Blue Strawberry Elephant

05/03/2026

And breathe. 2026 has been a whirlwind so far.
Last Thursday, as another client’s website was going live, Marc and Charlotte headed to the Cycling Sheffield 2026 Team Launch, an event packed with energy, ambition and serious local pride.
It isn’t ‘just’ a launch event.
Our support starts months earlier. Project planning sessions with Team Manager Dave Coulson. Then creative development: emails, invites, panel coordination and newsletters. Filming across Sheffield. Editing. Building the full presentation narrative for the day itself.

We’re there throughout, taking the pressure off Dave, who already has the full-time job of managing the team single-handedly.
And it doesn’t stop at planning. We’re first in for set-up and last out at the end. Running presentation timings. Hosting the Q&A. Directing rider photoshoots. Filming the entire event.
Because a successful launch isn’t just about what happens on stage, it’s about everything that leads up to it.

When they say big things come in small packages, they must have been talking about Blue Strawberry Elephant. Or maybe Harry, he is only a foot tall after all 🐘

Harry would love to say Happy New Year!
But he’s still under the duvet hiding till Monday 5th when we are back in the office.

We almost lost an Elephant in the Blue Bin yesterday (the paper recycling for the non-Sheffield folk).
We didn’t notice this until this morning, don't worry we gave him a pamper and he's good as new… don’t let your brand go unnoticed in 2026.

From rebrands, websites and social media to exhibition stands and signage, make next year the one where you stand out.

Merry Christmas!
Fun Fact: Did you know Medieval Europeans believed that the flatulence caused by eating Brussels sprouts indicated demonic possession. 👹
The poor sprout gets a bad rep. Personally, shred them, fry them in a big nob of butter, get some bacon in there, some roasted chestnuts, YUM.

Hope you’re having a fantastic Christmas and not buried under a mountain of sprout prep like Harry.

There's always one person in the studio who counts down to our last day on 19th, by getting in the festive mood in November. That's when the Christmas shortbread started appearing and the sugar levels start spiking.
There won't be any Mince Pies left to take home!!

CHRISTMAS CLOSING
Next week will be our last week in the studio, we will be closing for Christmas at 4:30pm Friday 19th December and back 9am Monday 5th January 2026

Always a pleasure having Dave from Cycling Sheffield drop by and we couldn’t resist grabbing a shot of the team car in that dusky winter light.

We covered all things digital marketing. Dave works tirelessly to keep the team moving, especially through the hectic summer season. Now, as racing winds down, the focus shifts to sustaining the team during a year when many others have sadly folded.

So what was on the agenda (besides cycling and a strong Yorkshire Tea ?
• Website updates
• Current partnerships
• Supporter packages
• Funding ideas to keep the team thriving
• Assets to showcase the 2025 squad
• Rider video capture
• Social content creation

We’ve proudly partnered with Cycling Sheffield for 10 of the team’s 11 years. With Dave’s passion and our continued support, we’re hoping the team can keep developing young talent for decades to come.

Harry was very amused by this.
If you’ve never heard an Elephant chuckle, show them this - it makes their trunk tremble 😂🐘😂

Meanwhile at the RAFBBW station camera club, unfortunately the images are still coming out a bit grainy.

Back in 2019, we had the incredible honour of rebranding the International Federation for Athletes with an Intellectual Impairment. After extensive research, we developed their new name: Virtus Sport , along with a fresh logo.

This logo embodies the spirit of elite athletes and the vital support Virtus provides, earning universal acclaim from all 80 national member organisations.

Now, we're absolutely thrilled to see our logo featured for the first-ever International Day for People with an Intellectual Impairment!

They've integrated elements of our original design – specifically, two of the multi-coloured "Zebra Mane" elements – with a generic figure to brand this important event. We're proud to be part of such a meaningful initiative!

Let’s celebrate the first ‘International Day for People with an Intellectual Impairment — IDPwII’ 🥳
