Client: Chestnut Tree House for Designation (2009)

Details: This is a campaign microsite to support the Chestnut’s Challenge (www.chestnutschallenge.org.uk) which aims to raise awareness and support for the Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice in Sussex, led by some great kids within or connected to the hospice itself.  The Take the challenge, Pass it on microsite is part of a YouTube video viral campaign put together by the hospice and it’s team (see campaign credits) to be the hub for sharing the content. I designed and developed the site and helped make sure it was live for the big launch event in December ‘09.

I hope the campaign will be a success for all involved, especially the children, and indeed why not get involved yourself by either donating to the hospice or by passing on the link to your friends so that they can get to meet the wonderful kids involved. Please visit www.challengesussex.org.uk

Client: Chestnut Tree House for Designation (2009)

Details: Designation had been working with St Barnabas and Chestnut Tree House Hospices for a number of years running their main websites. The team at Chestnut Tree House came up with a new campaign idea to help raise much needed funds with the help of children either in or connected to the hospice. These Challengers have set themselves the task of promoting the work of the hospice and they are an example to us all. The supporting website (www.chestnutschallenge.org.uk) was put together to help the hospice gain new supporters willing to take the challenge and to allow existing supporters to leave messages of support for the children. I worked for the marketing team at Chestnut Tree House to produce, design and build this site and the supporting campaign site (Take The Challenge, Pass It On).

Client: Performance Unlimited for Designation (2004-2009)

Details: Now onto my 6th marketing contact at Performance Unlimited (a company that is continually evolving) I’ve been involved in a number of programmes and projects with them over the years. At the peak I managed a programme of over 10 projects covering both online and offline delivery of the brand we’d just created for them.

Cubeez: They cubee-doobee-did-it

Client: Cubeez for Designation (2001-2002)

Details: Cubeez is a kids TV show still seen occasionally in the UK (it used to be on GMTV) and elsewhere worldwide. When the first series launched in 2001 the production team wanted a state-of-the-art interactive website to support the show and continue the excitement of the characters into the online world. I worked as project manager, overseeing an 8 person team on this £130K project. Utilising SQL Server (with all text and audio coming out of the database to enable multiple languages), ASP and Flash (with Generator at the time) it was a cutting-edge site and introduced all sorts of user interactivity that wouldn’t become mainstream over the years that followed (and some that still haven’t).
