Elastoplast ‘Examplaplast’ campaign

To celebrate singer Example’s latest single (where he mentions Elastoplast in the lyrics) we’ve been working with Elastoplast to promote limited edition packs featuring the artist. Nzime have produced an ‘example’ page on the Elastoplast website and set up a competition to win one of the very limited edition packs.

Recent social activity on Twitter has seen the hash tag ‘examplaplast’ trending worldwide and ultimately driving traffic to the competition pages. So any fans of Example should take a peek at the Elastoplast site and enter the comp now to be in with a chance to grab one of the cool new packs!

Facebook Timeline – Facebook Profile update

Facebook have recently been making a lot of controversial changes adding more privacy settings, changing the UI and overall “improvements”. Initially I wasn’t impressed with the improvements but I have come round and agree with most of them, but disagree with the manner they were introduced.

From a PR perspective releasing a large update was the right thing to do but from a users point of view Facebook should have phased in the new functionality.

One thing Facebook are holding back from the masses is the new profile replacement “Facebook Timeline”. Facebook Developers have been given early access to this wonderful new profile page which is a massive improvement on the previous “profile page”.

The timeline is cleaner, more structured and offers functionality previously not available within Facebook. The most notable changes are the timeline down the right side of the page allowing you to track back throughout the years, the large cover image and the layout of your recent activity.

The timeline has great potential, it will be interesting to see how Facebook uses it.

Lou’s other half dropped by earlier to say hello in style! Not everyday you get your very own air display over central Nottingham.

Nike Air Mag’s. Brilliant concept for a brilliant cause.

Nike have made the ‘Air Mag’ after 22 years! Although lacking the auto-lacing system they’re still damn cool and feature on-board lights!

Nzime @ the Nottingham Panthers Game

Living by the rule of work hard, play hard, some of us took some time out last night to watch the GMB Nottingham Panthers play Coventry Blaze in the Challenge Cup. The Panthers played an amazing game with a 10 – 1 victory that didn’t disappoint the fans.

 

Panthers mascot Paws took some time out his busy schedule for a quick photo.

 

End of the final period with a glorious Panthers 10 – Blaze 1 on the score board.

Lee Kum Kee by Chef Andrew…

After a recent meeting with Lee Kum Kee where they very kindly gave me bottles of their finest Premium Brand Oyster flavored sauce and a bottle of Double Deluxe Soy sauce I decided to ‘get to know the products’! As the originator of Oyster Sauce (123 years old this year) Lee Kum Kee are one of the worlds largest producers of Chinese sauces and condiments. There products are second to none; my cooking however may not have done it the justice it deserved. Not a bad effort though as I even surprised myself at how good it tasted.

Here’s the recipe I followed…. stir fried beef fillet and leek
I did add Udon noodles which I must admit isn’t typical Chinese but….
