TH_NK takes Baltic's urban art exhibition beyond the streets with industry first new media campaign

The North East's leading brand technology company, TH_NK, is working with BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art to bring an innovative digital dimension to its campaign for the UK's first major international urban art exhibition, Spank the Monkey - all part of a unique partnership enabling a diverse audience to access and experience artwork in challenging, new ways, as well as keeping hot on the heels of iconic street artists such as Shepard Fairey!

As BALTIC's first ever New Media sponsor, TH_NK has devised a programme of online activity as part of a fully integrated creative campaign to promote and bring to life work by established world art figures - from the infamous Faile and street art super stars Takashi Murakami and Invader to Japanese graphic designers, Groovisions.

The campaign for Spank the Monkey has been constructed to capture the maximum degree of media attention and generate word of mouth during the course of the exhibition, which runs from October to January 2007. Officially going live next week week (w/c 13.11.06), a series of site specific, one-off artworks and new commissions are being showcased via an SMS campaign which draws together a citywide trail of artworks across NewcastleGateshead - from underground Metro stations to the quayside. Each artwork is accompanied by a mobile number signposting the next location of each piece and taking you on a unique and alternative journey through the exhibition.
