AMH branded clothing

Client: Ashley Marc Hovelle

Brief: sub-branding | design | artwork | animation

Upcoming fashion brand AMH has commissioned Advantage London to assist in developing the AMH brand and sub-brands as well as create artwork and patterns for their AW13 and SS13 collections. The agency recently devised the sub brand ’AMH2O’ – a collection of water-resistant garments – and has reworked the supporting marketing material for the AMH Look Books. An animated sequence was also produced as part of the promotional material for both online use and iPad.

AMH is renowned for up-beat collections, driven by such inspiration as the 90s club scene in Ibiza. New collections continue in a common vein, with positive, uplifting and witty twists on music, lyrics and popular culture.

The brand has been widely published in contemporary press including VICE, Nylon Guys, Men’s Health and Shortlist. The collections are available through Top Man, ASOS and other outlets, while also on sale through the AMH online store.

V Festival official pics

Client: Nine Yards

Brief: branding / web site design / photography / social media

Advantage were asked to shoot the V Festival again this year. Armed with an AAA pass a blizzard of shots were taken both back and front of stage, shooting anyone or anything that moved.

Wading through Carling beer cups as usual, the weather at Chelmsford threatened proceedings and led to Beyoncé’s late arrival, but there were some great performances and entertainment abound. Great vibe!

You may be aware that creative director Jon Lucas, as well as fuelling the creative output at Advantage London, is a well known and respected photographer, frequently putting his skills to use for the agency when the need arises. One of his personal areas of interest is urban sport and, more specifically the study of movement and the ways in which it can be portrayed.

Having shot with many very special individuals from the world of sport and urban athletics, he has now put together (after much delay being busy for others) a brief showreel named ’Eclecstasy’ featuring, as you might imagine, quite a spread of subject matter. The sequence is a mere 1:50secs long and is available on both YouTube and Vimeo.
