Summer has arrived, so don’t let the temperatures be the only hot topic people are discussing this year. Here you will find some creative branded clothing, merchandise and print options that will keep your promotion or campaign hot, hot, hot this summer!

We thought we would bring some wild and fun facts...

DID YOU KNOW? #SummerEdition

- The first day of summer arrived in the UK with the solstice on 21 June, 2022.

- The hottest day ever recorded in the UK was 25 July, 2019 in Cambridge where it reached a sizzling 38.7°C.

- The south and north are opposites. When it is summer in the south, this means that it is winter in the north.

- The invention of the popular ice lolly in 1905 was actually accidental. An 11-year-old boy in the USA had left his fizzy drink sitting outside and by the next morning it had frozen. He began selling them at an amusement park in New Jersey.

- Oui! The rumours are true, the Eiffel Tower is taller in the warmer summer months, the iron in the Eiffel Tower expands, making the tower grow more than 6 inches.

WILD THANGS BEACH FEST BRANDING

The Beach Fest campaign for Summer 2022 was inspired by the return of summer festivals situated on the beach. We researched this year's official summer colours from Pantone and London Fashion Week which inspired us to use the bright ranged colour scheme throughout the branding and product choices.

PANTONE FASHION COLOUR TREND FOR SPRING / SUMMER 2022

When it comes to branding and making sure you are keeping your finger on the creative pulse, we always thinks it’s important to look that bit deeper to get the best possible outcomes for your organisations, campaigns and promotions.

Summer Pantone Autumn Pantone 

Our talented artwork team created some fantastic branding options that were fit for the theme of summer and adaptable to our Beach Fest theme. Please remember if you have a design requirement our talented graphics team are here to help as part of the one solution Wild Thang provide.

A big thank you to our friends Tarways Asphalte who have completed a great job resurfacing our car park and goods in areas, these have now been marked up with our disabled and electric charging bays.

Benson Signs have also been back on site to fit high level signage to our Derby Road elevation, showing the world what we’re all about! It’s been a very tough journey with development and COVID disruption, but we’re edging closer to final development completion.

Who said manufacturing premises had to be boring or run of the mill, we are really proud to have had the aspiration to create something world class with the help of Liverpool based K2 Architects & Frank Rogers Building Contractor Limited.

Its hopefully not long now as we literally can’t wait to be able to invite you guys & gals to our grand unveiling when it’s safe to do so!

If you would like to find out more about how Wild Thang can help you create a world class physical image, simply get in touch.

It was a happy Valentine’s Day for Wild Thang.

As the completion of its major development plan and a new era with the handover of its upgraded headquarters, that dream started to become a reality on Valentine’s Day when Frank Rogers Building Contractors officially handed over the new build offices of the development.

Andrew Dwerryhouse said: “This represents a major step forward for the business and it is amazing to see this investment start to come to fruition. When you embark on a development on this scale, you take a deep breath. It’s a huge commitment in time, planning and of course monetary terms - but when you see it start to become reality, you know it is the correct decision.

We wanted to make sure we brought the right people in on this project. Myself, the Directors and our senior team care a great deal about this business so it had to be right for everyone, it’s fantastic to be able to report that all staff are already benefitting from the amazing new spaces. Central to the whole development was always to create a wonderful high quality working environment for our amazing colleagues and the really big news is that I actually had my first lunch break away from my desk in 24 years, which is quite a revelation!

Both Frank Rogers and the architects at K2 have not let us down.

They have delivered a genuinely high quality job so far, especially with the added complexity of it being undertaken while we continue to manufacture. Our eye can’t be taken off the ball just yet because we still need to complete the demolition of our old building to create the new cladding and windows around the rest of the outside and also create a completely new production configuration which is a big task in itself. The full completion of the entire development is looking like it will be towards the end of April 2020.

 

It has been an intense and challenging few months for the whole team working alongside the development while it progresses and something like this only happens through that real team ethos in every area of the business. Overseeing this project and continuing to make sure the day-to-day work of Wild Thang isn’t compromised has been a huge logistical challenge. Our team has worked brilliantly to ensure it has been business as usual.

 

Although Friday 14^th February was the official handover for the project there are still some jobs that need to be completed. Another firm, Box Clever, has also been integral to the process, taking Wild Thang through the tender process and acting as the development project manager.

As a company we have enjoyed growth of around 18-20% for the past three years and are aiming for further 20-25% growth following completion of the project. The transformation of the headquarters will allow the business to significantly increase manufacturing capacity and will require a rise in headcount to meet our aspiration to be one of the leading branded clothing, merchandise and print companies inthe UK.

We are now the biggest company in this sector in the Liverpool city region and we see huge opportunities for growth in the coming months and years. This project has been three years in the planning and seeing it finally come to fruition is incredibly exciting for us all. In fact I can safely say there may have never been a more exciting time, because this is one of the biggest moments in Wild Thang’s history.”

Well this just simply had to be this week’s Wild Thang Merchandise. It was a record breaking year for BBC Children In Need this year raising over £50 million which is simply incredible. Congratulations to all those who participated and all those people that gave up their time & got involved for such a worthy cause.

I can’t think of a better example of a charity campaign that has taken merchandise to their heart and placed it centrally to all their fundraising campaigns. It’s great to see branded t-shirts & various other merchandise in virtually every social media interaction but also being retailed across the UK.

We should never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any campaign or event & deliver real impact, think PR exposure,  driving endless social media sharing on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat. Hopefully you can really start to see the benefits of branded merchandise and print really making a big big difference .

Wild Thang think this is a great example of how branded clothing can create great worldwide exposure helping the brand, person, organisation really stand out from the crowd with that all important coordinated physical branding approach.

We are proud to have produced Tony Bellew’s brand & merchandise over the years.

Well what a weekend it was in Brighton for the Paddy Power Champions League of Darts tournament! Plenty of action over the 4 sessions and some great darts.

We were delighted & proud to have supplied the amazing merchandise which gave the event a real X Factor on the BBC, from the bespoke pantone matched wigs along with plenty of iconic Lucky Pants and of course the Winners/Runners Up trophies!

We really think this is a perfect example of world class merchandise in action & will hopefully give you a little inspiration for your next marketing campaign so it can really maximise the branding opportunity while targeting a specific event & audience.

Never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any campaign & deliver real impact, think PR exposure, think the endless social media sharing or competitions on Instagram, twitter, Facebook & Snapchat. Gary Anderson stormed the final over Peter Wright to take the £100k prize, but more importantly (maybe not more importantly!!) he also took home the laser engraved aluminium winner’s trophy Wild Thang produced.
