3. A WORD, IF I MAY...INTRO
Growing up by the beach, I am lucky
enough to have taught, worked, and
competed in a huge variety of different
sports since I was a kid...
I think with most sports as with life in
general, you pretty much get out what
you put in.
I’m always grateful to have personally
gotten so much out of sports over the years
- the sheer exhilaration, the focus, and the
inherent sense of achievement, but also the
great friends, the travel, and the balanced
lifestyle that goes with it all.
The Brandwave team come from a pretty
broad spectrum of sporting backgrounds
but we all share the same passion. We love
our work and we’re collectively proud to be
a growing part of an industry that actively
promotes sports to a wider audience.
When I first started the company,
I never dreamed that we would work with
some of the iconic brands, athletes, and
associations that we do today.
We love being inspired by our clients
and we’re happily obsessed with
creating innovative, fresh and exciting
new campaigns.
We think the most important bit of any new
marketing project is to really understand
the mindset of the target audience. For the
most part, I reckon that we’ve got that bit
covered before we even get started...

BRANDWAVE HQ
At Brandwave, home is where the surf is. Our offices are located near the historic city of Chichester, about an hour
south of London, and just a stone’s throw from some of the best surfing and windsurfing on the south coast. A short
drive north brings you to the South Downs, and some pretty epic mountain bike trails in the surrounding hills.
Creative meetings usually take place in the forest room, our little slice of office nirvana, or outside on the deck with
a bean bag and a beer. All things considered, it’s not a bad place to be.

The Clipper Round The World Yacht Race offers non-professional
sailors the opportunity to compete in a unique, life-changing round
the world yacht race, covering 40,000 miles.
In 2012, we were selected by Clipper Ventures as their new global

ACHIEVE SOMETHING REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN
We created the ‘Achieve Something Remarkable’ campaign, to emotionally
engage with potential crew through the real-life stories of seven crew
members from the Clipper 11-12 Race.
Through studio photography and individual crew movies, we captured the
unique stories of the seven selected crew members; from why they chose to
sign up, what experiences will stay with them, and how their outlook on life
had changed since completing this unique challenge.
Our campaign was subsequently shortlisted as a finalist for the 2012
Charted Institute Of Marketing ‘Excellence In Marketing Awards’, and
2013 The Digitals ‘Celebrating Digital Excellence Awards’.

#WATCH MY STORY CREW MOVIES
The challenge of the recruitment campaign was to develop a creative platform that
harnessed the emotion of the race, telling the inspirational stories of past crew members
whilst emphasising the rewards and benefits to prospective crew. We created an integrated
multi-media B2C campaign, interviewing and producing movies of the selected crew to
effectively tell their stories, many of which are truly incredible… they certainly inspired us.

20. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, the RNLI, is an
internationally respected charity that ensures the safety
of beach users around the UK coastline everyday.
Founded in 1824, their lifeboat and lifeguard teams have
saved in excess of 140,000 lives.
As regular beach goers and with a huge amount of
respect for the work RNLI do, Brandwave were honoured
to be selected as the lead agency for a new campaign to
help build awareness of beach safety across the UK and
support the charity that saves lives at sea.
RNLICLIENT
21. “YOU DON’T NEED TO PACK THE LIFEGUARD” PRINT ADS
For the print ad imagery, we worked alongside real RNLI lifeguards on the studio photo
shoots. To ensure we effectively captured the essence of the campaign, we recreated
typical scenarios experienced by families preparing to head to the beach throughout the
summer. The print adverts were placed in strategic locations in the South of England and
along key coastal routes including service stations.
“YOU DON’T NEED TO PACK THE LIFEGUARD” CAMPAIGN
For the new Beach Finder App campaign, we developed a fresh creative concept based on the
message “You don’t need to pack the Lifeguard”. This innovative new creative uses humour
to convey a very serious message, which fell in line with the RNLI’s overall brand values and
approach to beach safety. This was primarily aimed at young families heading to the beach.

Online activity for the campaign was centered on social media videos to
further express the importance of lifeguarded beaches and also to generate
engagement with the RNLI across social media channels. Lifeguards played a
central role on both shoots and helped bring the creative concept to life and
ensured the campaign connected with families on a personal level.

25. THE NORTH FACECLIENT
Continuous feedback from their athletes and over forty years of
product development experience means The North Face is a brand
that is synonymous with functional innovation, and consistently pushes
the boundaries of design possibility.
We began our relationship with The North Face in 2011, designing and
building their exhibition stand for the ISPO tradeshow in Munich.
Working with The North Face gives us access to some of the most
inpirational athletes and product stories in the action sports market.
26. THE NORTH FACECLIENT
EXPERIENTIAL PODS
As part of our concept for the ISPO exhibition stand, we designed and built two experiential pods to communicate the new
PATROL 24 ABS Pack and MERU product stories. The pods were fully interactive with seamless screen technology and omni-
directional speakers allowing users to completely immerse themselves in the new hero products. We worked with three times
snowboarding world champion, Xavier De Le Rue, to develop the new creative campaign and explain how ABS technology based
products, such as The PATROL 24 series, can save lives when avalanches occur.

