EquatorLive. WeBlog, therefore we are.

This year I embarked on a whistle stop tour of parts of South East Asia, travelling through Singapore, Malasyia and Thailand.

While walking along one of the main roads, Bukit Bitang, in Kuala Lumpur, Malasyia, I noticed an advertising campaign for one of our Equator clients, HTC. As I got closer I recognised that this was using the concept that Equator had produced for the HTC Touch HD2. Pretty cool to see something we had worked so hard on, many months ago, in situ thousands of miles away in Kuala Lumpur, where I had least expected it.

We had an exciting few months at the end of 2008 as our first ever TV advert hit the air. The Ad was for OXY’s relaunched skincare range targeted for teenage boys. An exciting new product (the first on the shelves to be aimed solely at this group) and an exciting campaign for us (our first integrated TV, pack and digital campaign)

If you know anything about us, you’ll know that we are clear about the fact that we’re a digital specialist and don’t do offline work. So when the guys at OXY liked our ideas enough to ask us to create their TV ad too, we were nonplussed. But delighted of course!
