It has been a very busy winter and spring (when it arrives!) looks like it will be just as action packed. We’ve added some of this recent work to our online advertising section and also the company website section. A lot of the new work has a social network flavor with highlights including the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards website and mobile site that utilises Youtube, Twitter and Flickr to create manageable content on the go plus online video banners for Tourism New Zealand that allow users to share the video straight from the banner ad itself using Facebook and Twitter. To top it all off the Western Springs Diamond Geezers won the Auckland Football Division 2 Championship! Div 1, here we come!

Our congratulations to Invivo Wines, recent winner of the AMCOR Innovation in Wine Marketing trophy for their Wine Brand Marketing. Salt designed the website which formed part of their entry. Judges commented “Strong, linear, clear, and powerful as well as eye catching, it would translate well globally and stand out amongst the crowd. Every aspect was executed with outstanding application. It is a youthful and vigorous creative execution on what we expect was a limited budget, and the brand and campaign has great versatility and oozes confidence and passion.”

New Zealand post-rock gods Kerretta release their debut album “Vilayer” today on CD and download formats. Salt Design created the album artwork. The vinyl version is available in August and can be pre-ordered at Undertheradar.co.nz.
