Nzime

It’s no secret that most of us at Nzime have an unhealthy obsession with motorbikes. Frequently writing off Sundays to get our fix of British Superbikes, World Superbikes, MotoGP and for the more extreme of us, actually getting out on the track for some petrol/adrenalin fueled highs.

On Friday afternoon some of us snuck off a few minutes early to catch the Redbull X-Fighter Jams Tour in the Nottingham Market Square.We were treated to frenzy of whips and backflips by some of the competitors for this years Red Bull X-Fighters. Not wanting to miss an opportunity the camera phones came straight out to share the experience.

Hi, I’m Louisa and this morning I turned up for my very first day working at Nzime!

I am now Nzime’s Junior Account Handler and I’ve been practically bouncing off the walls with excitement at the prospect of working for Nzime since Andrew emailed me offering me the job!

Nzime is a really creative environment and looking at their portfolio I’ve been incredibly impressed with every website produced to date – an achievement!

A bit about me: My background is quite creative, my degree was in Broadcast Journalism, I’ve dabbled in a bit of Philosophy and PR too! For the last year, I’ve been putting all my writing skills in to practice and worked in SEO (Search Engine Optimisation/Online Marketing). I’ve worked on a huge range of sites, from fashion to automotive, adult and electrical so very little fazes me.

I’ll be blogging about the things that I’m up to at Nzime, whether it is SEO,  Social Marketing or office antics. I really hope you find my blog posts amusing and/or inspiring. If you’re a Twitter addict like me, you can follow me on Twitter as well for Nzime related updates and my declarations of love for jelly babies. http://www.twitter.com/louisa_nzime

We’re the first to admit that we’re pretty spoilt when it comes to lovely brands to work with and this is certainly no exception. Westley Richards & Co have kindly asked us to re-develop their online presence and create an environment which truly reflects the history, craftsmanship and desirability of the brand. We can’t wait to get started.

Wow. All my career I have read grafik mag and to hear the news that it is ceasing publication is quite a shock, there are ripples of surprise throughout the community. Let’s hope they try and keep the digital version up and running. Good luck guys!

Bit daft of me not to be wearing these, think I have learnt my lesson that the new monkey trail at Cannock is a bit more tasty when it comes to speed so next time I will definitely be Knox protected. Lesson learnt the VERY sore way.

After months and months of super hard graft the Rare Ltd brand spanking new website is live. The whole team has really pulled together on this one with some serious time and dedicated hours being put in to make this happen. It’s a huge huge HUGE project for us and we are incredibly proud of the end product. Check it out.

This evening we will be watching the live stream from E3 in Los Angeles where Microsoft will be announcing the launch of the new Xbox project, ‘Natal’ ‘Kinect’ hardware. We will then be pressing the button to launch the new Rare site which will be showcasing some pretty exciting content. http://www.rare.co.uk keep hitting refresh, should be launching very soon…..

Beers, pizza and big sighs of relief all round. If you’re in Nottingham then come join the party!

So, as we initially mentioned a short while back we have been working with Rare on a very very VERY exciting project, as far as dream project’s go this is right up there (especially for the gamers in the studio). The teaser is up and there has been lot’s of hype and some very interesting theories as to what the countdown reveals. The guardian was one of many site’s to feature the teaser. Everyone will have to wait  and watch this space to see what the light is at the end of the teasing tunnel!

Check back soon to the blog to find out developments.

We’re all looking forward to our new team member starting in July. Louisa will be joining us to help out with managing our lovely clients.

We’re also currently looking for a middle weight/senior account handler and an experienced print/online designer. We’re constantly on the lookout for great local and not-so-local freelancers to help out with creative, coding and copywriting.

If you fit any of the above then please drop us your details and CV to andrew@nzime.com.

Insider magazine held their annual 42 under 42 event last night where 42 of the most influential midlands entrepreneurs under 42 years old attended. Andrew was chosen as one of the 42 which surprised us all as we all thought he was over 42. Trevor Palmer of Tank PR was also selected as one of the midlands entrepreneurs to watch.
