there was heaps of Twitter activity around this activation, which means lots of chat - which we love :)

Group Managing Director Mark Fishwick said, " These appointments are a reflection of the depth of experience we have in both business and the belief that by sharing resources we can provide a more efficient service to our clients and suppliers."

Chris who is a partner in the New Zealand business will be able to work across both markets senior agency personnel and our own key sales managers to introduce a cross Tasman approach to those campaigns that are currently managed individually by the two business and introduce a seamless ease of execution for any Ambient or Experiential campaign.

Where's the best place to get a coffee in Ponsonby? Who does the best flowers in Avondale?

So for the latest campaign, Ambient Advertising worked with Lassoo Media and M&C Saatchi to execute a range of ambient media across small businesses and venues. Media such as food call-outs in café displays, branded tennis balls in dog parks, reverse decals on the bottom of pint glasses in pubs, and stickers on fish & chip paper, prompted suburban residents to share their feedback on Localist as well as use it to find the best places around.

The winner was Matthew Fahd at OMD Melbourne with the name - Ecolites!

Our Ecolites are fully illuminated and can currently be booked in Sydney and Melbourne in pods of up to three cars. Providing maximum impact on the move!

Through an exclusive sales agreement with APN, Ambient Advertising will represent all rail street poster infrastructure effective June 2.

In addition to the poster network Ambient will also represent the local area direct signage to SME businesses throughout the greater metropolitan area.

In addition, we will further enhance the street poster medium with dedicated framing systems to expand the standard 2 sheet format into impactful 6 sheet and 8 sheet inventory.

Mark Vincent; Ambient's NSW and QLD Sales Manager, believes the extended offering is the only true "inner city" network and offers advertisers the creative ability to expand on the standard format and impact consumers at street level in key urban aeas.

We are also working with APN to replicate the deal in Melbourne and will be releasing more information regarding the Melbourne rollout soon.

We will be launching this mobile, 3 sided poster unit at the beginning of July and need a name that is cool enough for Ambient but still reflects what it is.

Josie Luisi from ZO Australia won our winter competition: an all expenses paid trip to Thailand! (Thanks to some great photos of our logo in the strangest of places.) Runners up were Rebecca Winstone from Starcom Mediavest Sydney and Ashley Earnshaw from Mediacom Sydney winning a brand new iPad and Mini Dell Laptop.

At Christmas, Chloe Hardy from OMD New Zealand won the $2000 Christmas shopping spree with the Tip Top mobile billboard campaign that involved us placing mobile billboards in farmers paddocks on the main roads into popular beach holiday hot spots. In Sydney Rebecca Haar from Ikon won $1000 David Jones Voucher, with runners up getting a camera and a iPod nano!

Keep an eye out on our website and facebook pages for more competition craziness, or even better, give your local Ambient Rep a call to get fully updated!

2010 was an exciting time for us here at Ambient that saw us undertaking some great campaigns, launching our Australian facebook page and re-launching our website!

With over 200 fans our facebook page has really taken off - giving our customers a one stop portal to check out what's going on in the world of alternative media and get involved in some fun competitions. In just a few months we have sent someone to Thailand, given away a brand new iPad, not to mention the thousands of dollars worth of shopping spree's we gave away at Christmas, and 2011 is not going to slow us down.

Internally we have grown and there have been some new recruits who have helped us shine; Michael Fishwick joined us as an Account Manager in Sydney in June and Kylie Maughan in December as Operations Manager of Australia. We are now a passionate team twenty strong across Aus and NZ, able to create, plan and execute the best ambient campaigns in Australasia! In addition, to bring us into the new year with a bang we now have a great tagline: Media Where it Counts! Ambient Advertising have pioneered the idea of placing media where you need it most, ignoring standard barriers of entry and two dimensional offerings and we feel this slogan says just what it needs to!

A big thanks to all of our clients who have used us repeatedly over the years; a great example of which is Pedigree who repeated 2009s awesome adoption drive, raising awareness of the vast number of homeless dogs in Australia while allowing people to adopt or foster at the same time! Also to those who have come to us wanting to hit the market with a media-first; Telstra managed to do just that with their Cross City Tunnel advertising, paying for the public's tolls for a full rush hour period!

Then there were some brand new clients to Ambient who allowed us to tear down all boundaries; Pineapple Dance Studio's - what can we say? Random distribution of pineapples in tutu's across city centres was bound to cause a stir, but if you didn't see it, you can still check out how fabulous it looked by visiting our youtube page ambientadvertising! And "Heart of the City" in NZ; turning littered areas into beautiful flowerbeds was definitely a first and was part of a campaign that made national news!

And of course to our street poster clients; we have consistently provided Australia with the highest quality locations and distribution for over ten years and continue to do so. We love street posters - our cost effective way of reaching the masses - and we know you do to!

So thank you everyone and here is to 2011; a year where we vow to raise that bar higher than ever before and keep people noticing your brands! Why be ordinary, when you can be extraordinary?

Have a good one guys

Much Love

Ambient Advertising - Media Where it Counts!

Great campaign that allowed them to broadcast their message on all the information boards around and leading into the tunnel itself.

Campaign was to support Telstra's new G-Force mobile broadband and provided great synergy with that. Check out the below link for more info...
