And a Big Well Done to Everyone…
I would like to thank the whole team for their efforts, enthusiasm, and passion that led to We Love winning the The Chamber of Commerce’s Kent’s Most Promising New Business 2010.
It was an honour to receive the award last Wednesday at Canterbury Cathedral where we enjoyed a 4 course meal, beer (some of the guys (Gav and Nick) had a lot of beer) and a little opera singing with other finalists and sponsors.
We have worked tirelessly the last 2 years to create a great working environment and to produce great work for our clients as well as work that we are proud of. So a big thank you to our clients as well.
Here is to year 3!!
Many thanks. Mark
Tonight is the Night…

Guys… don’t get too drunk incase we win and have to make an acceptance speech! More news to follow, even if we don’t win.
Recognition for Sony Ericsson’s Campaign
As ever, it’s always good to receive recognition for the effort of so many (client and agency side). So it thrills me to say that the site We Love designed and developed for Sony Ericsson’s Mobile World Congress last month has been received so well by our peers within the industry. Peaking at number 4 in the Design Charts, Site of the Day on Design Licks, Being reviewed in Creative Review as well as being listed in many other ‘hot pick’ sites…

So. Congrats to the team! A job well jobbed!
Pier Appreciation
The campaign we concepted, design and built for INplace developments gets appreciation from the design community this week. Yep it made it to StrangeFruits…
The site, ‘Life’s a Bounce‘ which showcases properties at Ingress Park, Greenhithe had a tremendous effect on generating overall interest and awareness as well (most importantly) fuelling an increase in overall sales. Within 2 weeks 20 properties had been reserved.
Result for all parties involved.

Mark finds fame… but, alas, not fortune, in .NET Mag
A few months back you may remember reading on our blog that Mark, our CD, had been invited to the Design Off in .NET magazine. Well now you can witness his works, thoughts and direction in response to the fictitious brief of a redesign of a theatre site in November’s issue. We believe it to be the best of the bunch… but why don’t you judge for yourself and see if Mark has still got his mojo…
And if you rush out and buy a .Net November issue you can also see his piccy… which he most adamantly claims has had no retouching what so ever… well, we will leave you to make up your own mind on that one…
The Brief:
Mock up the homepage of a theatre site. Visitors should get excited about attending a production and have no trouble finding out what’s on and how to buy tickets. The page should also reflect the atmosphere and personality of the theatre. Consider including social networking features and video.
The Solution:
Innovative Marketing Award
After a nail biting reception and dinner last Thursday at the Affordable Housing Awards (Victoria Park Plaza Hotel), Sarah Beeny presented the award for Most Innovative Marketing Approach to ourselves and our client INplace, for our integrated creative and strategy for the Grand Ocean development in Brighton.
Going up against stiff competition in the form of London & Quadrant and Sentinel, the decision was reached by the evaluation of a number of criteria, most importantly that of measurable results – including sales, and customer satisfaction and engagement.
Needless to say we were absolutely thrilled by this – our thanks goes to everyone who was involved, both agency and client side: particularly Jenny, John and Debbie for trusting in our conceptual approach; and Dan, Mel and Gav for pulling the whole thing together.
See examples from the campaign, or visit the GO Enjoy website and blog.
As you can tell from the photo above, my restraining order restricts me from immediate contact with Sarah Beeny… but I notice John getting remarkably close…
The face of victory…
