MRS CAREY’S CONCERT

Wide Open was involved in developing all of the promotional materials for this highly acclaimed Australian documentary. We attended photoshoots to generate key art images, created posters and flyers and press adverts. We also designed and built the pre-launch and subsequent ecommerce websites.

The highly anticipated film created so much interest that when it was reviewed on the ABC Movie Show the subsequent spike in traffic to the website took the site down temporarily.

  • Launch website utilising video
  • Embedded video marketing
  • Photo shoot art direction
  • Key art for poster and flyer
  • Key art for print advertising
  • Linked Ecommerce website

Mrs Carey’s Concert was the opening film at the Adelaide Film Festival and went on to win numerous awards including AACTA Award for Best Feature Length Documentary, AACTA Award for Best Direction in a Documentary.

 

CITY OF RYDE PUBLIC ART GUIDES

The requirement for public art to be integrated into any major new developments is something that can be elusive for developers and those evaluating the proposals.

Wide Open was commissioned to source examples of public art in the greater Sydney area as well as within the City of Ryde.

Once we had these and approvals to use them in documentation we compiled a set of visual guidelines that could be utilised by the City of Ryde planners and certifiers as well as developers.

 

MATERIALS COMMISSIONED

  • Research public art projects
  • Collect imagery and rights clearance
  • Adapt planning requirements to visual examples
  • Design guidelines book
  • Print and deliver book

 

 

 

ROYAL CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

The Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation was established 25 years ago to fundraise, manage and distribute funds. Through philanthropy, they are changing the future of children’s healthcare.

Wide Open won the tender to rebuild the website with an easy to use CMS that would allow staff to maintain the site and update on a daily basis.
As the major marketing tool for the Foundation it had to be robust and work on mobile devices.
