3. John New
I have a few decades of experience under my
belt and carried out a variety of roles within the
marketing industry.
I started out as a graphic designer but got a bit
frustrated with the fact that the big decisions and
directions came downstream to me. I wanted to
be part of that stage in the chain.
So I did. I moved up in marketing and
communications and finally headed up the
international corporate communications and
marcoms for a group of agriculture and food
companies within the Imperial Group empire.
This fired up a love affair with advertising which
led me to move on to adland and to jointly owning
a creative agency for 10 years.
I now operate a marketing and creative consultancy.
The following pages attempt to provide some
insight into my experience and expertise.

4. The task:
The concepts, copywriting (with my
copywriting team mate), design and
production of in-branch posters,
point-of-sale, advertising, leaflets and
direct mail to account holders of
this building society with a ‘middle-
England’ customer base.
Two examples of many campaigns created over a two year
period to give this well respected brand a more arresting
message to lift the brand from hitherto tired and ignorable
(wallpaper) communication.The direct marketing campaigns
always exceeded reponse and conversion targets.
5. The task:
Responsible for the primary B2C
and B2B marketing communication
for Dimplex, the largest manufacture
of heating products.
Work included someTV, radio,
consumer press advertising, DM,
sales literature, product catalogues,
exhibition work and corporate
communications.
I worked on all the advertising, sales
literature and sales promotion of domestic
radiators, heating systems, gas fires, electric
fires, shower systems, fan heaters, panel
heaters, storage systems.

6. The task:
Ideas creation, copywriting, design
and production of UK direct mail
programmes to generate footfall and
establish Disneyland Paris as a major
destination in Europe.
This work played an influential part in
generating the most visitor numbers
from any other European country.
Examples of direct marketing
campaign work produced over
a 2 year period
7. The task:
The Hardy Country
brand was to be a
Guest beer in London pubs.
The use of posters and beermats
(lost my samples) to promote the
beer required that the message be
fast and yet project the specialness
of the brand.
The pure real ale of the product
and the pure beauty of Dorset
provided the thirst-quenching
creative solution.
8. The task:
To regenerate the English Courtyard
brand that had lost its position as
the market leader at the top end of
retirement properties.
We carried out one-to-one research
amongst residents.The resulting
insights, common cultural traits and
preferences informed the approach to
the content, look, copy style and tone
of voice for all the national and local
adverting and sales
support collateral.
9. The task:
Global Herbs, famous for their
natural treatments and supplements
for the equestrian market were all
set to launch a new product range
into the vast poultry-keeping sector
and needing a brand positioning
strategy, marketing collateral,
packaging and product
labelling.

BreathFree is the wonderful natural
way to help chicken maintain clear

comfortable and productive. If extra help
is needed, try combining BreathFree with
Revitalise or ImmunoTech.

miteS inChiCken houSeS
Red mites are about 1mm long and live in
the cracks of chicken houses. When full
with blood, they change colour to red. They
come out at night to feed on the blood of
the birds but can survive for 6 months
without feeding. If owners don’t monitor
their chicken closely they can easily miss
the effect of these mites which live on the
chicken’s blood. On birds with a lot of downey
under-feathering, some mites may live on the
bird during the day.
miteS on ChiCken’S leGS
If you look closely at a chicken’s feet and legs, you will see they are covered in scales.
These should be both smooth and clean. There is a mite that lives in the skin under these
scales. Our Mite Spray is quick and effective for these mites and easily maintains normality.

our Mite spray is a strong concentrated mix of
plants that works for red mites that live in the
crevices of your chicken’s house and feed on your
bird at night. The spray can also be used for mites
that live on your birds‘ legs.Spray the leGS
This strong spray is very
useful to maintain legs free
from mites and scaly legs.
Try one squirt of this spray
on one leg at first to check
for sensitivity and the next
day spray more widely on the
affected leg. Spray legs once
and repeat if necessary in
one week.
Spray the houSe
This spray kills mites on contact
and so is best applied last
thing at night in the cracks and
crevices where mites live. A
particularly important location is
where the perches join the wall
of your chicken house. It is highly
effective but does not have a
residual action when it has dried
out. This means it should be used
each day as required.

weekly treatment of Lice Powder is also

This was to be the first time that
Jewson would engage directly with

would help the consumer by
specifying the products of a project.
The client would

The task:
The company is now working with
global automotive vehicle brands
and needs to look (and sound) like
it.At the same time there would be
a major software upgrade (EVO:8);
the main development being that
the software can now be used on
tablets.
My task was to rebrand the
company and its product and
communicate to the worldwide
automotive industry.
I segmented the company’s target
audience, identified some marketing
insights and created the message
triggers. Out of this work the grew
the updated selling proposition,
market positioning, tone of voice
and visual branding.

