Aussie singer to appear in UK Lexus CT200h ads

AUSTRALIAN superstar Kylie Minogue has linked up with Japanese luxury car brand Lexus to promote the CT200h hybrid hatch ahead of its impending UK launch.

The diminutive singer will take part in a British publicity and marketing campaign dubbed Quiet Revolution, including appearances in television and print advertisements for the smallest Lexus.

As part of the deal, she will receive her own “personally specified” CT200h.

Lexus will also be lead sponsor of Kylie’s 2011 Aphrodite – Les Folies UK tour, which it claims is “destined to be one of the most visually spectacular and technically complex shows ever staged in the UK”.

In a statement, Ms Minogue said: “I am absolutely delighted to be working with Lexus on the launch of their new full hybrid CT 200h. I’ve been lucky enough to have a preview of the car which is both stylish and elegant and will definitely create a Quiet Revolution.”

Interactive Cab at the Orange RockCorps Concert!

An interactive black cab graced the Orange Rockcorps concert at the Manchester Apollo!!! The concert was Orange RockCorps way of thanking all of their volunteers that had volunteered along the way, so guest performances were made by Lady Gaga, N-Dubz, VV Brown and The Enemy.

As Volunteers queued up for the concert they were able to pop into the interactive cab and record a short message outlining what project they volunteered at as well as how they were feeling!

Most volunteers couldn't wait to get into the cab as it had visited all of the projects on the tour and had built up a rapport with the volunteers.........so look out for the notorious cab during Orange RockCorps London which is due to commence next month.

Becks - Beer + Music = popular combination

Ladyhawke and Hard-Fi redesigned labels for bottles of Becks.
The musicians worked with their favourite artists to design labels that appeared on 16million bottles.

Sarah Larnach, whose retro watercolours are a key part of Ladyhawke's visual identity, produced a label that is in keeping with her previous work for the singer/songwriter (as shown above). Meanwhile, the bold, blocky type that characterizes David Smith's album art for Hard-Fi will once again be in evidence on Hard-Fi's bottles.

Ken Valledy, brand director for Beck’s at InBev UK, said: "The new limited edition bottle labels will also have significant benefits for retailers because the highly visual designs will appeal to consumers and attract interest in the brand, thereby driving repeat purchase.”

Monkeys spotted in Oxfam

Sheffield toe tappers and head boppers The Arctic Monkeys released their single 'Crying Lightning' on 7" vinyl through Oxfam's chain of charity shops across the UK. As you would expect all proceeds went towards funding the charity's numerous projects around the world.

The vinyl sold for £2.99 and included a code to download the MP3 version of the release which includes a cover of Nick Cave's 'Red Right Hand'.

As well as giving the profits to the charity, the band and record label Domino encouraged fans to bring in old records, clothing and other unwanted goods when they pick up their copies of the single to further raise funds.

Orange Monkey - Rock & Roll Stars

We at Made tried out life on the road as rock and roll stars for five weeks as we toured the UK promoting the new Orange Monkey pay as you go plan and their world's first Hologram gigs. It was the first multi-artist hologram tour and featured the virtual skills of hot new stars Pixie Lott, N-Dubz and Tinchy Stryder.

The fun kicked off on Saturday 19th September at Lakeside shopping centre - gigs ran every 15 minutes and with no ticket required, anyone could come along and enjoy some Top of the Pops style musical entertainment.

Weaving their way amongst the crowd were clued-up Orange folk who could tell you more about the Orange Monkey plan, give you a demo of how it works and most importantly, show you how to sign up if you fancy some of that mobile musical goodness for yourself.

The Orange Monkey Hologram gig tour headed to the Bullring in Birmingham, Meadowhall in Sheffield, Cabots Circus in Bristol and finally, the Arndale Centre in Manchester.
