Happy (2nd week of the) New Year…

Well… it’s already the 2nd working week (and first full working week) of 2011. So far, we’ve been busy finishing off a number of projects that started last year as well as a few taken on in late December and early January. These include a number of internal communications projects for Stagecoach and Winter Sale materials for megabus.com. This week, we also kick off new website projects for Spark and Velvet, a new shoot with Saša Savić, artwork for the upcoming new album by The Humans and a number of digital music releases for Toyah (as well as an exciting 2011 tour identity)… and a whole lot more! I’ve also been working on a new portfolio book, collecting some of my work from my very first freelance commission in 2002 up to the here and now!

Here’s to a busy and fun-filled 2011…

Phase two for Spark’s Hall of Fame…

Phase two of the Reward & Recognition Hall of Fame campaign for contact centre and fulfilment specialist Spark Response goes live this month ahead of the incentive scheme’s annual draw in December. Staff will take home over £2,000 in cash prizes and the Hall of Fame campaign aims to promote the scheme internally.

New ‘hall of fame’ PR launch for Spark…

A new internal communications and PR program is set to launch on behalf of Gateshead-based fulfilment and contact centre specialist, Spark Response. The campaign is centred around past winners in its Reward and Recognition incentives scheme and aims to revitalise the scheme internally whilst enhancing Spark’s image as a people-focused employer in the North East. A series of photos by Newcastle-based photographer Saša Savić have been taken specifically for the campaign adding consistency to Spark’s existing image-lead brand, which has utlised Saša’s images since the company’s brand re-fresh in 2007. The PR campaign will be supported by Velvet Communications. See creatives from the campaign here.
