Think Creative, Think BiG!

In 2011 as an gency that lets likes to talk the talk and walk the walk we decided to get creative and show people what we do. We concepted, created and launched a live music experience with Ace and Vis from 1Xtrad. We filmed a load amazing content from interviews with the acts to some unbelievable performances with our live band.

We also partnered up with presenter and music lover Carly Wilford to take BiG! on tour across some of the biggest music festivals & events in 2011, creating exclusive content and spreading the BIG! love

Our videos notched up over 150,000 views on youtube in less than a year, and we are looking forward to creating some more cool content in 2012!

Check out the show reel from some of the best actioned and if you looking for creative content to make your brand stand out the email us at

BiG!and rising producer Maximus Baxter who most recently finished a remix for Sneakbo’s ‘The Wave’ are partnering up in a competition for all you aspiring singers and mcs out there.

Here is how you watch the ultimate 3D movie in style…all you need is the following:

a) A converted double decker bus that is fitted with a 3D cinema on one level
b) Alesha Dixon to perform on top of the bus and then bring you popcorn and ice cream throughout the film
c) 3D glasses (they look stupid but they are necessary otherwise 3D TV just looks like TV with a hangover)
d) Lots of friends that get to watch Alesha Dixon perform live while you relax in your cinema bus….

Anyway we went about fulfilling our 3D movie dream one day at the Best Buy launch in Hayes. Check out the video of me and Matt creative director of BiG! living the dream….

“You don’t owe me nothing… I don’t owe you neither”. The words of Wiley echo around my head as I take in the scaled back simplicity of a creative delivery, peppered across 14 tracks of refreshing music, and for the first time in a while, a well rounded product.

This is Wiley’s aptly named album 100% Publishing, and the consistent sound buried across this release definitely matches the title. The delivery on tracks such as ‘To Be Continued’, ‘Wise Man and his Words’ and of course, ‘Numbers In Action’ strike the perfect balance for Wiley’s never disappointing lyrical ability and flow. From my point of view, as a massive grime head, and someone who has a strong connection to the ‘scene’, I felt somewhat fulfilled to have my Wiley lyrical thirst quenched. As well as enjoying a different style, and at times a welcome light hearted approach on a beat, such as ‘I Just Woke Up’ and “Boom Boom Da Na”.

Another point to note was the intense peppering of self promotion that wiley put in during the run up, it was by all means not too greatly timed, but very enjoyable never the less. Wiley making eggs propbly wasnt the most engaging subject
but certainly interesting, and watching him in front of his mac acting out ‘I Just Woke Up’ sold me into this injection of creativity he seems to have found.

Picking up the Metro yesterday, and seeing the raving reviews it had been given, as well as some good write ups online from the likes of the Guardian and the BBC, certainly helped me to take my hat off to The Godfather of Grime. It’s worth mentioning Big Dada, and their support in delivering great creative music, getting the talents of US Studio for the creative direction on “Numbers In Action” and putting together the beautifully simplistic artwork.
