New luxury North East magazine launched…
After almost six months in the making, the first issue of W Magazine has finally been released. I worked on the magazine with Velvet Communications, who will publish the magazine quarterly on behalf of Wynyard Park, one of the North East’s biggest and fastest-growing locations for living, lifestyle and business. W Magazine brings together these three elements to create a luxury, aspirational read. A launch party will be held at Wynyard Park in October and issue 2 is due mid November.
First video campaign for Spark…
An exciting new video marketing campaign is underway for Spark Response. The company’s official photographer, Saša Savić, filmed on site at Spark’s contact centres for four hours today with the aim of building upon an existing image-lead brand. The content will hopefully form part of a newly re-launched website in early March.

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…

2010 all wrapped up…
As we get ready to hybernate for a week or so, we have just issued our first ever Christmas card, which depicts 2010… all wrapped up. Imagine, if you will, samples of printed work from the past 12 months (or so, we went back maybe as far as November 2009) wrapped lovingly around a gift box and tied up with ribbons and a big bow. Our way of saying “Thank you and Merry Christmas” to all of our clients, suppliers, colleagues and friends who have worked with and supported us in 2010… see you in 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.
