Nzime

Nzime has just shot the latest base layer collection by Dry Inside, great looking base layers that actually work. Next steps are to put together the brochure along with updating their current Dry Inside web site.

Everyone in the studio has been clocking up the hours on the latest addition to the Nzime portfolio. Safe Shade offer Weatherproof Shade Solutions protecting from UV Rays and rain. Check out some of the awesome work in their gallery.

As you can see we are all strictly keeping within the new year detox rules. Egg, sausage, bacon all part of your 5 a day.

We would like to welcome the latest addition to the studio… Coco. He loves anything he can chew, long walks on the beach and never turns down an edible treat.

Fancy cakes to celebrate me saying goodbye to my twenties, it’s a sad day!

Knox are supporting their new Warrior body armour by running ads within key motorcycle titles such as Moto magazine. Nzime created a campaign which was led by high profile motocross racer Jamie Law to add credibility and explain the intensive development and testing processes that all of the Knox product undertake.

Server booted up, Email backlog cleared, heating on max. Yes we are back in full swing after the festive season, carrying a few more lb and the occasional sniffle.

After much gorging on mince pies, turkey and alcoholic beverages all of us in the studio are starting the ritual detox. That will last until the Friday greasy breakfast run.

The past few days we have battled through harsh weather conditions (a breath taking 0.5in of snow) that has brought much of Nottingham to a stand still.

Happy New Year
Everyone @ Nzime

It’s that time of year again and the artists are battling it out for the inevitable x-factor win of the number 1 spot for Christmas. This year however social media is throwing its weight in to rebel against the machine that is Syco and X-Factor.

With months of free publicity for the single and using the reality TV platform to get millions of viewers emotionally attached to the artists X-Factor has dominated the number 1 position in the charts for all but 1 series of the program.

This year however this may change. A Facebook group has been started and has so far got over 710,000 members pledging to buy Rage Against the Machine – Killing in the name. The group has generated a lot of attention from the media and the frequency of Rage Against the Machine being played on national/local radio has greatly increased. More importantly bookies odds have been slashed with Killing in the Name now around 4 to 1 odds however X Factor is still the favorite to win.

Whether Rage Against the Machine gets to Christmas number 1, this is a great demonstration of the power of social media within the digital age. Using a networking platform such as Facebook to return a 1992 track to the charts is something record labels would struggle to achieve with the greatest of advertising budgets.

Do I think we will be hearing Killing in the Name on the number 1 slot this year? I doubt it, due to the months of promotion X factor has received and the millions it has made with involving the public in the voting process. But it will be a success story of the strength of Social Media platforms and how people can pull together to make a change whether in a commercial aspect or a political movement.
