I wanted to share this little video from a campaign we have just launched with our client Black Sheep Brewery. We partnered with comedian Maisie Adam to create an interesting “Mean Tweets” style video piece about cask beer. The idea was we wanted to dispel some of the common misconceptions that surround cask beer, and tackle the cask trolls, head-on and we got some amusing results. I mean what did we expect with the social web. Maisie has done numerous comedy shows like Mock the Week, Have I Got News for You, and 8 Out of 10 Cats.  Despite being the ... Read more

I saw this campaign recently and thought it was brilliant, it combined my two favourite things PR and dance music. Faithless are amazing and I have seen them on a number of occasions but this time their biggest track of all was used for something very different. Below is a video from behind the scenes at the recording of Insomnia but this one was for a remix as the blurb states: Blissful Sleep Remix – a new version of Faithless’ 90s dance anthem, Insomnia, designed to lull listeners into a deep, restorative sleep in 27 minutes. Brought to you by ... Read more

This is the standard case of the cobbler’s shoes, we shoot hundreds of videos every month but we don’t do enough for ourselves so here is a highlight clip of some of the videos we have done in the last twelve months.

Ikea Norway has shared this brilliant video on what they could do with old Ikea products once they have been thrown away. Their new advert aims to promote Ikea’s offer to buy back furniture that customers no longer need or want, as well as to supply free spare parts for furniture that needs fixing. The company has already started similar programs in other countries such as Canada and Scotland. According to the Norwegian ad agency behind the campaign Try, more than 3 million pieces of furniture are thrown away every year in Norway. I hate to think how many are ... Read more

This is a guest post from Lian Matias, who is the Head of Content at Promo.com. Thinker, creator and enthusiastic about all things video. The advent of internet connectivity changed how we do everything. Today’s technological advancements forced every single one of us to evolve as everything is steered towards online platforms. Thus, even businesses need to pivot online to survive. Staying afloat now equates to staying visible and accessible in the virtual world where your clients are. With the digital revolution, you may have noticed that even marketing works differently. Today, digital marketing is at the forefront, with video content holding ... Read more

This clip shows the making of TikTok’s first TV advert featuring Gordon Ramsey and many others. It has all been filmed on lockdown over 26 days and shows how creative you can get with the platform. We are going to be seeing more and more of this as the once niche platform moves from being a fun viral Vine alternative to a more serious video content player and an overall YouTube competitor. I expect the content areas to become more serious and structured over the next 12-18 months. The recent announcement of its education move is just the beginning of ... Read more

I can’t believe we are already into February but here we are. In the last 30 days, we have been touring the UK giving a number of seminars on the latest emerging Social Media Trends. We have pulled the data for these trends from a huge variety of sources to be able to provide you with a very comprehensive overview. Social Media Seminars However, these seminars are rather lengthy as we tend to look at each social media trend in a lot more detail. However, I know social media marketers are busy making content – so busy in fact, that ... Read more

2019 was a record year for us at Prohibition and I am delighted to say we won a number of awards for our clever content marketing campaigns from both the CIPR and Prolific North. However, the clever brilliant work tends to be done by my team around various boardroom tables as we get together and come up with new ideas to make creative podcasts, infographics, media stories, gifs and videos. In the last twelve months alone our video team has produced more than 80 videos for 40 different clients from across lots of different sectors. Some of the quality of ... Read more

  I thought this video was interesting today, this is the CIPR interviewing Danske Bank’s Vicky Davies and she speaks very eloquently on the fact that reputation is now everything in business. I find this clip quite refreshing as most companies see us PR people as purely press release machines. It’s so good to see a senior board member believing in what PR can help to achieve and maintain – a much better reputation. Often the only time a marketer realises the importance of communications is when the proverbial hits the fan and you need a PR team to deal ... Read more

OK, I will admit it I am a little late to the party on this one but my colleague found this video and shared it with my team and it actually made me laugh, so I thought it was worth sharing on the blog. If you haven’t watched the rather shocking documentary on Netflix about Fyre Festival, where the hell have you been? The documentary gave me both anxiety and a strange sense of relief that we could never do anything as bad as that. I honestly couldn’t believe anyone would dare to act as reckless as the founder of ... Read more
