Im glad you guys are liking it

Yeah we noticed the skipping man but we were under huge pressure to deliver it on time, so we did as much as we could, theres still some tidying up to do and we will overwrite the file when we got it together, the client who paid wont notice the little tweaks but we want to get it as perfect as we can.

One day last week I started at 9am and finished at 6am, was back in work by 12.30pm, so you can see how rushed we were to get it done.

Hog I really hope you can see it, its cool.

ps, we were checking out some of the names on the list it got mailed too, names like Maureen Taylor, sounds like an old woman to me, I hope it freaks her

you said the names wouldnt be retained?

Jack Ruby · Post by **Jack Ruby** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 9:55 pm

The names of people you forward it to wont be retained also your name wont be if you entered by that front page that I posted.

We got the list of names from a data company and there was a mail out this morn to 50000 people, some of the people on that list also get a package posted to them, its like a case file folder, with a bunch of newspaper clippings which have your name in, theres polaroids of what looks like dead bodies, theres an evidence bag with a piece of bloody rag in it

I really think we are gonna scare some people.

So your names safe fungus

whats that? Dizard Did?

if i told you Dungus, it wouldn't be a very effective alternate name would it?

its like a case file folder, with a bunch of newspaper clippings which have your name in, theres polaroids of what looks like dead bodies, theres an evidence bag with a piece of bloody rag in it

That's kick ass!!

I would say more, but dont want to give it away for anyone who hasnt done it yet.

Jack Ruby · Post by **Jack Ruby** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 9:32 pm

Thought I would give you an update on the killer thing, well the mailpack I mentioned freaked a lot of people out, the advertising standards agency stopped us sending more out.

It made it into last fridays paper and ona bunch of news sites, we had a double page colour spread in the Daily Mirror (uk) the headline was:
JUNK MAIL TERROR!!

heres a link to the page about it on the newspaper site:

What can I say ?

Ooops

"We have also received e-mails and calls from recipients praising the originality and imagination of the campaign."

Damn straight

Well done mate

lizardkid · Post by **lizardkid** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 10:01 am

good idea for a TV series, but mailing unwanting and unsuspecting people police-looking case files and bloody rags wasn't smart imo...

Jack Ruby · Post by **Jack Ruby** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 5:12 pm

Well the people were not totally random, they had checked some boxes on a site to say they were interested in receiving advertising material for certain kinds of tv shows, sci fi, crime, x files that kinda thing.

Also by them complaining and us getting in the paper it maximised our advertising, instead of a few thousand we actually got it out to a few million via the web and the papers.

A successful campaign
