Garreth Carter is an integrated strategic creative who provides campaign concepts through copywriting and activation platforms. The document outlines two case studies of campaigns Carter developed. The first was for Malibu rum, which involved the "Malibu Mish Mash" tour across the UK featuring music and opportunities for students to mix Caribbean and local styles. This increased affinity scores and social media followers. The second was for Suzuki cars, developing a series of videos called "Suzuki Swift Decisions" that showed people making spontaneous choices involving the car. This drove traffic to the brand's new Facebook page.

- 5. GARRETH CARTER BRIEF Malibu wanted to increase its relevance to its core 18-24 year old audience. They wanted a series of high profile experiential events that toured the UK that could produce digital content and excitement. It had to emphasise the playful, vibrant Caribbean side of the brand while highlighting its mixing versatility. The most head scratching question was how to make it relevant to a student market that were not connecting with the brand?

- 8. GARRETH CARTER KEY CREATIVE STRATEGY Take relevant assets local to the target market and ‘mash it up’ with the Caribbean assets that the brand could bring.
- 9. GARRETH CARTER THE ANSWER The Malibu Mish Mash tour offered the chance for students to mash up their lives with the Caribbean. In conjunction with Kiss Radio and UK music act Example the event focused on ‘Mashing up’ local current music styles with Caribbean flavours. Students could connect digitally before and after the event and mash up their own tunes online with a calypso app. Students were asked to bring mundane items (e.g. toasters, laptops) for a Caribbean paint make over. And of course Mashing up Malibu with different vibrant cocktails.

- 18. GARRETH CARTER BRIEF Suzuki had no social presence in the UK. They wanted to use their youth focused city car ‘The Suzuki Swift’ as a catalyst to drive people to their soon to launch Facebook fans page.

- 21. GARRETH CARTER KEY CREATIVE STRATEGY The Suzuki Swift offers drivers the freedom to make exciting decisions on a whim and explore their city.
- 22. GARRETH CARTER THE ANSWER Suzuki Swift Decisions was a series of three video webisodes. All three focused on where life could take you if you rolled the dice. Using a mixture of comedy, experiential and film making real people were plucked on the day of filming and gave them the chance to make ‘socially activated’ decisions on a whim involving the car. This included ‘Swift Dating’ in the back of the car, a clothes show special where fashionista’s held a ‘Swift Fashion show’ featuring celebrity stylist Gok Wong, and even resulted in the car being air lifted by a helicopter… All on a whim.

- 29. GARRETH CARTER BRIEF I had a hurried phone call from the brand’s internal team two days before a Christmas production deadline. The in house creative team at Ann Summers had not cracked their Christmas in-store advertising and digital content platform for their lingerie. They needed a platform that communicated, like M&S and La Senza, that Ann Summers sell great lingerie all year round. The platform had to be adult, playful and able to spin off into all of their Christmas content channels.

- 31. GARRETH CARTER HOW I DID IT I got the in house team to send me over their Christmas photo shoot with the current activation felt was not working.
