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!

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.

Smashing Magazine entered Dripping in Fat as one of the stores that make the showcase of online t-shirt stores & Web designs, all of which serves as a great source of inspiration for Web designers, graphic designers and even illustrators.

This is what they said:

“Dripping in Fat is a store dedicated to creating t-shirts with a distinct message, all designed by some of the best designers around the globe! The modern, colorful design evokes a clothesline, with some awesome Flash animations”Check it out >>>

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:

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…

Yep. We thought it would be a pop-tastic site and climb its way up. This weeks highest mover is…

Well, what a nice start to the week. We were first nominated back in June… and now we have just been informed that We Love has been confirmed as one of the TOP 100 GLOBAL CREATIVE AGENCIES. I feel all glowy inside.

After someone (we know not who) kindly nominated us… we were contacted by The Creative Agency Awards and asked to submit a piece of custom work for the ‘FINAL JUDGEMENT’ to these unbiased, independent and indeed secret guys and girls… The agencies (not just digital, but offline as well) that made the grade were judged on their creative over the past year and their submission to the judge. Its good to be loved.

The book is to be published soon

Well done crew, keep up the good work.

We have done it again…

Our latest poptastic web entry in the echelons of Design Charts is only a lowly 36… But we believe Charles Lee Loves You will be up near the pointy end soon.

Congrats to all

The site ‘Charles Lee Loves You’, designed and built by We Love, for film and video guru Josh Michnik, has won a Design Lick Web Award and been designated as Site of the Day! It will be showcased on the 9th August, so be sure to check out ‘Design Licks’ … and feel our fame…

Last week Digital Gurus flew into the Design Charts top 10 at a knee trembling No.8. This week the Guru’s are not only holding their ground, but fighting their way into the top 2.

Will next week see the Guru’s claiming pole position? Only time will tell… now leave me alone, I need to get back to clicking through from the top 10 portals the Design Charts draw their stats from
