Each year, after all the hard work, we like to have a good old knees up and a bit of friendly(ish) competition. This year we decided a spot of winter Go-Karting would be a suitable platform for us to pitch our competitive natures against each other. Some of us were worried that adverse weather conditions would threaten the event as heavy snow started to fall over Nottingham. But a bit of snow, freezing conditions and black ice wasn’t going to stop us. We equipped ourselves with multiple pairs of gloves, waterproof race suits and the courage of fools to see who is the true driving champion/s.

After a 1 hour endurance race in sub freezing temperatures and an track that would rival the Nottingham Ice Arena the results were as follows:

1. John and Sam
2. Darren and Laura T
3. Al and Rhian
4. David and Simon
5. Jonno and Laura K
6. Andrew and Barbara
7. Louisa and Ed

After defrosting and cleaning ourselves up we headed off to the Curry Lounge for lavish food and a few drinks:

Just launched the site for www.detourdefrance.fr, after months of pulling everything together we went live this week. Rob and the team have been doing an amazing job organising a replica of the Tour de france for next June.

Yep, the tree is up! but the big question is who made it as the fairy this year?…..

Chocolate yule log!….

Elastoplast launched their new Invisible Protection range and Nzime helped support this by implementing an online campaign that hinged around user generated content.

We had a lot of fun reading through the 1000′s of beauty tips submitted, some we could publish some we couldn’t!

Elastoplast had a great response and now that the campaign has ended we have updated the site to feature  a lot of the beauty tips, so even if you don’t need them, and I’m sure you don’t, click here to check them out.

The secret’s finally out! Over the past year we have been working with Rare and Microsoft Games Studios (MSG) on building  Rare.co.uk and now the official Facebook application to support the Xbox Kinect launch title Kinect Sports.

The press release went out just moments ago and we couldn’t be happier with what we have all achieved working alongside everyone at Rare and MSG. Rare have done an amazing job building a fantastically enjoyable game, leaving some of us in the studio resorting to deep heat after getting a little too competitive playing Kinect Sports yesterday (UK launch day).

The Facebook application allows anyone with Kinect Sports to join international leagues to put their skills up against the rest of the world,  create and join custom leagues with friends and view their Kinect Sports videos which can be uploaded via Kinect Share.

Just our long jump skills to work on now….

Having just taken delivery of the new Xbox Kinect hardware we’re getting to grips with kicking John’s ass at boxing….

It’s nice to actually play the game in the comfort of the studio after having months of keeping schtum while developing the rare.co.uk web site and something else which we really can’t talk about (yet)….

Account Manager needed.

We’re not too interested in CV’s, couldn’t give a hoot about initials after your name and certainly won’t look at how many GCSE’s you have.
We simply need someone who loves everything to be in it’s place, someone who cannot let something go unfinished and someone who just lives for results and stats. You will have needed to have had a few years client facing experience under your belt and know how an agency works as we would need you to hit the ground running; well a brisk jog to start with would be fine. You would be directly dealing with 3-4 clients ranging from SME to international accounts as well as being involved in the new business process.
There’s no fixed salary for this position but we are looking for a mid to heavy weight so the salary will fit the person and their experience accordingly.

If this all sounds like your kind of job and you’d like to find out more then firstly have a click around our web site, if you’re still interested then please drop us an email with a brief description of yourself and why you think you are the person we’ve been looking for all this time.

No recruitment agencies please.

Please send all enquiries to anewjob@nzime.com

One of the trickiest concepts we’ve attempted but well worth the head scratching. We’ll be posting up the results as soon as it’s launched…
