Drive Xtra: Teaching the drivers of tomorrow

DX is a sub-brand of UCC aimed at a younger, more inexperienced, demographic to their usual driver training courses. I created the corporate identity and logo, designed and built their website landing page and launch brochure and print collateral.

IDASS: Keeping you healthy

IDASS provides equipment for gyms and fitness centres around the country. As part of their promotion of healthy living, and to support fitness trainers, I created a mobile microsite to help in measuring body fat, with social integration to promote use and exposure.

Night to Remember 2012

The Night to Remember midnights walks have helped raise nearly £1 million for the hospices over the last few years. For 2012 the decision was made to upgrade the CMS system managing the website/s. I produced the new sites and set up the functionality so that event registrations have PayPal integration (with Instant Payment Notification to reduce administration time) and offer registrants the options of automatically creating a JustGiving fundraising page (which was achieved via the new JustGiving API). There is also Facebook and Twitter connectivity.

ITF: logo and event websites

The previous ITF event websites were mis-matched and didn't offer the brand continuity or functionality needed by the organisations. Working through Andrew Whiteman of Open Globe Marketing I evolved the logo so each organisation had a clear but connected identity, and designed and developed 2 new websites in WordPress CMS which allowed them full control over their content. They can now easily upload and manage their own event listings (with location map and EventBrite connectivity) which get ordered and listed automatically to keep the homepage and event list up-to-date.

Turnkey Concept: Email Template

Turnkey Concept offer a range of kitchen and bathroom solutions for both trade and public. They needed a way to communicate all their new products and suppliers to their wide audience and decided on an HTML email template. Synthetic Egg was recommended to them and I provided them with a cost effective solution which could be used both directly from their local Outlook email client as well from any email marketing software, with just a minor change to the small print to ensure the recipients could unsubscribe.

Synthetic Egg eNewsletter

Email marketing is an important part of my own digital marketing plan, being used to help me keep in touch with those interested in my services, and as a means to communicate discount offers. It was important for me to keep the template look and feel consistent with the rest of my brand collateral (most notably the website), and also for it to be flexible so I could vary the number of articles in each category without the template struggling. As such I opted for a clean and simple approach to keep the focus on the features and offers, with a clear call to action in the footer.

Tony Briscoe: Email marketing

As part of his marketing plan Tony had been sending out irregular emails containing images his latest work to his client base. He needed to take this to the next step so I set up an online email marketing system which allowed him to better manage this process. He can now send out consistently branded emails (using the email template also developed) containing a mix of text and photography which he can prepare and send via the online system.

Ellingham Darcy: Recruitment

Ellingham Darcy is a recruitment consultancy working in niche areas within the media industry. Having recently rebranded they needed a new content managed website to communicate with their audience (both clients and candidates). WordPress was the perfect solution, and utilising a core Theme they already owned I developed this website to fit their requirements of incorporate vacancy listings as well blog posting, along with core company details and their latest twitter feed (as social media is a key tool for the company).

Abbotsley Country Homes: Cambridgeshire retreat

Abbotsley Country Homes is an exclusive development in 6 acres of delightful Cambridgeshire countryside with 20 plots all destined for lovely wooden lodges. Having worked with me previously through Designation when I built the original website, the team were keen to work with me again to update the site ready for Phase 2 of their plot release.

St Barnabas Hospice: Open to the public

St Barnabas Hospice were putting the finishing touches to their brand spanking new hopsice building when they approached Article1o to provide an online booking system to reward their donors with a guided tour of the premises. With multiple thousand people involved and very specific requirements regarding the bookings and the output of tour group data for the guides, a bespoke system made the most sense.

Clare Greenstreet: Styling food

Clare is a food guru who, when she isn't coming up with new recipes or styling food for the top food photographers, can be found supporting a wide range of well known celebrity foodies on TV and Radio with presentations and demonstrations.
