New toy for the studio

We’ve got a new toy in the studio. It’s highly addictive and has already caused a few minor injuries. Said injuries to date seem to all stem from Al’s ferocious serve… Clare received a blow to the throat which she was pleased about.

Mondo so far exhibition

I headed up to Leeds last weekend to check out an exhibition curated by Olly Moss on behalf of Mondo, the Texan art-house and film poster specialists at the lovely White Cloth Gallery. Some awesome screen-printed film posters!

Christmas at Nzime

It is officially Christmas in the Nzime studio (much to Al’s dismay), after wrapping the lights around the tree and then plugging them in and find half of them didn’t work – we won’t be making that mistake again! We also have Laura as our lovely Pikachu fairy on top of the tree this year…

Chris learns a lesson…

Seb teaches Chris a thing or two…

Sneak peek from our latest shoot

We’ve just finished shooting the new Coldkillers range from Knox with our good friends over at Scene Photography. We’re really pleased with the result and we may have to invest in some as the temperature drops in the studio. Brr.

Show support for WABCO

Our client, WABCO asked us to create an interface to showcase their vehicle control system products that worked over 3 different platforms for the IAA 2012 – the world’s largest commercial vehicle trade fair in Hannover.

The first platform we developed is the touchscreen interface which you can see in use here on the WABCO stand. The touchscreen allows potential customers to engage with products and offers both multi-lingual and multi-regional options.

Touchscreen interface

Secondly, we developed an iPad app version of the touchscreen interface with the added functionality of data capture, meaning WABCO can use this as a powerful selling tool after the trade show when visiting clients.

Finally we created a microsite, this mirrored the touchscreen and iPad app in functionality but meant that customers could access the interface externally, making WABCO’s reach even further.

New face at Nzime

 Clare is the new face at Nzime towers. She’s slightly ginger (don’t hold it against her), a lover of lists and afraid of mugs… yup mugs.

She’ll be supporting several accounts – as long as they don’t they’re nothing to do with hot drink receptacles of course. Clare will be keeping us super organised armed with her lists and highlighter.

With a love of photography you can usually find her with a camera stuck to her face.

 

LowInfo, HighProfile.

LowInfo are a manufacturer of beautiful concrete work ranging from commercial counters and receptions through to elegant, stunning tables and furniture. They approached us to help them through a re-brand and positioning using several activities which will be launching over the next couple of months.

Great people, great product.

 

FirstSpirit approved partner.

As part of that process we work very closely with the FirstSpirit CMS to keep activities centralised and manageable when it comes to international roll out.

We are official FirstSpirit trained partners which essentially means we know our CMS onions.
