SoBe NO WAY DOWN Caption Campaign Sept 2014CASE STUDY: Sobe “Caption this” Painted Surfboard Social Media Campaign

CLIENT:  ThinkMotive Agency

WHEN:  September 2014

MISSION/SCOPE OF WORK:  Create an eye-popping piece of art, on a surfboard, to be given away as a prize for SoBe’s surfboard social media “Caption This” campaign on Facebook.

The surfboard was painted by Drew, live, during a meet and greet event at BC Surf Shop.

The artwork is a collaboration between Drew Brophy and professional surfer Sebastian “Seabass” Zeitz, painted during the Hurley Pro Surf Event.

Many fans showed up at the meet and greet and watched as Drew painted the surfboard and Seabass signed posters.  All enjoyed cold, delicious samples of SoBe in many flavors.

When the surfboard was painted, photos went on social media and SoBe fans were invited to submit their caption for the photo (shown above).  The best caption was chosen.

RESULTS:  Many fans engaged in the contest; a happy winner was shipped the painted surfboard.  SoBe did a cool thing.  Mission Accomplished!

 “I had the privilege of collaborating with Drew Brophy for a meet and greet event my brand was hosting in San Clemente.  Maria and Drew both were flexible with scheduling, professional, and extremely easy to partner with. For someone not connected to the surfing scene, Maria took the time to explain to me the details and brought her own creativity to the mix. Drew has the ability to easily generate a vision in his head and transfer that to his work….truly amazing.”  Brad Burns Sr. Account Manager, Think Motive

Collage of Drew Brophy SC Art Fredrix Canvas Event Photos by Jonie PhotoI’m always traveling and doing art projects in other parts of the world.  I wanted to do something cool with my local community in San Clemente, with the idea of inspiring kids (young and old) to get creative, paint, and have fun with it.

I teamed up with Fredrix Canvas, SC Art Supply and Uni Posca for a “Paint with Drew” day, last Friday.

Fredrix Canvas makes the best quality and variety of canvas out there. They have all types for artists to be creative.  Their large canvas panels are perfect for my move-able mural paintings.   I paint on them with paint pens and spray paint; they always come out great.

Last September I painted 20 paintings in 20 days; they were all painted on Fredrix Canvas.

This year, I wanted to see what people can do with Fredrix’s new, awesome “black canvas”.  The black canvas works great with the bright colors I like to paint with.

Fredrix donated a generous supply of black canvas for the event, SC Art Supply hosted the event, and Uni Posca donated paint pens.

We invited the public to come out and paint, and they showed up in droves.

Some kids came and wouldn’t leave; they were having too much fun painting.  It was so cool for me to see their enthusiasm for art.

One teenager showed up with a painting he did on canvas, inspired by my style.

Local professional artist Lauren Tannehill showed up with her family, we saw San Clemente business owners and surfers and skaters and everything in between.

It was an awesome day!

Here’s a short photo slide show from the event (All photos shot by Jonie Photo):

Want to stop people in their tracks?

Stand out in a Crowd?  

Create a memorable experience?

Drew Brophy has been creating magic by painting live at events since the mid 1990’s.

He has a reputation for entertaining with his fast painting skills and for holding the short attention span of passers-by.

Drew is a pro at inspiring through his warm personality and his ability to start and finish a painting in just hours.  The crowds love him!

Below are a few ways we can help your company or private event be even more amazing.

“It’s important to our clients that their guests have a memorable evening.  That’s why we hire Drew Brophy; he knows how to work a crowd.  When he paints at one of our events, we know that the guests will have a great time!”  Cami R., Account Exec., 360 Destination Concepts

TRADE SHOW BOOTHS & LIVE EVENTS 

Want to attract people to your booth?   Drew will draw them in by creating a fascinating, live painting with paint pens.  No-one will walk past your booth without stopping to look!

To sweeten the pot, he will give away posters at your event, which he will happily sign for your visitors.

He’ll paint a surfboard, guitar, canvas, even shoes; just about anything that fits in with your mission.

He will even work your logo and theme into the painting; that sort of design work comes easily to Drew.

Here’s just a few companies that Drew has painted live for:

The NFL, Walter Foster Publishing, Hard Rock Casino Las Vegas, Ugg Australia, Aerial 7 at NAMM Expo, Converse, Hinano Tahiti, …Lost, Surf-the-Earth, MiOcean and many, many more.

PRIVATE / CORPORATE PARTIES 

Private parties, charity events, sales meetings:  Drew has painted live at every type of event and venue.

He’s worked with some of the top Event Production Companies in California, including 360 Destination Group, LA Party Designs (LAPD), and Destination Concepts, to name a few.

From painting at a private party for the owners of the Nation’s NFL Football Teams to charity events like MiOcean, Drew has entertained many different crowds of people.

Drew uses non-toxic, non-messy, no-smell Uni Posca Paint Pens.  This medium allows for a free flow of bright colors and for fast painting, which comes in handy at events.

The beauty of having a fast painter is this:  your guests will enjoy the pleasure of seeing a painting come to life right before their eyes!

We offer many different options for your events.  Here’s just a few:

  • Live Surfboard Painting:  Drew will paint a theme that is meaningful to either the event or the company.  If the surfboard is being purchased, the companies logo may be worked into the painting.  (Many companies give the surfboard away either as a raffle item or as an award).
  • Live Painting on Canvas, or any other Object
  • Small paintings available as gift for your attendees
  • Custom painting(s) specifically for the company/event and prints made for attendee gifts
  • Ready-made prints of Drew’s art as give-away for attendees
  • Custom packages available – we can do just about anything you need

OUTDOOR EVENTS/SPORT CONTESTS: 

Add fascination to your festival or fair by having Drew paint a mural while your attendees watch!
.
The possibilities are endless, but here’s a tried and true concept:  Drew will paint a mural on wood, and it will be designed for photo opportunities during your event.
.
Drew has painted murals at many events, including surfing events such as the Pipeline Masters in Hawaii and contests such as the Battle of the Paddle races in Dana Point, CA.
.
See an example of the Rainbow Sandals Battle of the Paddle mural Drew painted on-site in 2009.  It doubled as a mural and a photo-backdrop for the awards ceremony.
