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…

IOGraphic mouse movements

I came across this cool program IOGraph last week that turns your mouse movements into a work of art. I let the program run for most of the day on Monday and it came out with this visual representation of my day in front of the screen. There are a few too many large blobs where my mouse was left idle but I blame that making the tea and coffee.

New Social Media tool for EndoCare

As part of EndoCare’s ongoing social media strategy we’ve created an interactive Facebook page and Media Hub for all members of the ‘Endo Tribe’.

The Media Hub incorporates a drag and drop dashboard of predefined and customisable RSS and Twitter feeds; an Article repository where ‘white papers’ and academic publications are available for upload and download by all members; and an Advice column that all users are able to participate in.

The Media Hub dynamically feeds back into the Facebook page, allowing instant updates on all articles uploaded – keeping the ‘tribe’ up to the minute with the latest industry breakthroughs and reports.

And all of it completely free. The aim of the hub is to empower the user base, to give something back rather than to force information upon them.

The hub will be developed as the tribe expands, reacting to needs and to user feedback. It’s going to be an exciting journey, and it all starts here.

New relationship with Sony Ericsson

We Love Creative Agency is proud to announce it’s relationship with Sony Ericsson as supplier of creative services. Kicking off with the design and development of an interactive campaign site for the Mobile World Congress 2010, the launch of their new range of handsets was supported by a Social Media strategy including Facebook and a mobile version of the site.

At the heart of the site design was a 3D interactive space, creating engagement and starting the story of the Sony Ericsson MWC event. Taking center stage were the heroes of the site, the phones themselves, supported by social media feeds that drove users towards established Sony Ericsson Social Media channels – creating more awareness and ultimately extending long term engagement.

Congratulations to everyone involved – a great project, an amazing effort all round and most enjoyable to work upon.

A Great New Relationship – West Kent College

At the end of last year we kicked off our new relationship with West Kent College by designing and printing their strategy document for 2010. The end result is a clean, flowing document with some great design touches. We’re already looking forward to the next project, so keep your eyes peeled because there will be plenty more to come…

Below is a sneaky peak from the strategy document… we obviously can’t give it all away…

Another new face in the office…

The We Love team continues to grow with our latest hire! Nathan has joined the design team and got off to a great start working on some pretty cool projects, fitting in right from the start.

Nathan is Kent born and bred, and we are glad he has decided to keep his talent local by joining the We Love family.

Keep an eye out for Nathan’s blog posts in the future!

Oh, and because he took too long to get a photo to me, I managed to find his Facebook and chose the worst photo I could find…

We Love… a good newsletter

We have just had a few of our newsletters featured on Beautiful Email Newsletters, and have been getting some good ratings…

First job live for L’Oreal

Congrats to all – We have just completed our first project for L’Oreal – Vichy Consult.

We have commenced a phased and gradual re-design of the site, introducing a more uniformed visual style as well as improving the overall layout, usability and site structure of the site. We have and will be employing more technical advancements to the site to aid a more user focused experience and create value to the brand.

We look forward to applying the new standards across more areas of the site from here on in.
