Higher Ground Creative loves a bit street art....

The team at Higher Ground Creative love a bit of graffiti...we enjoy the wa>y that it can brighten up a harsh landscape and also inject sense of humor in often bleak or non-descript locations. We also like the controversy and debate that often surrounds graffiti to whether it is street art or vandalism (...however we do not condone the vandalism the school toilets or the local playground-that would take us back to our schools days...the less said about them the better!).

We were drawn to the attention to a new Banksy masterpiece near our studios...click here to have a look!. It’s great to see a little bit of street art in the area-as well as the privilege that Banksy has chosen to create another one of his masterpieces for us to admire!

Looking at this graffiti has made us think of the possibilities of alternative art as marketing and advertising channels, and we found some really cool examples of what can be done with this emerging art form...





It’s interesting to see brands having the confidence in new methods of brand communication. Higher Ground Creative would love to get involved with such new methods to further expand on their already extensive range of services (www.highergroundcreative.co.uk).

Until next time followers,

Higher Ground Creative is in awe of South Korea....

We thought the UK was doing alright with the broadband speeds but after checking this BBC article out we felt all inadequate. Don’t you hate it when that happens?

South Korea have charged ahead as the leaders in the world at providing their population with the fast broadband with their current rate 12 Megabits per second (Mbps), compared to the UK’s 2Mbps (pathetic...we know!) , and are aiming to invest £19billion to hike up their rate to 1,000 Mbps by 2012. Er, thats amazing, this means that you can download a 45 minute music album in 0.05 seconds or War and Peace in 0.002 seconds. This serious investment into broadband will put South Korea light-years ahead of the rest if the world when it comes to internet technology and consumer demand for high speed access to the internet.

As a creative digital design agency, Higher Ground Creative would love to be able to have access to such a fast internet connection-we can only hope that one day we will!

In the meantime, anyone fancy relocating to South Korea?
