BAFTA 2021 Awards.

Progressive Broadcast Hire commissioned me to do a full-page ad in the Scottish Bafta 2021 Awards programme. The image is from their newly installed lens test room.
The primary purpose of the ad was to celebrate the talent in Scottish film and TV and congratulate the evening’s nominees. Then suggest how Progressive can help them achieve even better results in 2022.

Scottish BAFTA awards

This work was for their full-page advert in the Scottish BAFTA awards programme. It was important to stress that they are the only facility based in Scotland. They are independent and not a regional branch of a company based outside Scotland.

The idea was to use the beams from the spotlights to form the flag of Scotland (St. Andrews Cross)

It’s not the size that counts – it’s what you do with it.

Welcome to Scotland, Alexa. The new Arri Alexa 35 is now available for Scottish film and TV productions. And like anything we do, it will come with our expertise and support as standard.
Small ad-space. A nano-second to grab attention. If you manage that, don’t waste it on putting more info in it. The bare bones will work for you.

I‘m happy with the ‘Welcome to Scotland, Alexa’ headline. It sets up a tone of joyful, eager anticipation that lifts the rest of the copy
