In July of 2011, North Sea oil and gas company Ithaca Energy commissioned BLINK to produce a film to highlight its recent operational and financial success.
EA Games digital agency Collective London conceived the idea of projecting the new Crysis 2 game onto buildings in London and Paris at night.
People stopped to play the game on wireless consoles and word spread fast to facebook, Flickr and other sites.
BLINK produced a short film called 'Hero' documenting the guerilla stunt, which has since been seeded onto social networking sites in support of the game's much anticipated launch.
Within 24hrs of going live on YouTube, 'Hero' had been viewed 25,000+ times.
On 7th May 'Crysis 2 - Alien Invasions' was awarded Site of the Day on FWA.
Investec Private Bank first engaged BLINK in October 2008 to produce a series of videos to help promote a number of their business units and financial products.
Intended for a variety of external audiences, multiple sets of videos have since been produced and sit on Investec's newly refurbished website.
We have also produced videos for internal campaigns including clips addressing IT Security improvements and issues for Investec staff.
For the third year running BLINK is working closely with PR & events specialist Incredibull and the RSA Internal Comms team to bring together 400+ RSA execs from around the UK for a live Q&A session with their CEO.
The one day event involves three satellite trucks, seven camera units and twenty crew.
We challenged the original brief to produce a fly-on-the-wall documentary piece for this international property investment company, proposing instead a more aspirational execution that more accurately reflected the ambitions of the company and its target audience.
For the second year in a row BLINK has been tasked by live events company Kinetica with producing all of the videos for Openwork's annual conference in Birmingham. This includes a high-energy opener projected onto a huge screen on stage as well as twenty other videos supporting senior exec presentations throughout the day.
"BLINK continually strive for innovative solutions, always delivering with the utmost professionalism and expertise...they are a delight to work with and I am very grateful for all their brilliant work."

The FTSE 250 global staffing company wanted to find an innovative way of re-vitalising the company's core values.
Knowing how passionately SThree's executive board feel about what underpins the company, we took them into a white infinity studio for a day and let them do the talking.
The film combines talking heads and animated graphics, punctuated with light-hearted behind the scenes shots of the participants.
BLINK also produces a quarterly Video Update fronted by CEO Russell Clements which is distributed to all 1,800 staff worldwide.
While not for public consumption this film and other work for SThree can be viewed on request.
