Polo Mints: Snow Stamp

Polo Mints: Snow Stamp
Your rating: None Average: 9.3 (90 votes)

In December 2009 the entire UK was covered by a fresh, white blanket of snow. To take advantage of the fresh, white snow we produced a tactical ambient idea for a fresh, white mint. A "Polo snow stamp". When stamped in thick, fresh snow it left near perfect replica of the iconic white mint.

"Snow stamping" has been used before but nice, valid ambient for a (well-known?) white mint.

Good, but its so short lived it makes me wonder if its even relevant 5 minutes after its done.

Wasn't this done previously by a company called mindtheCURB or something..? I'm sure there was a lot of stuff on Springwise about a London-based job in 2008/09..? Anyhow, glad to see that examples of sustainable media are being lauded at long last. -R

So The Extreme Sports Company (http://www.extremeinternational.com) did this the year before which is where these guys agency got the idea from, just never the same 2nd time around !

They are a pioneering brand management and licensing company that owns the Extreme brand, one of the world's most unique sports lifestyle brands. We started The Extreme Sports Channel (http://www.extreme.com) which delivers our brand authenticity, credibility and massive exposure 24/7 across the 58 countries and 48 million homes it broadcasts into. From this we run our portfolio of long term licensing partnerships with market leading companies and operate a number of fast growing businesses across the media, consumer products, and service sectors.

Today we are driving and developing Extreme Hotels and Parks (sports based hotels and theme parks), Extreme Drinks, Extreme Element (sports courses and experiences), Extreme TV and Extreme State Apparel. Our vision is to inspire our consumers to explore and experience the sports and way of life that is the Extreme brand. Our mission is to build Extreme into one of the world’s leading sports life-style brands.

We are making this happen by operating in a more strategic and deeply thought through way than most companies in the licensing sector. We pinpoint gaps in specific market areas, bring in deeply experienced sector specialists to work our target categories with us, develop powerful differentiated consumer propositions and then form long term licensing partnerships with industry leading companies that we support through excellent brand and media marketing integrated with world class creative services.
