We've collaborated with Ordnance Survey to create these two PACMAT families. Starting with the the Lake District and the New Forest National Parks. Hopefully this is just the start of something very special. We love their #GetOutside campaign and hope that these PACMATs will encourage families out for more adventurous picnics with the comfort of a light, easy to carry, waterproof picnic mat combined with a map so that they can see where they are and plan their routes. Perfect for outdoorsy Christmas presents.

As we were doing a lot of steep tracks too, not just walking distance, we thought we should have a vertical target as well - so we set the goal of "climbing Mont Blanc", and drew up a chart, something measurable, where they could see their progress.  On each walk we...

We have teamed up with Mother Freckle for a golden giveaway. Follow @mother_freckle and @rubbastuff on instagram, then...

Taste-PR got in touch with Rubbastuff when it was working on a campaign for Gordon's Gin ready mixed gin and tonic, aimed at festival goers. They called us to see if it was possible to create a bespoke poncho for their client. We looked into different colour and fabric options, slightly tailoring the design. We also looked at transfer solutions to get the brand and hash tag, #tinning, onto the poncho, creating visuals for the client and final artwork for production. We are very pleased with the results.
