Can you help us with this?

Our creative team of world class experts created an eight minute segment that brought to life the brand of Glasgow 2014 and the city's unique personality. 352 volunteers from across Scotland were selected to perform a mass-choreographed show that simultaneously celebrated participation, collaboration and cooperation, ultimately placing the proud people of Glasgow at the heart of the performance. We identified established symbols that led the audience on a journey through traditional Scotland to modern Glasgow; bagpipers, tartan kilts, the Saltire, the Clyde Auditorium and the Loch Ness Monster. We overcame all the challenges that were thrown at the project, working across geographies and cultures and with a limited budget, to produce a strong and stylish performance that was meaningful to the home audience, entertaining to the live audience, and memorable for the global broadcast audience of 1 billion people. The First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond captured the success of the show, "Scotland is already excited about hosting the Games in 2014 and the handover ceremony showed the world how spectacular this event will be by showcasing our country's spirit and our greatest asset, our people." 2010-10-29T10:11:13+00:00 http://unspunlondon.co.uk/news/view/opportunity_social_media_intern/ http://unspunlondon.co.uk/news/view/opportunity_social_media_intern/#When:23:35:16Z BackgroundUnspun is a strategic communications agency that works with leaders to design relevant campaigns, programmes and events that create enduring change; in attitudes, in behaviours and overall business performance.

The shots of Nelson were used to help publicise the departure of the England 2018 bid book as it made its way over to Zurich.  The book finished its travels safely delivered by the world’s most glamorous postman - David Beckham.  Next up are the inspection visits in August.   Join Lord Nelson and back the bid at www.england2018bid.com 2010-06-15T13:33:35+00:00 http://unspunlondon.co.uk/news/view/england_2018_fly_the_flag_tour1/ http://unspunlondon.co.uk/news/view/england_2018_fly_the_flag_tour1/#When:08:58:40Z England 2018's Fly the Flag tour rounded off the football season at Arsenal's match against Manchester City last Saturday.
