Consultancy - advice to advertising and marketing agencies etc.

For a number of years Cook's have been supplying help advice and practical hands on services to advertising and marketing agencies. - The Cooks "no nonsense" approach helps deliver results when others are not sure.

Cook's work at the "coal face" and have a true hands on feel for plants and all things horticultural - if you need solid practical help and advice with a project in the UK - please let us help you deliver it. -

Objectives
1. Create a TV commercial
2. Take pictures for: -
a. Magazine advertising
b. On the internet
c. Marketing product library

Strategy
The challenge is... advertising has to work ahead of the natural rythm of the seasons

- magazines require pictures and advertising copy weeks before nature creates the right environment.

- With Cook's enormous experience in all things horticultural and the aid of heated glass houses and artificial light the challenge was met.

Cooks had visited the site in advance - as part of the planning process and come the day of the shoot were in a position to supply a lorry load of plants in bloom months earlier than would normally be the case.

The Cooks team got everything in position screens, plants, shrubs etc.

With the ground cold and wet great care had to be taken to avoid damaging the grass.

hanging baskets - a superb show!Despite a difficult summer for the weather in 2007 with some TLC regular feeding and watering our hanging baskets thrived.

Tip - whilst it might appear that a good downpour will take care of watering in truth very often the rain simply bounces off the foliage in a hanging basket and down on to the ground - make sure that you water at least daily. "Feed" a couple of times a week to bring out the best in your hanging baskets.
