Stone film-maker Nathan Williams drew inspiration from the giants of cinema when he was asked to help promote a new client – with the help of some furry friends.
Nathan, owner of NKW Promotional Film, created a series of film shorts when Business for Breakfast director Stuart Walton asked him to create a promotional film which would help the brand to stand out from the crowd at a business exhibition.
Nathan created a movie quiz starring Ted the Breakfast Bear – the well-known mascot for the Staffordshire BforB (Business for Breakfast) franchise. Ted was pictured acting out key scenes from films such as Star Wars and The Godfather. Nathan said: “Ted appeared with furry friends dressed as famous film characters. We took the videos to the Let’s Do Business exhibition in Stoke-on-Trent and it generated a lot of interest.”
Visitors to the Staffordshire BforB stand were asked to guess the movies for the chance to win a bottle of champagne. Stafford businessman Stuart Walton uses 80-year-old family heirloom Ted to promote Staffordshire BforB. Ted even has his own Twitter account (@TedtheBforBBear) with hundreds of followers.
Stuart said: “I was looking for a novel way to promote BforB and Nathan came up with Ted Goes to the Movies. It put a smile on people’s faces and helped raise awareness of the BforB brand.”
The film shorts are now available on You Tube at www.youtube.com/user/BforBStaffs
