Client: MyRetailTherapist for Designation (2008-2009)
Details: The shopaholics at MyRetailTherapist needed a CMS website that would support their addition. As well as having a blog, news diary (linked into NewsNow), a directory of favourite stores and a feature to allow people to pick their shopping brains, the site has a poll and online advertising functionality. Basically it’s an integrated tool also used to support digital marketing channels such as Twitter.
Client: Atkins MC for Designation (2005-2009)
Details: When a client (Mantix) was taken over by the huge entity that is Atkins (becoming their Management Consultancy division) I was lucky enough to be able to continue on the account managing their website. I’ve been involved with their site over ten years now and I recently (Sept 09) made the 4th evolution of their website live. This new site incorporates numerous MooTools scripts to add dynamism to their content.
Client: University of Reading for Designation (2008-2009)
Details: Reading Uni knew that there was a real lack of secondary school teachers in certain subjects. To tackle this they set up some new Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) courses aimed at fast tracking new recruits onto the Post-graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) courses needed to become a qualified teacher.
However they were having trouble finding suitable qualified students to fill the places. I was part of a team that ran an intense last minute marketing campaign in late December and January to try and fill courses starting in February.
The techniques we applied got the campaign up-and-running within a couple of days and qualified potential applicants back in front of the entry board within a week. Over the course of the campaign we exceeded targets by over 400% and over 80% of the students on some courses came through our very cost-effective campaign.
Client: SLS for Designation (2008-2009)
Details: SLS Group is an event delivery and implementation company that provide services Worldwide for a event organisers who need overlay, look and/or fit-out services. Be it temporary structures, way-finding, flags or fence scrim SLS can do it all. They needed a website full of images to help illustrate this wide range of services that they can offer, and that’s wht Designation delivered. I was involved primarily in the early consultation and the development of the site itself which utilises JavaScript (including the MooTools framework) to add movement and interactivity to the image browsing.
Client: Vendigital for Designation (2004-2009)
Details: I’ve worked with the Vendigital team for 5 years implementing their marketing website. Starting as an online procurement company (with a reverse auctioning system) they’ve evolved into experts across the supply chain, with a focus on global sourcing. The site is built in PHP and has evolved to have 3 localised versions (UK, German and US). The UK website was updated early in 2009 with some JQuery functionality added to liven up the homepage as a trial. My involvement has mainly been digital project management and site development.
