It’s all hands on deck for the launch of Ghost Ship tonight at the Old Stables and East Green in Southwold. But there’s always time to strike a pose – here’s Erika, Adnams’s Vix Savory and Springer Glen testing out the props.

If you want to channel the party in the comfort of your own home, we’d recommend this conversational aid – an English to Pirate translator.

Adnams has repurposed their popular annual wine catalogue, courtesy of Spring, as ‘WineBook’ – a tactile, visually charming and information-rich document that just cries out to have its corners turned down and notes made across its pages.

Spring’s project delivery team has been Nikki Barker, George Bennett and Simon Hazelgrove, with strategic direction from Melanie Welsh and creative direction by Erika Clegg. The project has involved copywriting, design, illustration, artwork and production.

Consumer and Trade catalogues have been distributed this week. Please follow this blog and our website for a full case study soon.

Our eighth judge is a high profile figure in the East Anglian agency world, Chris Murphy.

Chris developed a passion for great advertising and design in his youth and entered the agency world as an “office Boy Friday.” His career progressed to a management buyout of an agency in 1990, which was followed by a merger in 1997 to create Fox Murphy.

This agency became one of the biggest outside of London with clients including Aviva, Barclays, Adnams, Pret a Manger and Disney.

Chris sold the agency to the senior management in 2008 and Chaired the newly named Balloon Dog until exiting the business in spring 2011.

His passion now is to help others be the best they can be personally and professionally. He is opening a Norwich Centre for a national charity, Christians Against Poverty, in spring 2012.

Judge seven, Steven Bennett-Day is the Creative Director of Skive, an independent digital agency in London. He creates global campaigns for Carlsberg, Nestlé KitKat, Nestlé Aero, Vauxhall, Tetley, Dunhill and London Fashion Week.

Before Skive Steven held board level Creative Director positions at Soup, where he won clients such as innocent drinks, BSkyB and ABF Foods Group. Then Green Cathedral where he was part of the management team to take the agency from 84th to 13th in the NMA Top 100 in just one year.

He understands how to weave different technologies, channels and human motivation together for maximum commercial impact. He likes tinkering with stuff like Processing, Arduino and toys to make odd things talk to the internet.

Steven has been recognised for his work over the last 20 years through many creative and effectiveness awards.

Our fifth judge is Gary Walker, the multi-award winning Creative Director at the UK’s largest and most awarded advertising agency, Abbott Mead Vickers.

He has been responsible for campaigns for a diverse range of clients from Sainsbury’s to Guinness, from BT to the BBC, from the RSPCA to The Economist.

His twenty-year career has seen his work being recognised at every major international awards show worldwide including a very special honour from The United Nations for an Anti Gun-Crime commercial he produced.

Gary passionately believes that insightful, original creativity is the lifeblood of any brand – without it they will whither and die, with it they can flourish and grow.

That is the responsibility of a creative.
