Have your say
The Neighbourhood Plan is a community plan to manage development in the next twenty years to maintain a balance of economy, environment and social needs. Truro City and Kenwyn Parish joined together to work on the plan and asked Creative Edge to produce a leaflet which would provide the opportunity to gather public opinion. We went on to disguise a Scout trailer into a display for a day in Truro gathering more opinion and highlighting the opportunity to have your say in how Truro and Kenwyn Parish are developed. The event sparked a lot of interest from a diverse range of the community.

Superfast Wrapped Up
We are used to unusual requests around this time of year and this year was no exception. As part of the ongoing marketing work for Superfast Cornwall, Creative Edge were asked to supply a large sheet of branded wrapping paper to launch an early Christmas present to another five Cornish Communities - including the well known 'broadband slow spot' of Trispen.
The announcement was particularly welcomed by the village's residents, who have been waiting for faster broadband for about four years. Rob Trethewey, the chairman of St Erme Parish Council, which covers the Trispen area, said: "This is fantastic news, a very important step forward for Trispen. It's the best Christmas present the village could have been given.

What a Performance
Creative Edge have created a vibrant advertising campaign for Imerys Performance Minerals.
The adverts use statistics to communicate messages on the diverse range of products and areas covered by Performance Minerals and have been carried through to exhibition panels. Designer Leo Stockley said,'We wanted to portray the diverse range of products by utilising facts and figures related to the Performance Minerals. The adverts needed to work in several languages, so it was important to not get the messages lost in translation'.

The One That Didn't Get Away
This simple initiative aims to reduce marine litter by involving one of the key stakeholders, the fishing industry. Member vessels are given hard-wearing bags to collect marine litter that accumulates in their nets during fishing operations. Filled bags are returned to the quayside in participating ports and moved to secure containers ready for safe and responsible disposal.
As well as the obvious environmental impact of marine litter, research has shown it costs the fishing industry on average, £10,000 per boat, each year, through contamination of catches, broken gear, and fouled propellers. Vessels surveyed, spent an average of 41 hours a year removing marine debris from fishing gear. These are costs that fishing vessels cannot afford to absorb. Participation in the project will contribute towards the permanent removal of debris and marine litter from fishing grounds, which not only makes good financial sense, but also helps fishing vessels meet the requirements of the Responsible Fishing Scheme.
Fishing for Litter South West aims to establish a network of 6 harbours, recruit a minimum of 60 fishing vessels and recover 200 tonnes of marine litter. A percentage of the waste that comes ashore will be monitored to try to identify the source of the litter and establish if there are any regional differences. The information will also be fed into international monitoring programs such as OSPAR’s Marine Litter Monitoring Working Group.
The project is being co-ordinated locally by a Project Officer based at Seafood Cornwall Training in Newlyn and overseen internationally by KIMO UK. See what Creative Edge has done for Fishing For Litter

Designing Design My Break
Launched today, the ‘Design My Break’ initiative is designed to help improve the lifestyle of young people and provide a positive legacy for the future. It builds on GE’s existing involvement with the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) to support their Get Set education programme for the last three years. GE is also working with a number of partners on the initiative including the LOCOG/Food Standards Agency ‘SmallSteps4Life’ programme, the Youth Sports Trust, the Schools Food Trust and the Department of Health.
Creative Edge were brought in to oversee the design elements of the project including the identity, flyers, posters and website. To complete the identity an afternoon of photography was arranged at a Bristol school, with fantastic results. 21 enthusiastic pupils got to experience being under the glare of studio lights and camera, whilst the Design My Break identity and marketing materials were brought to life with a superb set of images.

Forget freaky Friday, go get fundraising!
Friday the 13th is normally a day to avoid, but not this Friday as it sees the annual return of Red Nose Day and an outbreak of red painted fingernails in the studio! Red Nose Day serves as a timely reminder that businesses all have a role to play in the wider community. The money raised by many thousands people, goes not just towards worthy projects overseas, but also projects much closer to home. Last night the BBC local news ran a short piece about the Women's Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre in Bodmin who have received funding towards its Art programme. Last year Creative Edge worked together with the WRSC to produce an inspirational book containing many thought provoking, emotional and highly creative pieces of art and poetry submitted by the young women who worked with professional artists.
You can see the full news article on the BBC site or take a look at some page samples here.
