Social Media websites for the Conservatives

Monday, November 2, 2009

How MPs and candidates can harness the ‘Obama effect’ in the UK, and why they should be doing that now.

With the Conservative Party conference now over, hundreds of MPs and PPCs and looking at ways to spread the message, open dialogues with voters and have the biggest effect at the General Election.

The usual constraints of budget, time and resources still apply, but somehow voters want more – a personal experience, information when and where they want it and talking points to share in the pub or at the bus stop.

We are developing next-generation websites with Conservatives to deliver just that, in a clear, accessible way that builds communities online, on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and others.

Flexible, intuitive, secure and with time-saving automation features, the model is the market leader in websites for Conservative politicians.

Your website can reduce costs, improve efficiency, engage voters better than ever before and even bring donations and assistance in to your campaign.

See Mark Garnier’s website (PPC, Wyre Forest) as an example.

Each website, with all social media integration, costs just £500 per year.
 

A New Look For Ape Action Africa

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Re-branded with new Mendip Media video content, Ape Action Africa is going for gold.
It needs to raise over £100K to meet its commitment to the hundreds of gorillas, chimps and monkeys it looks after, not to mention the Cameroon staff who care for them in their jungle sanctuary.

Mendip Media is teaming up with the primate charity based at Bristol Zoo to help with its online marketing and PR. Video will form a large part of the fundraising drive.

“We’re really pleased to be helping the trustees with marketing the new look charity in the UK,” says Nicky Robertson, Mendip Media’s Creative Director.

“We’ve a long standing association with Ape Action Africa. I’ve seen some of the baby gorillas and chimps rescued from appalling circumstances recover and grow into healthy animals thanks to its amazing work. We’ll be there for Ape Action Africa for as long as it takes …”

And over the next few Discovery Channel’s hard hitting Bushmeat documentary Going Ape is back with more compelling and heart rending stories about the orphaned apes that have lost everything to the poachers.
 

Video Kick Starts Museum Display

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

One of Somerset's premiere tourist destinations, the Rural Life Museum, has unveiled a new Mendip Media video to deepen understanding about rural industries.

Sponsored by South West Screen, the museum in Glastonbury officially opened the long awaited refurbishment of its country skills section, with an audio visual display giving insight to the changing nature of work in the countryside.

Focussing on four rural industries - fishing, cider making, willow weaving and peat extraction, the 3 minute film combines archive footage with newly shot material of modern day practices.

"This takes our display to a new level and is the first time we've combined the artefacts and their narrative with a carefully conceieved film display", says Museum Manager, Estelle Gilbert. "We're delighted with what Mendip Media has achieved."
 

Riding High With Peugeot

Monday, May 11, 2009

Peugeot commission Mendip Media to tell the video story behind the making of their Rapport magazine.

Manchester and London offered two very different settings for Peugeot’s take on two of their most popular models – the re-launched 4007 SUV and the dapper about-town 308.

Mendip Media was there to capture the flavour of the daylong photo-shoots for the online Ezine produced by Bristol based publisher Specialist.

Olympic BMX star, Shanaze Reade, was on hand to give a total sports feel to the tough 4007 - which easily cruised the massive berms or banked hills at Manchester brand new BMX track. Using clever lighting to snap stunning jumps by the cycle athlete, the photographers created a gritty, urban look to complement the car’s robust image.

Pinewood studio was the more sedate setting for an intense day of special effects. The Specialist team lit the space and showed off the 308 at its very best.

 

Celebrating a Lifetime of Achievement

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Commissioned to explore the conceptual vision of one of the UK’s most prolific and famous sculptors, Mendip Media has been on an extraordinary filming odyssey.

At 83, when most octogenarians are taking it easy, David Wynne is a remarkable, single-minded artist. His most well known sculptures are in front of the PepsiCo Headquarters (Grizzly Bear) in LA and on London’s Embankment (Boy with Dolphin).

The short video clip captures the sculptor at home amongst his maquettes and object d’art.

In conversation and at work, he talks about his sculptures and how his philosophy of being true to the subject has led him to a heightened realism that at once both respects the true physicality of form whilst exposing the inner being caught in a moment of movement.
 

Peugeot Packages a Video Punch

Wednesday, January 21, 2009

As Peugeot fully embraces online, Mendip Media has produced 3 ‘top gear’, style video brochures to help market its small cars.
With well-known commentator, Jason Barlow, presenting the 107, 207 and 308 range, there are 15 clips that give in depth, high quality information to persuade would be punters into a Peugeot.

Filmed in chilly February conditions at a test track in Surrey and at a studio in Bristol, the project presented creative challenges which gave our team a real filming conundrum as they overcame snow, ice and power cuts.

The clips will also feature in Peugeot dealerships as POS film that give the interested browser a real feel for the cars.
