It has been super busy here at We Love… what with the Sony Ericsson 3GSM site going live and a few others to launch oh so very soon… (not forgetting to catch up on the PR of other work that has already launched / been delivered… but that is for another time…)
What this little digital gossip / heads up is all about is that we are now on the hunt for some new talent to join us at the manor… specifically a digital Snr Designer and a Snr Developer with the skillz to blow us away.
You must have agency experience and a few years under your belt, and know how it all works… You must illustrate creativity (no matter how ‘dull’ the project was)… Have sweet business acumen and most excellent people and management skills. Worked for some sweet brands, be at award winning level – top of your game – and have the energy and get up and go to really drive We Love forward.
Got what it takes? Then email CV, URLs to work@welove72.com
With any financial downturn comes a shortage of creativity, where agency and client alike fall back on the tried and tested to sell their product or service in order to protect their job or position. Its a safe option and one that always adopted during hard times, even though we know that in reality it should be the reverse (look at BMW in the ’80’s – ’90’s – Doubled their marketing spend and took over the world) – we should be playing smarter and harder to distinguish our clients from their competition.
So knowing that we are due an influx of rubbishy adverts that include cute animals, hot women, stupid cartoons we present Nando’s latest offering… the only thing… I sort of like it
Came across this rather interesting competition which posses the question what would society look like if the internet was switched off. Would it be as simple as just turning back the clocks prior to broadband… and what of the brands that have raised their mega-heads over the past 10 years, how would they cope with the change…
I have included one example here, but to have a good smile. Click Here>>
We Feel that the people that work for We Love are it’s most important assets. In fact, they are the DNA of the company. We are always looking for talent of all shape and sizes. We are currently looking for a:
Flash Developer / Web Developer
You ooze talent, you have vision and can code the ass off Kylie. You know your way round flash and can animate better than the Warner Brothers, ActionScript better than Cyborg. And are willing to prove yourself in a fast growing, fast paced industry.
Good OO principles required, though we won’t tie you down to PureMVC. AS3, php/python and a good knowledge of HTML/CSS a must – anything else will be a bonus. You use bzr/svn/git regularly and nowledge of the Gaia flash framework is favourable. Someone who is mature enough to understand a brief, can take direction as well as contribute and show initiative. A couple of years experience behind you is a must.
Mac happy and PC proud.
So stop arsing around and send your CV and Folio site to james@welove72.com

The book to be published this year will be on general sale through all good book shops. This is not a plug, but a quantitative comment. The book being for sale allows the Creative Agency Awards to select agencies on creative merit rather than have agencies but their way in. A rather refreshing quality in a world of agency owned award ceromonies…
After a busy couple of weeks Digital Gurus is now live. We did things a little differently this time around, using the Gaia flash framework to speed up the build and give ourselves less work (after months of playing around with it). Turns out this thing is great.
Gaia, for those of you that don’t know, is an open source flash framework that promises to dramatically reduce development time. It does this by taking care of all the niggly challenges in Flash website development like pages, transitions, asset management, structure and deep linking. All those things you spend hours on and which crop up later when Jon from accounts has clicked everything at once. It’s stable and it works and in this project alone it saved us 15-20 hours.
This allowed us to spend more time on animation and touches – which you can see on the the site. – combining fine after effects work and our own finishing touches.
Behind everything we’ve used some nifty programming on the jobs board side to build our own Haversine based postcode distance search, with various other sliders and dropdowns to modify the jobs listings to your needs – go and have a play!. The site also intelligently preloads each page (in the order that they have been most accessed).
