We like to keep busy here at Splendid and recent times have been no exception, with a lot of great stuff going on involving everything from credit cards to cocktails and canapés.

First up it’s the return of the Smirnoff Black Screenings:

Smirnoff Black has paired up with Bluebird to celebrate Holywood’s most debonair modern gentlemen actors with weekly film screenings of both classic and modern films throughout the summer. Guests can purchase a ticket for £25 which includes a main course and dessert from the restaurant, a stylish cocktail from the exclusive menu (each cocktail inspired by one of our distinguished Hollywood stars) and a ticket to the film screening.

Film schedule is below:

12th August                  The Dark Knight starring Christian Bale
19th August                  The International starring Clive Owen
26th August                 Catch me if you can starring Leonardo Di Caprio
2nd September            Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig

Still with Smirnoff, it’s time for Night Vision:

The last week has seen the latest round of national Night Vision events, and they certainly offered up an original array of entertainment! Circus of Oddities hit Manchester on Friday with Whatever the Weather, the promoters behind the event, bringing together some of the UK’s best musicians, artists and oddballs for a one of a kind extravaganza. Dollop rolled into Nottingham’s Stealth for a night of electro, tech, house and dubstep with the added bonus of vintage dressing up boxes and complimentary one-of-a-kind abstract masks created live on the night by Matthew the Horse. Back in Manchester, the Museum Sessions took over the Manchester Museum for a night of live acoustic music surrounded by all manner of animal specimens from round the world, including a whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling! Finally, Twitgigs merged live music and social networking with a ‘battle of the bands’ at Brick Lane’s Vibe bar where punters and fans all over the world were able to interact via a live Twitter feed projected onto the venue’s wall. And all that despite the best attempts of the world’s hackers to bring down Twitter!

And finally, onto news of the Escape MasterCard Prepaid Card and the Neon MasterCard Prepaid Card:

We just launched the two highest value prepaid cards to the market led by classic PR and community outreach via social networking. Escape MasterCard Prepaid Card will be aimed at ethnic minorities and subprime groups; Neon MasterCard Prepaid Card will be marketed to 13-18 year olds.
Coverage so far has included the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mail and Marketing plus we’ve got anticipated coverage coming in from Woman’s Own, Essentials and Reader’s Digest amongst many others.

A highlight has been producing 4 different videos targeting very different markets that act as a ’how to guide’. These are being used online and we’re just about to start radio activity with Choice FM and Sunrise radio.
