Trev Does Travel
Here’s a new social media project from King James (or should I say+One?).
Trevor Townsend, ‘South Africa’s Travel Blogger Extraordinaire’, was recently launched into a mixture of mediums. Trevor was born when kulula.com approached us to come up with an engaging solution that would showcase their monthly travel deals and leverage social media in an entertaining way. Kulula.com is all about making travel easy and accessible, so working across radio, press, a blog , a twitter account and a facebook page, we created Trevor to become an online persona who would amuse while being informative.
The Team on Trevor:
Writers: Alex van Tonder / Devin Kennedy / Jabu Sigege
Art Directors: Alix-Rose Cowie / Linton Davids
Web designer: Linton Davids
Creative Directors: Alistair King / Bruce Wright
Client Service: Candice Hogg / Melanie de Winnaar / Annemarie Blaensdorf

Plascon:
The latest work done by King James for Plascon. The final title reads “Are you secretly yearning for change?” Quite an interesting approach to selling paint. Hope to get a better quality version soon.

King James Pushes Outdoor Media Boundaries
Hot off the heals of their Gold Loerie-winning Billboard of last year in which they built a billboard out of 6000 puzzle pieces over a 4 week period, Allan Gray and its ad agency King James have once again pushed the boundaries of outdoor media with their latest billboard that was erected last week. In line with Allan Gray’s ongoing strategy of “anything worthwhile usually takes time”, over a three month period a giant three metre by twelve metre quilt was stitched out of twenty four different fabrics, with over nine hundred individual squares. The message ‘Patience is our virtue’ is patterned into the design. This quilt was then literally hung on the billboard.
Alistair Kingof King James comments “the billboard does much more than convey a message about Allan Gray, it demonstrates it in a very real way. Anyone who sees the billboard will appreciate the effort and the time that it took to make it happen, and that is exactly what Allan Gray is renowned for. It’s not what the billboard says that is important, but rather how it says it.”
