First Fridays

2009-06-02T15:33:00.004+01:00

Piers' recent work on behalf of the International Fund Raising Consultancy (IFC), a sub-brand called First Fridays, prompted this remark from John Baguley the IFC's founder:

"Piers is a genius and you can quote me on that. He has created some stunning products for us that perfectly capture the spirit of First Fridays which is different from the IFC itself, more fun and light hearted.

First Fridays have taken off and we have both a full house at The Hub - Kings Cross every first Friday of the month from 2.00 - 5.00 and a budding Facebook group 'First Friday fundraisers' from around the world."

John Baguley - International Fundraising Consultancy

John Baguley has been a long standing client for many of us. First at the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture and subsequently, via the IFC, for many other charities and not for profit organisations. We owe him a lot for the interesting and worthwhile projects he has invited us to work on over the years.

New Moon

2009-05-22T12:21:00.006+01:00

Mike had been working with production company New Moon for many years by the time they shot to fame creating the films for London's 2012 Olympic bid.

Having helped in a small way on the second of those films, Mike was much more involved in New Moon's work for the Russian city of Sochi, in its bid to host the 2014 Winter Games. Although Sochi began as the underdog, it ended up victorious, ensuring a clean Olympic sweep for New Moon.

"Mike's collaborations with New Moon have continued to be creatively and personally satisfying. He's thoughtful, inventive, diligent and laid-back - all qualities that make him a creative worthy of recommendation to even the most demanding Client!"

Caroline Rowland, Founder and Executive Creative Director, New Moon

The London School for Small Business

2009-04-28T13:05:00.001+01:00

We've known Lisa and Peter for a good few years before they became clients. I've personally attended a number of their live seminars and been happy to recommend them to others. When they approached us at the tail end of 2008 with plans for an online version of their successful 'Blueprint for business success' training program I was delighted to be involved.

Now that the project is live I was also pleased to receive the following testimonial:

"We wanted to write and say a huge thank you for all your hard work in launching The London School for Small Business website.

We are delighted with the results and we know we would never have got this far without all your help, advice and expertise.

This was always going to be a difficult project, limited budgets and an untested market. From day one you have helped us use our money wisely, spending where absolutely necessary and providing alternatives when needed.

It worked so well because we were able to trust you both implicitly and this makes for a very relaxed and stress free working relationship.

The quality of the work you have delivered in the time scales and with the budgets available we believe are of the highest standard.

We were also heavily reliant on your knowledge of this market and the latest technology available. We appreciate all your patience in educating us when required and taking time to explain the different elements, so we were able to make the best possible decisions.

We feel the website we have and it's content is above and beyond the brief we gave to you. Our decision to continue working with you in the future and to hand over day-to-day development to you, we hope demonstrates our confidence in you both.

As most businesses are dependent on word of mouth and recommendations, we are delighted to feel absolutely secure in recommending you to our clients and most treasured contacts."

All the best
Lisa Temperley and Pete Goonery, Directors

The London School For Small Business Ltd

We really appreciate it when clients do go out of their way to spread the word. It's not every day that we get such glowing reports. Indeed many companies fight shy of endorsing their suppliers however happy they are with the work produced.

Think Tank Media

2009-04-13T12:38:00.003+01:00

Mike not only wote the new website for Think Tank, a print and production specialist, he also used the opportunity to help the client develop a tone of voice much more in keeping with its spirit. The results are now on show at www.thinktankmedia.co.uk.

"Mike has been fantastic to work with. He has managed to get the balance right on our site, effortlessly mixing humour with professionalism. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mike to anyone in need of wordsmith brilliance!"

Niki Deighton, Founder, Think Tank Media

Africa Practice

2007-06-21T21:41:00.000+01:00

Africa Practice - the specialist strategic communications and investment publisher - happened to share the same building as us. We heard through the grapevine that they were looking to recruit a designer to support them with their various publishing activities but in the meantime we offered to help fill the immediate vacuum on a project relating to China's presence in Africa.

"The Chinese are making great strides into Africa, and this report makes sense of a complex situation with concise writing and clear design. Due to its ever-changing nature, the research is being continually updated and the report had to be completed swiftly to create an accurate snapshot: the team worked well together to produce an excellent and impactful report, which will contribute greatly to the ongoing debate about the Chinese Influence in Africa."

James Laing, Africa Practice

The Last 4 Feet

2007-06-15T21:58:00.000+01:00

The Last 4 Feet was set up as a specialist Point-of-Purchase (POP) division of SMP the established printing group. We were responsible for giving the new division a website that helped set themselves apart from the more traditional associations and iconography of print shops.

"We engaged David and Associates following a comprehensive selection process, as we wanted a web designer who both understood our business and brand values as well as being very creative. The group's experience with other clients such as Breed, IBM and BAA certainly offered a pedigree we could trust, and they have really delivered. I believe the site not only communicates our USPs, but also sets us apart from other POP businesses in terms of look and feel - our fresh "agency style" approach really comes across well."

Neil Johnson, Business Unit Director of the last 4 feet

In an unusual reversal of roles the site eventually became the main group site for SMP. We owe a lot to Neil for the successful outcome of the project and he has since gone on to even bigger and better things.
