Reynaers Aluminium, one of Europe’s leading providers of innovative aluminium architectural glazing systems for windows and doors, has successfully entered the UK domestic market with the launch of its premier Reynaers at Home brand and the appointment of leading integrated agency Mobas.

The Mobas team successfully met with Reynaers at Home’s criteria to lead a strategic PR campaign that engages core elements of new business sectors and upholds its highly-regarded heritage brand values. Mobas has also developed integrated ideas to produce exclusive client-side materials and develop creative concepts that target the Reynaers at Home market for grand designs projects.

Says Hugh Moss, Head of Reynaers at Home: “Having extensively researched the residential marketplace, we believe that this is the perfect time to launch Reynaers at Home across the UK and that Mobas is the perfect agency to deliver the message: Reynaers at Home promises to revolutionise the premium homes market.”

Set to lead the way with inspirational concepts that can transform properties and create dream homes, Reynaers at Home delivers a new bespoke concept for premium property owners with designs from traditional and classic to contemporary and state-of-the-art glass wall panoramas at the very top end of the market.

Says Jeannine Wheeler, Director of PR at Mobas: “This is a very exciting project for us, one that combines our creativity with our experience of the premium property market and knowledge of leading a launch campaign.

“The arrival of Reynaers at Home heralds a new era of design vision for architects and high-profile homeowners across the UK. We are proud to work with Reynaers at Home and present an industry-leading product range that delivers designer concepts with seamless style and technical performance.”

Hugh concludes: “We have service excellence at our heart, so we are always extremely selective in our partnerships and Mobas understands the Reynaers at Home ethos and world-class customer service, which is unrivalled by anything currently available in the UK.”

Mobas launches Asia website for Taylor Vinters

Integrated agency Mobas expands client offering with a second website for Taylor Vinters – this one for its Singapore market

Following the success of this year’s rebrand reflecting Taylor Vinters’ growing reputation as a leading international law firm – Mobas has further developed its client web presence with a targeted site to meet burgeoning business in Asia.

Reflecting the branding and modern styling, which was created by Mobas, the new site enables a specialist team of lawyers to further establish stronger relationships in Asia, while informing visitors of current news, events and international services.

Headquartered in Cambridge UK – Europe’s innovation capital – with offices in the key business hubs of central London and Singapore, Taylor Vinters’ CEO Matt Meyer says: “Our new corporate identity is not merely visual. It also works effectively to communicate our strengths in technology, investment and private clients – and is flexible enough that we can quickly build a bespoke website for a specific key market, in this case Asia. The new Asia-specific website signifies a growing area of business driven by our plans for strategic value and business partnering.”

Mobas creates app film for Elanco to help pet owners stay on schedule

Elanco Companion Animal Health launches handy new pet app to remind owners when their pets need medication or treatments

They say never work with children or animals – and now Mobas has done the latter –and to great effect.

The integrated agency has created an engaging two-minute film that shows how to use Elanco Companion Animal Health’s new pet-care app, which makes it easier than ever for owners to remember to medicate and treat their pets on time.

The star of the film was a sweet-tempered Jack Russell named Lily – modelled after the Elanco mascot – who was only too happy to play up to the cameras. In addition to charming the 15-strong production team, Lily flirted with stardom by fetching various items, including a ball, a lead, a bowl and eventually – an iPhone, symbolising the Elanco pet app, which reminds owners by sending push alerts to medicate their pets on time.

The pet app is FREE to owners and is downloadable across Western Europe in six different languages, including English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Dutch (all available via the Apple Store). The film itself has also been created in six languages and can be viewed throughout the EU on local-language Elanco MyVetProgram websites.

“Elanco has worked tirelessly to get this handy pet app to market and Mobas was thrilled to be part of the team,” says Jeannine Wheeler, director of Public Relations, “Elanco’s pet app is not only a convenient reminder for pet owners, but also contains valuable information about pet care. And it was great fun making the film; consequently – we no longer believe the old adage about working with animals. In fact, our follow-on film for Elanco was filming with cats!”

Called MyVetProgram, the new pet app is part of an Elanco Companion Animal Health effort to make pet care information more accessible for animal owners; providing an easy-to-use organisational lifestyle tool for pet owners in Western Europe for a healthier animal with an improved quality of life.

“With busy lifestyles and lots to do, it is easy to overlook the one thing that can be integral to the good health and longevity of your pets: giving them their medication on time,” says Helen Barnes, Senior Brand Consultant, W. Europe, for Elanco Companion Animal Health. “But now, it’s easier than ever to ensure that you don’t miss a medication or routine treatment with Elanco’s handy new pet reminder called MyVetProgram, which is available to download free.”

This handy new tool allows users to personalise pet information with pets’ names and favourite pet photos; even uploading barks or meows as reminder alerts.

To make it even more convenient – the new Elanco pet app allows owners to store vet practice details so getting in touch is quicker and more convenient than ever – especially in an emergency.

The new Elanco MyVetProgram app also includes access to a broad range of pet treatment information, including controlling fleas, treating worms, travelling with pets abroad, getting vaccinations, weight control and caring for older pets.

With its treatment alerts, vet contact details and pet health information, the new and FREE Elanco MyVetProgram app is designed to be an invaluable pet-owner resource.

The Elanco MyVetProgram is currently available for a range of handheld smart phones and tablets, and can be downloaded FREE from the Apple Store online or in the UK by visiting www.myvetprogram.co.uk.

Mobas moves up the national rankings and is still flying high in the East of England for UK’s Top 100 Design Agencies

Cambridge-based Mobas has once again achieved regional and national recognition as a Top 100 UK Design Agency.

Marketing and media publication The Drum reaffirmed Mobas as one of the fastest growing integrated agencies in the East of England, as it continues to thrive on creativity and deliver successful campaigns.

The Design 100, which reviews design talent across Britain, is judged on criteria that includes recommendations from current clients, company turnover and profit per head.

Says Rob Bryant, Managing Director at Mobas: “Each year we climb higher on the national register, which is testament to the design talent and creative commitment at Mobas. It’s great to be acknowledged as a high-calibre agency in this way, especially as we are currently celebrating our 10-year anniversary. It is a landmark time for Mobas and we have invested in the best people for the next phase of development and another successful year of expansion.”

A spokesperson for The Drum states: “A trend towards integration and convergence was evident this year, as statistics showed 71% listed advertising as one of their disciplines, however, as consumer behaviour continues to revolve more and more around online activity, the majority of the top 100 counted digital as a discipline and listed by 83% of agencies, while 91% of those in the financial table listed branding as a business discipline.”

Rob Bryant concludes: “The Drum’s high ranking of Mobas reaffirms our commitment to be one of the best agencies in the UK – and one with a strong commitment to today’s digital influence in design, and indeed across all of our disciplines.”
