Emakina scans Food additives for the European Commission

Dec 30 2011

Having healthy eating habits has become a big trend in society. People pay more and more attention to what they eat. We now look at tags on products we eat, if they contain food dyes, preservatives or how many calories they have. Food additives are present everywhere, they are either natural or manufactured substances that are added to food for a variety of reasons, for example to restore the colour lost during processing, to add a sweet taste to the product or to prevent spoilage.

 

 

The aim of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Public Health and Consumer Protection (DG SANCO) is to help make Europe Union’s citizens healthier, safer and more confident. Therefore, DG SANCO requested Emakina/Motion to produce a viral video aimed at SMEs, in order to communicate on the introduction of a more efficient, simplified and transparent procedure for authorisation of food additives.

The Commission considers it important that the concerned stakeholders as well as the EU citizens in general are informed about this new legislation. The ‘Food additives’ video campaign introduces Jim, a demanding customer in a restaurant who tests and scans all the food he finds on his plate.

 

 

The objective of this video clip is to attract attention to the SANCO website where all information about the use, safety and benefits of food additives can be found. The different scripts aim at delivering a positive message, a single idea and situation, often funny, easy to understand. Now you know there is no need to scan your food for additives, their safety has been scanned for you!

 

 

Emakina.EU for the Safety of Toys

Dec 21 2011

Christmas is a very busy time of year for Santa Claus! He has to get the sleigh ready, feed his reindeers, check his list to be sure he hasn’t forgotten any good girls and boys… and make sure that the toys the elves have purchased are not only fun, but also safe! The European Commission, and particularly the DG Move, has entrusted Emakina.EU with the production of a video promoting the safety of toys, and giving parents some useful advice on which kind of toys to buy.

 

Toys are there to entertain children and give them fun, and are an important part of a child’s development and growth. In addition to meeting the child’s interests, one of the major things parents should keep in mind is the age brackets for use associated with toy. This is the goal of the European Toy Safety Campaign that the European Commission has launched this month; it intends to show how to get the safest toys, and how to use them safely!

 

 

The ‘Safety of Toys’ campaign includes a video clip with toy safety tips, and introduces the ‘CE marking’ little robot who tests the toys in a vast toy shop to make sure they are safe for children to use, after the guard has done his last night round. Cards with toy safety tips reinforce this message in hundreds of toy stores all over the EU.

This video clip was disseminated with a large success on Internet and it is now available for TV broadcasts as a public service message. Parents and children hold now all the cards to spend good forthcoming festivities, safely!

 

 

Emakina revamps the Clean Sky website

Aug 18 2011

After several months of careful preparation, Emakina and Clean Sky proudly launched the new Clean Sky website this summer.

Hélène Barbier, Communication officer of the organisation confirms with enthusiasm that the website received very positive comments all around inside the European Commission. She adds that it was also welcomed by the partners in the project and received a praise in the sector.

 

 

Clean Sky is the most ambitious aeronautical research programme ever launched in Europe. The new platform will help Clean Sky to reach its ambitious mission and objectives. Breakthrough technologies must improve the environmental performances of airplanes and air transport considerably. Less noisy and more fuel efficient aircraft will contribute in achieving the Single European Sky environmental objectives.

The organisation also confirms in its ‘Skyline’ newsletter that the site represents a major improvement in its communication towards all its stakeholders.

The Emakina team produced a fluent and fresh design, combined with attractive video material. At the same time, the revamp is far more then a facelift.  A full Content Management System allows to create and update complex information rapidly. The navigation is intuitive, with direct access to work undertaken, proposals, deliverables and media. More interactive features are ready to be enabled, such as interaction on articles, polls and surveys, blogs, social media links, etc.

The Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative was born in 2008 and represents a unique Public-Private Partnership between the European Commission and the industry. It is managed by the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking until 31 December 2017.
