Blak Labs goes green for Fuji Xerox Papers
Our latest campaign for Fuji Xerox Singapore. Driving the message home to consumers around the CBD are digital, posters and a fleet of newly designed trucks that highlight Fuji Xerox green credentials. Each truck features a QR code which when snapped by passers-by, takes them to a site (www.tree.sg) where they can register for a free “Go green” seminar on energy conservation sustainability and improving efficiency in the office.
The visual features a eucalyptus tree, which was hand-cut by partner Nick Tan over 3 days.
The insight for the idea comes from the fact that Fuji Xerox replants 3 trees for every ton of paper harvested. The campaign launched on World Environment Day
You Print. We Plant. “Consumers don’t think twice about the type of paper they use everyday. So we wanted to remind them to choose papers that exercise environmental responsibility. It’s one small act that can make a big difference down the line.”
Client: Fuji Xerox Singapore

This spot for Maybank Singapore’s Family & Friends rebate card is the first work from our new integrated micro-agency Blak Labs. The spot was shot in Perth by Moviola’s Tai Heng, posted at Black Magic Design in Singapore. Music was produced by Song Zu with Gerald Fitzgerald directing the performance in Sydney. Great work by Hwee Peng Koh, Nick Tan and Elsa Peck at Blak Labs.

Heaven & Earth Outdoor – Claw
Part of the Heaven & Earth relaunch campaign, this poster was designed to remind people about the spot they’d seen on tv the night before. Strategically located near 7-11s, they certainly cut through the street clutter.

Volkswagen
A couple of posters from an award-winning campaign created way back when. The safety signs idea started life as this installation before making its way onto paper as a poster. Nice one from Benny B.

Heaven & Earth Part deux
Following the success of Bruce, our city-wrecking monster, we built on the platform of clarity by leveraging other famous examples of “moments of clarity”. More stunning art direction on a shoe string, from Cher.

Coca-Cola packaging
When the “Open Happiness” platform started to roll out, we were asked to examine every aspect of the communications to ensure the messaging could be integrated seamlessly. We took this as an opportunity to ensure the messaging worked from “shelf out”. We refreshed everything from the bar code and legals and even built simple stories into the packs. They also turned out quite nice as a series of instore posters. Great work from Alf, Wai Ling and a bunch of others.

Raffles Hotel
Having originated the idea of the Gourmet Food & Wine event, Raffles needed a big idea to revamp its ageing programme.
This mini-campaign was 8 years in the making and a sell out within two weeks.
Incidentally, the account was won in a pitch with Bateys.
Interestingly the work that won in the pitch, was the work that ran.

Carlsberg POS
This phase 2 of the new visual language we created for Carlsberg global – just a selection. Not sure if it’s running anywhere yet. But I’d love to know if anyone’s come across this anywhere.Brilliant shots from Scott Newett, awesome comps from Electric Arts.

Dell
The mother of all pitches and one that most agencies would shy away from. Dell wanted to build its brand and connect with customers. But it didn’t want to lose its original direct, transactional model. Apart being a drawn out exercise in procurement and technology planning, the pitch and the concept needed to be managed centrally for Asia-Pacific and allow for a high degree of customisation by the markets. We had the business for a year before it was realigned into the now-defunct Enfatico. The clients we worked with weren’t happy. Anyway, check out the case study and see how we moved them forward, ending up eventually with a new model that included retail outlets across Asia-Pacific.