EXPERIENTIAL PODS
We worked closely with ABS and The North Face to really understand the new product’s USPs and
the marketing objectives. The North Face wanted to convey the product’s attributes in a simple
manner which would translate across a broad range of target markets. Therefore, we designed the
pods to explain the product stories in a technically accurate and aspirational way, so they were easily
understood by the end user.
Clockwise from top left: Xavier De le Rue talks through the features of the PATROL 24 ABS Pack at ISPO. The avalanche

28. NEILSON HOLIDAYSCLIENT
Neilson have been in the action sports holiday industry for 37
years and are one of the leading active holiday companies in the
UK. Having won multiple industry awards, they have a wealth of
experience and an unrivalled team of experts offering a superb
range of active holidays, all around the world.
In 2012 we were chosen as the new lead creative agency to help
the brand take their marketing communication to the next level.
Our first challenge was to create a new Beach Clubs 2013
marketing campaign. Neilson were keen to focus on all of the
positive activities experienced whilst on a Neilson holiday and to
hero their loyal customer base.
29. TO BE NEILSON CAMPAIGN
Drawing on a detailed brief and our own experiences of the brand we created the
‘To Be Neilson’ campaign. The campaign focused on the key emotions felt by each
of the target markets – mums, dads, teenagers and kids. The strong, yet simple
creative template is instantly recognisable as Neilson, it sells the values of the
Neilson brand and allows for an integrated campaign which works across all online,
print and cross track advertising on the London Underground, HTML emails
and brochures.
Neilson really know what motivates their target markets and few campaigns we have
worked on have allowed us the opportunity to work on such an emotive and broadly
integrated creative.

aspects of each product, using highlights and callouts of the product
features and end user benefits to ensure trade customers were fully
informed on each product.
44. PRINT BROCHURES
With key product categories throughout HEAD’s skiwear range, it was essential for users of
the catalogues to find the products they required easily and quickly. By using an innovative
tab cutting method, step-indexing, each product category is clearly identifiable for the user
and the catalogue itself maintains it’s stability by reducing the risk of dog-eared tabs and
pages – looking great and remaining practical for the sales representatives.
DIGITAL BROCHURES
Building upon the requests of sales staff for a more portable option of the trade catalogue,
we developed an interactive digital version optimized for iPads. By embedding videos and
lookbooks onto key pages, we ensured that sales representatives had all the content they
could possibly need for a meeting with clients, while providing inspiration for buyers and
retailers. With an intuitive menu and clear guidelines for use, the digital brochure has been
shared with sales staff across Europe in two languages, English and German.

52. BrandingDesigning a new corporate or product identity is one of the most important and
challenging parts of any brand’s creative development. We have built a solid
reputation for designing innovative and unique branding that work across multiple
product categories and target markets. Whether it’s the first basic product logo or a
complete corporate rebrand, we love creating branding that is as fresh as it is iconic.
BRANDINGWORK
EVENT BRANDING
It rains a lot in the UK, so when the sun shines everybody makes the most of it! GBB is
a unique festival that combines a plethora of core action sports with many of the UK’s
hottest up and coming music acts. For the GBB brand identity we wanted to take the
classic 60’s Endless Summer aesthetic and combine it with an edgy, modern Andy
Wharhol-esque fluro update.

RE-BRAND
From super yachts and dinghies to arboriculture and winch lines, Marlow consistently produce the most
sought after performance ropes in the industry. For the Marlow re-brand we were inspired by the rope
making machinery in the Marlow factory and used the photo of the machinery as a basis for a clean
new creative template that has been utilised in all elements of the marketing mix across the world.
54. Web
WWW.SEVERNESAILS.COM
We used Drupal 7 to build the core content management system of the new Severne
website. Key features on the new website include a custom made product finder to enable
users to select the correct sail and accessories for their board type and windsurfing
conditions as well as a bespoke dealer finder powered by Google Maps.

experience of designing and building websites. We know what works, what looks good, what

we’ll create a web platform that sets your brand apart from the competition.
WWW.NEILPRYDESAILING.COM

WWW.MARLOWROPES.COM
For Marlow, we delivered a clean, modern and identifiable website built in Joomla, with a
template that distinctly categorises each of the brand’s target markets. The new website
incorporates a bespoke global retailers page enabling users to pinpoint their nearest Marlow
dealer via a detailed radius search. Other features include an updated Marlow TV page which

greater level of interactivity and highlighting Marlow’s continued support of the sailing industry.

56. WINDSURFING SAILS
Communicating the 3D design element of windsurfing sails is extremely difficult in a 2D
environment. To overcome this we conducted a studio photo shoot using a new product
styling technique set against a black background. The style of this photography is unique
within the industry and heavily influenced the Severne creative template.
Studio
PhotographyThere are very few challenges we find as rewarding as creating bold, dramatic or striking
images to compliment our creative campaigns. The effect of great photography is unique
and undeniable, which is why we work with some of the most talented and sought after
photographers in the industry. Whatever your product USPs or your creative brief, our
studio can make anything, or anyone look great.
