The Garden Room by AEG and John Lewis
As keen foodies, we were thrilled to play a part in creating one of the most exclusive pop-up restaurants in London. The unique, interactive four-week fine dining event on the roof garden of John Lewis Oxford Street opened to celebrate John Lewis’ 150th anniversary, and displayed the artistry of some of the country’s most prestigious Michelin starred chefs.
But it wasn’t all dehydrated celery and lobster foam! As well as heading up the event management and creative work, we also captured photography and videography for AEG’s digital platforms and were successful in securing a wealth of regional and national PR coverage.
Taste Festivals
Now seen in 15 countries all over the world, Taste Festivals gather the city’s most acclaimed restaurants and chefs in a stunning venue to present their signature dishes to thousands of ‘foodie’ visitors.
Rave has continuously supported both AEG and Electrolux with their sponsorship of the London, Edinburgh and Christmas Taste events via PR, social media and email marketing and, more recently, we managed Electrolux MEA’s headline sponsorship of Taste of Dubai. As well as organising chef recruitment and managing the three Electrolux branded cooking features, Rave also designed all Electrolux related staging and collateral.
Werner Ladders & ‘The Power’
To increase brand awareness of the world leader in ladders amongst tradesmen, we developed an integrated marketing campaign focused around the UK’s fastest growing sport, darts. A sponsorship deal with the PDC and Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor provided a platform to really engage with end users in a creative and fun way, while showcasing Werner’s product offering.
How? By inventing a new game of course! Gravity Darts is taking the darts world by storm and saw five contestants play live on stage at the World Darts Championship for the chance to win £180,000.
IRWIN Tools
We elevated IRWIN to the second most respected and recalled hand tool brand in the UK, with a fraction of the marketing budget of the market leader.
Along with providing creative support for the brand, including TV commercials for the QuickGrip and Lock ’n Load products, we implemented a number of ground breaking campaigns for IRWIN. These included the launch of the IRWIN Xpert Handsaw (20 marketing elements into 15 countries) and the prestigious Ultimate Tradesmen Challenge.
Having done such a good job on IRWIN’s brand development, our role quickly grew to encompass PR, social media, media buying and managing the IRWIN database of over 50,000 tradesmen and women.
Showcase gets social
We started working with UK cinema chain, Showcase Cinemas, with one clear brief – to drive conversations through social media and grow their Facebook following. The community currently stands at nearly 400,000 highly engaged fans. Thanks to our work, fans know that when they come to the Facebook page, they will engage in conversations that are relevant, useful and fun and find a knowledgeable, helpful team that is passionate about films.
Graco
Our management of Graco’s PR and social media presence raised the bar for levels of interaction within the sector.
In recognition of the results and excelling of targets within the original brief, Graco handed Rave its entire digital work, including search engine marketing and a comprehensive CRM programme that utilised e-mail marketing, plus all media planning and buying services.
Family Time Made Easy
This joint campaign with Zanussi and Reckitt Benckiser targeted expectant and new mothers to communicate the benefits of owning a dishwasher. As well social media content and advertising, we utilised digital and print partnerships with key industry websites and media titles. The campaign achieved a reach of over 16 million impressions smashing the target of 4 million.
Ahead of the 2016 summer of sport, we came up with a concept behind the ‘Win With Colour’ promotion for Johnstone’s Decorating Centre’s to raise the sales of Johnstone’s and Leyland trade paint.
We devised a sales promotion that is running across in-store POS, radio, digital, trade press and social media advertising, along with its own micro site, giving away some ‘Braziliant’ prizes along the way.

Managing Director
With over 25 years of experience under his belt, John certainly knows a thing or two about marketing. His roots as an in-house marketer taught him all he needed to know about strategic communication and high impact advertising before moving to the dark side of agency life. When he’s not heading up a new creative pitch or lecturing at his local University, you’ll find John enjoying a round of golf with friends and clients (all in the name of business, of course).
