    Rave has appointed Meg Woods from Haslimann Taylor to join its consumer PR team in the role of Senior Account Manager.

    Meg, who worked on heavyweight clients including Mitchells and Butlers and Essential Health Products at HTPR, brings more than five years PR experience to the Rave PR and Social Media team and its growing consumer portfolio.

    Formerly chair of PRCA FrontLine Midlands and a finalist in CIPR Pride 2011’s Outstanding Young Communicator category, Meg will be leading the Graco and Electrolux PR accounts at Rave, including the launch of a “multi-million pound exclusive dining experience in London”.

    Rave’s PR Director Chris Date said: “Meg has joined Rave in a particularly exciting year and her exceptional and highly-regarded experience in the food, drink and leisure industry will see her lead some truly exciting campaigns this year. 2012 is set to be the most successful year yet for the Rave PR & Social Media team”

    Rave, recently a finalist for Outstanding Small Consultancy and award winners for Best Use of Social Media  at the CIPR PRide Awards 2011, as well as winners of the Best Viral at the Cream Awards 2011, has recently created PR and integrated campaigns for clients including AEG, Graco, Showcase Cinemas, Zanussi, IRWIN Tools and Reckitt Benckiser.

    Loving the latest "Treat Yourself Better" campaign for Weight Watchers France, courtesy of Fred & Farid Paris. It’s a thing of beauty….but having been shot and directed by Rankin, what did you expect?!

    Nice idea from Scandinavian Airlines (via CP+B, Stockholm ) to encourage their members to make use of - rather than stack up - air miles. Embraces digital, QR etc, but still makes good use of more traditional media…and particularly effective around Valentine’s Day. Not so great if you’re single though – and there’s nothing like rubbing salt in the wound! J

    After the success of the 2011 Grassroots Rugby campaign that Rave ran with premium home appliance brand AEG, we’re pleased to announce that 2012 will see the initiative expanded into grassroots cricket.

    Teams from all over the UK are being given the chance to win an Ultimate Kit and Laundry Package, as well as a chance to attend a training day with the England cricket team or have England legends visit their club, as part the campaign backed by former England Cricket Captain Michael Vaughan.

    The project will see 40 grassroots cricket teams selected to receive the kit and laundry packages. Each of the prize packages includes 12 bespoke Canterbury Sportswear cricket kits, as well as a top-of-the-range AEG washing machine in time for the start of the 2012 cricket season. Watch the launch video with Michael Vaughan and Paul Nixon for more information, or visit www.aeg.co.uk/grassroots

    Wieden & Kennedy New York highlight just how far some sports fan(atic)s will go to show their support for their team – and the unbreakable social contract that exists between fans as a result of a simple handshake.

    For no reason other than the amount of man-hours that must have gone into this. Superb work….how many films can you name?!
