a very special project

Hello everyone

We are looking for someone to take on a short-term research project. We estimate it might take 4-8 weeks (this is flexible), and it would need to be completed by the end of September latest.

The aim will be to map/quantify the environmental benefits (and any adverse impacts) to date of our operations and approach to work for our clients. ie Carbon footprint, hourly design versus carbon usage/equivalent, equating the amount of recycled material we've used for us and our clients to trees, landfill, energy, water etc. How much benefit does it make that leap has investments in various windfarms, gets its electricity from Good Energy, offsets using bio-gas/lighting projects in Kenya and many other aspects.

This might suit an undergraduate with environmental audit knowledge/skills. Some of the work would need to be undertaken from our studio, but much could probably be done remotely. Or a live project as part of a degree.

This is a new adventure for us and we would like a passionate, meticulous individual with the appropriate skills to work through this new and exciting stage of Leap. The end results will be illustrated for an event in October showing why Leap is very different to any other design agency.

You can find out more about Leap by visiting the website ( www.leapmedia.co.uk ) and more about this opening by phoning me on 01726 68672 or emailing cwillcocks@leapmedia.co.uk. Please forward this message to anyone you think might be interested!

RE:SOURCEFUL LEAP

we've been on this all year, it's been our biggest single project to date and it's been great. We've named it, branded it, designed every aspect of it. Had our team helping out at Royal Cornwall Show with the RE:SOURCE team, vaccumming before the pre-launch on Friday 29/6/07 and generally having our usual design fun.

It's an incredible project and we were really pleased to win the tender and to be involved at such an all inclusive level. We tried to do as much as possible sustainably even though we were slightly out of our safe zone... till points made from recycled material and completely designed by Leap, everything on wheels so the interior can be changed to fit demand. A welcome area that allows star products to be slotted in an out and doubles up as a sales point. Car park signs made from recycled substrates and car tyres, banners using recycled foamex, jute bags, huge illustrated wall vinyls and even toilet signs made from shape cut recycled yogurt pots.

thanks to the RE:SOURCE team for letting us play and we wish you the greatest of journeys with your brilliant project.
