Be Better Informed – November

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Our monthly shout out about what’s buzzing in the Better studio.

——————————————————————–

Shortlisted for The Northern Marketing Awards
We’re delighted to be shortlisted for Best Digital Marketing Campaign alongside four other companies at the up coming Northern Marketing Awards. We know the other companies involved and in all honesty just being pitched alongside them is fantastic. They’re good businesses, with passionate people so we’ll be chuffed regardless of who wins. (Secretly we obviously want it badly! But you knew that didn’t you?)

Our Second trip abroad to pitch!
After a successful first trip, we’re going back to deliver “The Social Media Pitch Part Deux!” This week Paul and I are going back to talk about specifics and hopefully, our first two international clients will follow shortly after.

A shameless shout out for Declan
Dec has launched a new blog, ‘A Social Life’, which will focus on our interest in social brands, design, and businesses who have implemented successfully social strategies. We figure if we find the case studies that show you social brands in action, and contributing to their community, we can all learn from them. We’d like your feedback, both good and bad so please tell us what you think. Take a look at www.asociallife.co.uk. (more…)

Be Better Informed – October 2009

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Our monthly shout out about what’s buzzing in the Better studio.

The TyneTeesTwestival

The TyneTeesTwestival is all about people. We’ve got to say a big big thank you to some high energy people who stepped up to the bar to help deliver the event. Aoife, Li, The Sharpe ladies, Laura M, Oli, The Frii Spray guys, Amanda and Chris for the pictures and the Sailor Girls. Our sponsors were generous, our host was accommodating and people had a good time; drank, ate and gave their money for charity. Every team needs a leader and Aoife, who despite illness, unescapable trips away and a full time job managed to pull us all together and make us work as a team. Around £1,400 was raised which will go to support Teesside Hospice and NECCR (North East Child Cancer Research), the events chosen charities. Again there’s pics a plenty below, so go take a look….in a bit!

We’ve also been heavily involved in supporting the upcoming ‘Touch of Class‘ Ball which will be held at the MFC Riverside Stadium this evening. Now in its 4th year, the event goes from strength to strength, with previous events having raised nearly £60,000. With only 200 tickets available and some high profile names already on the guest list, it’s an exclusive event not to be missed! (more…)

Be Better Informed – July 2009

Our monthly shout out about what’s buzzing in the Better studio.

——————————————————————————————–

If We Can You Can Challenge. ‘The Winners’.
Sadly Mark didn’t win (Congrats BTW to Craig Smith, Ian Smith, Esther Dingley, Steven Smith, Ray Liddle, Louise Bell, Rob Earnshaw and Ralph Thompson) but a keenly contested challenge gave us a lot of valuable coverage and goes to show that just taking part in the challenge can help a young business raise it’s profile. A lot of friends, clients and peers took the time to support us so here’s a big shout out to all the good good people who took the time to vote for us. Just being in the company of such dynamic businesses makes us feel we’re doing the right things and people see us as a company worth following. (more…)

Be Better Informed – June 2009

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Our monthly shout out about what’s buzzing in the Better studio.

———————————————————————–

We’d like to say welcome to some nice new clients.
It’s a cliche but we’re people people, their drive and enthusiasm for what we’re going to be doing together is what we’re in this business for.

The Enterprise Team (Redcar & Cleveland, LEGI).
Better is delighted to announce that we’ll be working with The Enterprise Team to build a website that will provide valuable practical resources for enterprise businesses and schools in the Redcar & Cleveland area. We’re feeling the infectious drive within the team to support people with ambition, who want to step off on the path to owning their own business and we will be contributing time to developing marketing and PR resources people will find useful as well as building the system to house them. The Enterprise Team is looking beyond the two years it has remaining, and providing a repository for all their amassed knowledge will ensure people can benefit from it for years to come.

Yarm School
The region’s leading independent school has appointed Better to re-design and re-develop its website. Currently moving into development the new website will provide full content authoring across the Preparatory School, Raventhorpe, Senior School and Sixth Form. Functionality and improved call to actions across the website, as well as a powerful and simple CMS designed for all levels of user will support the administration of content. The project will be complete for the new school term. (more…)

With confidence and motivation at rock bottom, he decided the only way was up and embarked on a post-graduate qualification “as much for my mum as for myself”. (more…)
