decorated to show the vital organs that benefit from a fibre-rich diet.

As with any good picture, it tells a thousand words; and this went down well with the national media.

The CIPR judges said: “This campaign was built on outstanding use of photography to communicate messages about public health. The use of cricket player, Mark Ramprakash, added celebrity endorsement, but the creative genius was to use body paint in a way to create very striking visual images. The campaign is memorable and reaches the client’s core target publics.”

Now you can get on with eating your Bran Flakes.

In fibre we trust

Monday, September 22nd, 2008 by Jon Clements

A simple but relevant idea; an appropriate celebrity sporting a few tins of body paint and you’ve got a winning PR campaign.

This is exactly what we did today for the launch of the Fibre Foundation, an organisation founded to educate people on the health benefits of eating fibre. By getting cricketer and more lately Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Mark Ramprakash, to strip off and have the vital organs helped by eating fibre illustrated on his skin, we had a great photo that fitted with the overall campaign theme.

The result? More than 130 pieces of media coverage today alone. Now, please pass the wholemeal spaghetti.