It’s hardly surprising that Dealerweb
is so easy to use compared with
other, more cumbersome sales
management systems.
Created by car dealers, with over
70 years experience between them,
Dealerweb is tailor-made for the
motor industry.
It started life, not as off-the-shelf
technology in need of adaption,
but as a system specifically
designed to sell more vehicles,
more profitably.
The 8 Technology software
at the heart of Dealerweb
captures customer data in
real time, enabling
manufacturers and dealer principals
to keep a daily diary of sales
performance in their showrooms.
And thanks to its designers’ inside
knowledge of the motor trade,
Dealerweb is cleverly engineered
to provide bespoke solutions for
every type of dealership, from the
smallest right up to multi-franchise
and multi-site operations.
No wonder it is today used by
national and regional dealer groups
as well as by single-site, single-
franchise independents, together
representing virtually every marque
available in the UK.

Sales lead management system
As if Dealerweb wasn’t already a
wonderfully easy way for the motor
industry to sell more vehicles, more
profitably, it just got even easier.
And if it feels like it was designed
by you, that’s because in a sense
it was. The EVO 8 refinement of
Dealerweb, like Dealerweb itself,
is the product of inside knowledge
of how dealerships work.
In fact, it’s the only sales lead
management system designed
by motor dealers, who have
notched up over 70 years’
experience between them.
EVO 8 gives Dealerweb customers
the very latest of everything in the
form of a system that now functions
on iPad, Microsoft Surface Pro (as
well as on other leading tablets)
and operates on Cloud technology.
There has also been a redesign of
the visual presentation to make it
still clearer to the eye than it
already was, and so that much
easier and faster to assimilate
data. Finally, as you’d expect,
functionality has been enhanced
right across the system, including
state-of-the-art telephony and
e-marketing modules.
For the time being at least, there’s
really nothing more to add.

even easier to sell more vehicles,

12. The task:
A vast range of work over a ten year
period. Creative input ranged across
the tropical aquatic and pond fish
food, care and equipment products
of this word leading brand.
I carried out regular personal
research to understand the needs of
both the retailer and the fishkeepers.
The images below are from pages of
a brochure created to tell the trade
all about the marketing support
Tetra provide. It all features my work.

14. The task:
The Hawthorns, retirement
establishments situated on the
south coast of the UK, asked me
to upgrade their communications
effectiveness to elicit more response.
In the process, I identified a USP
hidden in the communication
material: the only brand in the
market offering retirement
apartments for rent and not for
purchase.
New marketing communication
were then required to unpack this
unique
proposition
and the many
consequential
benefits.

One example from a
series of advertising
that appeared in
national and local
press created to
behave like a volume
sector brand by
offering deals - but
without denigrating
the good name
and reputation of
Mercedes-Benz.
The task:
Mercedes-Benz rationalised its UK
retail network.At the same time it
introduced models priced to sell
in the volume sector against less
prestigious marques.
This new era for MB required a
delicately crafted approach to the
communication.

The task:
The client is a Hospice.As a charity
in these tougher times, it has found
donations have reduced so it was
decided to create a commercial
domicilliary (general) care company
with the net income being fed back
to the charity.
The big communication challenge
was to attract attention to this
new service whilst avoiding the
public mistaking it for the end of life
hospice service.
I was tasked with naming the brand,
inventing the identity and creating
the launch communications.

17. The task:
Commissioned to provide a

the European agent territories
of Stannah Stairlifts. (Four of the
concepts are featured here).
There would also be major barriers
to overcome because of different
social attitudes to disablement and

sufficient numbers of them to cover a

Which is where digital CCTV IP solutions

What’s more, if there is an intruder,
guards cannot be expected tobe
everywhere at the same time, meaning
there can be a lack of information to feed
back to the police. With IP in place, the
