Behind the scenes of Give a Beep film shoot

Give a Beep is now up and running (or cycling, rather!) and has received great feedback so far. A couple of weeks back, PR agency Edelman Deportivo visited London to get footage for the campaign film. Check out some images from behind the scenes.

The campaign aims to raise awareness about the problems and dangers of cycling on London’s roads and highlight the issues to the capital city’s leaders. 500 Flic buttons have been distributed to members and supporters of the London Cycling Campaign. The cyclists will alert London's new mayor, Sadiq Khan, when they experience a traffic hazard.

But there is a lot of hard work and preparations before a campaign is launched. Two weeks ago, PR agency Edelman Deportivo visited from Sweden, James Bull and Kate Parker of Mynewsdesk UK went down to meet the crew in Shoreditch and caught a glimpse of the creative work!

Following and speaking to cyclists on their potentially hazardous journeys through a web of one-way systems, tricky T-junctions and busy roads, the Give a Beep campaign will gain insight into and give a platform to the thoughts and fears of London’s cyclists.

Hövding - Airbag for cyclists

Hövding started out in 2005 as a master’s thesis by the two founders Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin, who, at the time, were studying Industrial Design at the University of Lund.

The project resulted in the concept of an airbag helmet, which won Innovationsbron’s Ideas Grant. This kick-started the process of developing Hövding into a real product. In 2006 Hövding won the Venture Cup, after which Hövding Sweden AB was founded.

Over the years Hövding has grown from just two people with a great idea, to a NASDAQ-listed company that handle everything from development and production to marketing and sales. Today Hövding consists of a team of around 30 people, all triggered by the word impossible, and Hövding’s airbag for cyclists is available in 16 markets across Europe.

The headquarters are located in an old chocolate factory in Malmö – the sixth greatest cycling city in the world. Final assembly of Hövding is carried out in association with the Japanese Company Nihon Plast.
