PRIZE GIVEAWAY!

Creative juicing has historically been an elite pursuit accessible only to those lucky enough to be born into one of the South West's big five juicing families. But thanks to our new competition you can get your first foot on the ladder in your very own home - by winning our "Home Juicing Kit". Simply enter your e-mail address below to be put in the prize draw to win this or other fantastic prizes!

GOOD NEWS:

Happiness in the South West has been proven to be the most prevalent in the UK! As we all know - happiness is an important factor in growing good creatives, so we should be able to look forward to another bumper crop!

CHRISTMAS STOCK REMINDER!

After Chairman Jim got back from meeting with some of the larger advertising and digital agencies we supply, he was keen to remind all farmers to keep some stock in store for the Christmas Rush. What with the downturn in the economy many agencies will be having to work extra hard to come up with good marketing ideas, and might need more Creative Juices than normal. Lets not let them down!

BOBS LABORATORY!

Although we're famous for our traditional quality, the board are very keen to make sure our juices are being used in new and interesting ways. That's why we all voted to allow Bob a small stipend to set up a research laboratory this year. Already he has made some connection with the so called Pervasive Media Studio by the docks in Bristol, where some of our best juices are being used in areas like mobile telephone advertising and something my son is very excited by called Reality Gaming . Some of us older members will remember when gaming in reality was the only kind possible - before all these computer consoles! How times change!

JUICE UP!

I always say Creatives grow better down here, but after winning the International Rotterdam Juicing Cup for the fifth year running it seems the eclectic team of judges seem to agree! In attendance this year were Bill from Nempnet creative farm, Jim from Wedmore and Beth from Bagley. Members of the other two big juicing families were off in the United States talking about new pruning techniques, but we all stick together at these events (despite the healthy rivalry between the families within the region!) so that we can represent the South West area on the international scene.

HEALTHY SPREAD:

When that funny marketing consultant came to speak to the board last summer he was very keen that we make sure we had a good diversity of markets. While most of what he said seemed utter tripe, we did all agree on this point, and over the last six months we've been pleased to see our Creative Juices sold to companies in Design, Film, Animation, Computer Games, Architecture, Textiles and Advertising. Also Meryl Till has been using them to make some NICE LIGHTS

NEW AGENCIES LUNCH:

New board member Kim has been out chatting to some of the younger people who've been buying our juices. While I personally don't really understand all of these new uses to do with the "internet" and "GPS" (although I have just bought one of those new Tom Tom's for my Landrover which I think uses it!) she has been getting some very good responses and apparently some of our juices have helped these new customers win some very prestigious awards!

GOING MOBILE:

One of our latest batch of juices was used on a campaign for Virgin Mobile. They're involved in mobile telephones, proving that our juices are being used right up with the cutting edge of technology.

JUICE UP IN LIGHTS!

The folks up in Bristol once again celebrated in the very cosmopolitan way only those city types can do when they used our juices to devise a "Light Festival"! Jon from Upshot farm went along to see what all the fuss was about and was treated to a spectacular display, as all kinds of animations and designs were projected onto the Council Houses .

COME AND JOIN US!

Many of the customers for our juices have reported very good growth fueled by our output, and lots of them are hiring for new staff. If you want to get involved in the Creative Industries down here - you could do worse than take a look as there seems to be a good amount of work about! Its always good to see our customers doing well - and to see our juices getting put to good use!
