Post-Olympic fears set in as 2013 begins to bite

People’s overall happiness has fallen for the 2nd time in the last 6 months, our latest Pulse Check Up stats reveal, confirming that any remnants of Olympic spirit have well and truly faded.

Interestingly, and despite the harsh realities of the economy, 71% of people cited in-store experience and customer service as being more important than price, whilst 75% of people choose brands that are perceived to ‘go the extra mile’ for them.

ITB and Guangzhou Best in Show awards for Emirates

We’re delighted to announce that two of our stands for Emirates have picked up huge accolades at recent international travel trade shows.

Our Emirates Globe – a fully rotating, interactive three-storey replica of the earth – scooped Best in Show at the world renowned ITB Berlin, whilst our impactful and dynamic stand at one of Asia’s most influential tourism events, the Guangzhou International Trade Fair in China, also won the same accolade. All of which has led to a very happy team.

Tell me what’s your flavour

Blossom Hill were looking for a new website to help their customers explore more. We worked closely with them to create a barrier breaking, beautifully responsive, flavour focused website where visitors can easily find their new favourite wines. Behind the scenes is some serious coding that takes HTML5 to the limits whilst keeping the animation completely fluid.

See for yourself and enjoy exploring this fruity, fresh, crisp, juicy, mellow, smooth and spiced website by clicking here.

A haunted website for Bushmills Whiskey

We’ve just created and launched the new global brand website for Bushmills. It’s a completely different approach for Bushmills, and brings them much more in line with where the brand sits today. But we were careful to retain some of the heritage. Like the old distillery itself, the site is haunted by a grey apparition. Visit late at night when no one’s around for a chance to encounter this lady of legend.

Rocktails one year on

We met Rocktails at ‘Marketing For Start Up Britain’ last year, and we’ve just celebrated a very happy anniversary of working with the world’s coolest Frozen Cocktail Company. From branding, advertising, packaging, digital and sales promotion, we do the full works for them. And of course, we drink a lot of the stuff.

One of our most successful campaigns so far was at Taste of London, where we invented RockIce.

Launching the Zero Emissions range

Our big event for Renault this summer was Hampton Court, where they sponsored the conceptual gardens. We gave them their own concept to showcase their electric range – creating the greenest garden at the show. A full scale mock up of a front garden complete with eco driveway, where every single element was environmentally friendly, including the Zero Emission cars parked proudly out front.

See, you can sell cars and keep trees happy all at the same time.
