To support Blue Day (for The Tom Prince Cancer Trust) SRF organised an invasion of Smurfs willing to pose for photos, collect donations and raise awareness of this worthy cause at Hovertravel’s Southsea Terminal. As well as involving Hovertravel staff and collecting money, this story received good local coverage and even had a mention in PR Week.

Chineham Park’s newest customer, Computer 2000, moved over 500 staff to Basingstoke’s leading business destination. SRF’s brief was to produce a creative image to support local, regional and business media coverage.

Earlier this year a demonstration all-electric car, powered by four YASA Motor engines, was showcased in Birmingham. With over 850 horsepower, this Lola-Drayson B12/69EV is as fast as a Formula 1 car. We were given access to the factory where these awesome motors are built so we could create some visually engaging imagery to help tell their story.

In with the new

Gatwick Express invested in new gates for both Victoria and Gatwick Airport stations, which opened on 31 December 2011, so we used this image to convey the ‘out with the old and in with the new’ message.

Meteor meet and greet parking has always kept a strong sense of seasonality on its website. This topicality is essential for a travel company and helps to engage visitors. SRF has created and produced the images which has made this website a firm favourite amongst travellers and helped the company become the biggest meet and greet airport operator in the UK.

Bonkers for conkers

We used the game of conkers to make a great story for Hovertravel. It was on the Isle of Wight that the first use of horse chestnuts was recorded in 1848, so both hovercraft and conkers were invented on the Island. We also used conkers for a seasonal image for the Meteor meet and greet parking website.

The Bestival beckons

Sometimes a photograph is too good for PR purposes and for our PR activity for Hovertravel around the forthcoming Bestival, we needed a more illustrative feel to the imagery. By trying several apps we were able to cost-effectively create an original cartoon which is much more in keeping with the vibe of this event.
