Leap & Wrigley unite!


Leap were recently recruited by Wrigley UK to design a new brochure for the company and give them advice on how to produce the brochure in the most sustainable way. The brochure is on 100% recycled stock, using vegetable based ink, minimises waste and is produced in their main area of local operations.

We're leaping for joy that we are working with internationally recognised company Wrigley and hope to continue and build upon this relationship.

We're absolutely chuffed that Wrigley are employing these sustainable practices.

The new Wrigley brochure is available in 2006. The image featured is just one of many we commissioned for the brochure.

Over and out...

p.s wants some gum?

We've only gone n' won another award!


Fantastically unexpected plaudit for Leap Media! At the recent Cornwall Design Week 2006, Special Guest Amanda Lavete from the internationally famous Future Systems awarded Leap with the Speakers Award for our Recycle for Cornwall final report design work; the culmination of 18 months hard graft!

The funny thing is we didn't even know we'd been nominated let alone won the thing, so grins all round...

Green Futures nominated for Green Award 2006

Some fantastic news for Good Energy just in! They've only gone and grabbed a nomination at this year's prestigious Green Awards for Creativity in Sustainability, and an opportunity to compete with some of the UK's leading pioneers of global change.

Good Energy, formed in 1999, is a company passionate about providing simple solutions to people and businesses that want to reduce their impact on climate change by reducing their carbon dioxide emissions and empowering them to continue change.

All the electricity they supply comes from wind, small scale hydro and solar power generators from all over Britain. They are either small or medium sized sites and many of them are the result of diversification from areas such as farming and other family businesses. Their Home Generation scheme supports the smaller generator and home owner.

Good Energy has been selected as a Green Award finalist for its spectacular Wind Turbine Illumination that advertised this summer's Delabole Wind Fair in North Cornwall.

But why is Leap Media literally 'leaping' for joy at this news do you ask?

Well apart from getting a big green fingered salute of approval from Leap Media because Good Energy is the UK's only 100% renewable energy supplier, the company has also received a sizeable portion of design work from yours truly in the past few months, hopefully helping recruit new customers but also garnering a gust of publicity for the company in its bid to beat Fifteen Cornwall and Recycle Western Riverside to win Green Award's Best Outdoor Ad category.

The annual Green Awards, created by marketing agency, Satellite, have been created to recognise excellent creative work that illustrates and communicates the importance of CSR, sustainable development, and ethical best practice. And they will be awarded to brands or organisations that have demonstrated their commitment to these issues in a creative and effective way across different media platforms and marketing disciplines.

The winners will be announced on the 29th November at the London Guildhall. Leap Media supports Good Energy's nomination and hopes its contributary design work will help raise a smile of triumph in the Good Energy camp, on the night.
