Creative Collaborations
These are examples of Creative Collaborations and how they work well together.
Highlander (The Film) and Queen (The Band)
Highlander is a fantasy/action film that was produced in 1986 and was directed by Russell Mulcahy.
Queen composed the music for this movie that included some songs that after, became very popular. In total they composed 9 songs for this popular 1980s movie. The music for the film required different orchestral arrangements which Queen certainly provided, such as the very popular song “It’s a Kinda Magic”. Another popular song in the movie is “Who Wants To Live Forever” which is played in a very emotional part of the film that fits extremely well and was expertly written. “Princes Of The Universe” is the official song for highlander which was written by Freddie Mercury.
The songs written by Queen for this movie worked incredibly well and each song was composed perfectly for each part of the movie. By This Movie production and band working together, it worked out perfectly. Highlander became a very popular film and much of that was a result from Queen’s music alongside the great production of the movie. All of the songs Queen wrote for this movie were later put on their studio album later that year “It’s a Kinda Magic”.

Monopoly and its Various Collaborations
Monopoly is an extremely popular board game dating back to the early 1900’s. Monopoly collaborated with many companies and franchises to make unique versions of the game.
Here are some examples:
To celebrate 50 years of the popular TV series Dr Who, a special version of Monopoly was created to celebrate 50 years of the show. Individual features include all 11 doctors and 6 different themed tokens which were based on popular props from the show, including The Screwdriver and Tom Bakers Scarf.
A more recent example of a unique Monopoly board is the one made last year which is based on the famous Rock/Metal festival “Download”. This version is set in the grounds of Donnington Park where the festival happens every year.
These variations of the game broadened the horizons for monopoly and made the game really varied, so it will appeal to lots of different audiences with various interests.
JACAMO and Freddie Flintoff (Cricket Player)
In 2011 the men’s fashion brand JACAMO, teamed up with famous cricket player Freddie Flintoff and he was named as a brand ambassador. In 2012 JACAMO had his particular fashion range produced within the company and Flintoff models the range on their website. The page on the site with his range looks very stylish yet casual looking and should attract a lot of people. A fashion brand working alongside a famous person, should bring even more attention to their products and hopefully more purchases will be made, especially when the celebrity fits the desired look of the company. Flintoff has even starred in the adverts for the company.
