Combat Kids Social Distancing Solutions for Schools

MAD Colour developed a fun interactive campaign for primary schools to educate children on the importance of maintaining social distancing and regularly washing hands to combat the spread of the Covid-19 in schools.

The idea of ‘Combat Kids’ is to engage children and reinforce these new behaviours to primary level pupils.  It personifies the messaging into a character driven story that is both relatable to the situation and memorable enough for kids to retain and act on i.e. a modern ‘Tufty Club’ approach to tackle the issue of distancing and hygiene.

MAD Colour sought to work alongside the Department of Education and the Education Authority to develop and tailor this campaign to provide schools with the resources and materials to deliver these key messages to pupils.  The campaign is designed to be flexible and adapt the messaging as the situation develops and the regulations change as we move towards a new normal.

Our Combat Kids social distancing & hygiene solutions got a lot of attention since they were featured on BBC Newsline and UTV News with the Education Minister Peter Weir.  As a result we have been working with schools and educational suppliers across the island of Ireland to ensure ‘The Power is in their Hands!’

The MAD Exhibit team were tasked with creating a show stopping stand to launch the ‘Naked’ brand at the London Plant Based Food Show in 2021. This ‘Foods of the World Market’ stand consisted of an American Diner, Airstream trailer serving British cuisine and Naked Market with foods from around the world.

All of this was created in a day at the London show and shows what’s
possible with an end to end MAD solution designed, manufactured, built and installed by our integrated team.

Text Help worked with MAD to build it better for 2022 and expand on the brand experience at the BETT Show London. Demonstration areas were expanded, full coffee bar facilities provided and Text Help commissioned a Podcast Studio on the stand itself connecting with not just visitors at the show but with customers across the world.

Screens featured heavily once again with a six panel array and four
sperate work & demo stations. Custom counters, bus stop signage and illuminated acrylic lettering really took the Text Help stand to the next level and we cant wait to build it better once again in 2023!
