Nzime

Our latest interface project launched for Speedo UK on Wiggle.com this week. For the last few months Nzime has been working on this awesome but top secret project, so today we’re very excited to share with you the fruits of our labour.

Speedo UK came to us and asked to design and build a product interface which showcased their cutting edge range of triathlete suits, googles and caps on their retail partners sites. The interface needed to be interactive, slick and echo the suits elite purpose for athletes at the top of their sport.

Client Services Director at Nzime, Chris McGillan said “When Speedo approached us to showcase their latest triathlon range, we were excited about producing something experiential that really reflected the passion of triathletes. We didn’t just want to show the products, we wanted to bring that intensity and motion into an interface where triathletes could really engage with them – while still retaining a strong e-commerce link. But in a nutshell, it’s totally badass.” My thoughts exactly Chris.

Take a look behind the scenes of our photo shoot in Nottingham, see how the shoot was put together and the team that helped make it….

He’s done it again, Al has secured the top spot once more. This time Chris has clawed his way up to second place after injuring Darren with a flying puck to the hand. The less said about Andrew, Nick and my scores the better…

When Al mentioned he once had hair that even Alan Davies would envy, we knew it was time to see evidence. And here it is, Al from the 80′s (otherwise known as 2005).

We’re trying to decide where he belongs most: The Scorpions or Def Leppard

I think this may be the start of a new feature for the Nzime blog – who will be next?!

Finally got round to framing and hanging my Mash Creative & Matt Booth prints, coincidentally on the same day as the 19th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death (spooky!)

At Nzime we take our air hockey very seriously (some of us take it a little too seriously). Ben received a devastating blow to the hand which saw him crumble to last place on the leader board, with Al securing the top spot for March.

Think you can beat this lot? Get down to the Nzime studio and give us a go!

After a long working relationship with Rare Game Studios we are now working with Lionhead and a third, exciting opportunity on the horizon. All very exciting, more details to come soon…

Full story… The day a big cat stalked Woolpack Lane.

Last week we were busy busting a move in London at Pentland HQ for our lovely clients, Speedo. The Pentland offices are a real feast for the eyes, so we thought we’d share with you a few images.

Speedo invited us to support them in presenting a digital seminar to their international markets, Nzime’s main focus for the day was to explain our upcoming digital projects with Speedo and to run a work shop to get their input, involving a lot of post it notes and sweets! We can’t reveal too much yet but there are some exciting times ahead! We even made character ID lanyards (some more representative than others!) for all the seminar presenters which went down a storm.

….and thankfully no, I didn’t end up in the pool!

Say hi to Ben, he’s our new Project Manager. He’ll be heading up all things project management for us and will be implementing some slick new systems into the studio.

He loves a good spreadsheet and goes crazy for a graph or two. When he’s not listening to Justin Bieber he plays tennis, hockey and football.

He’s already messed up Andrew’s tea order, but there’s hope for him yet… 

Working with the great people over at Quirk & Hill we created the Munch Time site allowing budding authors to upload their children’s stories to be entered into a national competition. Go on, let loose… www.munchtime.co.uk
