We’re back online!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Due to unforeseen circumstances our site had disappeared into the ether of the world wide web earlier this week.

A combination of hosting issues and domain name problems meant things all went a bit pear shaped on Tuesday. We’ve been beavering away in cyberspace to resolve things and we’re glad to say we’re back up and running.

Unfortunately Email is still a little fractious but we should have this back and working in due time.

Apologies to those who’ve tried to visit us in the last week.

We promise it won’t happen again.

Better launch iPhone/iTouch version of Betterbrandagency.com

Friday, October 17th, 2008

After recently launching our website, we have now launched a version of the website and blog optimised for viewing on the Apple iPhone and Touch.

Now, all you folks out there that aren’t lucky enough (Or sad enough, depending on your point of view!) to own one of these brilliant pieces of technology, we’ll be doing a sketch in crayon on a paper towel so you don’t feel left out!

If you’re lucky enough to have one then please check it out and let us know your thoughts, but keep it to yourselves, don’t let the paper towel lot know what you think. We look forward to hearing from you.

We are still looking for Better website developer

Monday, October 13th, 2008

We have some interest from some very capable and exciting developers but we are still looking for more. The Better team is growing and we are looking for a web developer to join us.

The web developer role requires demonstration technical ability but more importantly the passion required to forge a career in digital media that by its very nature requires continuous learning.

You should have a love for all things web and an understanding, if not a working knowledge of good web site construction. You will see web projects as being not only design and functionality, but also understand the marketing and communication requirements for the project (including SEO). You should find code and problem solving interesting and have a genuine interest in perusing a career within a vibrant commercial studio and a Better environment where deadlines change daily.

Find out more by reading the full job description.
