<p>If you were offered a completely new sales channel that was instant, measureable, and cost effective, why would you <em>not</em> be interested?</p>
<p>Social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook are proving to be extremely powerful communication tools for our clients including <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Fathers4Justice" target="_blank">Fathers 4 Justice</a>, <a href="http://www.contrastcreative.co.uk/2010/02/24/the-icecreamists-2/" target="_blank">The Icecreamists</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/masterskenacademy" target="_blank">Master Sken Academy</a>. In particular they can be used to quickly and efficiently for the following:</p>
<p>•	Raising brand awareness<br />
•	Promoting events<br />
•	Promoting new products or services<br />
•	Driving traffic to a website<br />
•	Networking on a local or global level<br />
•	Tapping into new trends<br />
•	Gaining new customers<br />
•	Providing customer service<br />
•	Selling digital downloads (such as music or e-books)<br />
•	Building a database for email marketing</p>
<p>Twitter is THE <a href="http://mashable.com/2010/04/14/twitter-registered-users/">fastest growing social network</a> – if you’re not on Twitter <em>and</em> Facebook yet, you’re missing out and could be losing potential business to your competitors.</p>
<p>If you’ve never used Twitter before and are thinking of trying it out, Contrast Creative run a series of hands-on workshops where we’ll introduce you and your team to some powerful techniques that will get the most from these networks and ultimately drive sales.</p>
<p>For a free consultation and to find out how your company could be benefiting from these networks, <a href="/contact/">contact us here</a> and lets talk!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Ad Campaign 2009]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.highcontrast.co.uk/fashion" target="_blank">High Contrast</a> shot and produced a controversial campaign for the new <a href="http://www.antoniofederici.com" target="_self">Antonio Federici Ice Cream</a> in 2009. Working with creative director Matt O’Connor, High Contrast provided the models, props, styling and photography for the campaign.</p>
<p>The ads rolled out in Delicious Magazine and attracted attention from National Press and from around the globe after the ‘Kiss Temptation’ ad was <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6613435.ece" target="_blank">banned by the ASA</a>.</p>
<p>Antonio Federici Gelato Italiano has recently been Voted Best Ice Cream in the World by The International Ice Cream Consortium 2009 and is now available to buy in Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.</p>

<p>Contrast Creative recently contributed a series of images to an exhibition called &#8216;Hearing Unheard Voices&#8217;. The photographs were created in conjunction with Liverpool’s YWCA and show the prejudice that young girls experience when falling pregnant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dig For Fire approached High Contrast to shoot the campaign photography for Blackburn College.</p>
<p>The brief was to shoot a broad cross-section of students across all courses. This involved us shooting nearly 40 students on site, over a period of two days, capturing each in a number of poses and interacting with props that could then be later used to interact with typography.</p>
<p>The images have so far been used on the Blackburn College <a href="http://www.blackburn.ac.uk" target="_blank">website</a> and will be used across prospectuses and general marketing material for the college.</p>
