Pull a cracker with Made

The Made Media office will close on Christmas Day and reopen on January 4 2010.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at Made.

Brand Challenge Made Good

We’ve just updated BCMG’s website to bring it inline with their new brand. You have never seen so many social media widgets in one place. Hope you like it!

Made Media appointed to Visit Birmingham Digital Account

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been appointed to develop and extend the Visit Birmingham website on behalf of Marketing Birmingham. As part of the new website design, we’ll be adding a bunch of web 2.0 friendly features including an events calendar, directory and Google-maps mash-up.

Read the press release for the details, and watch this space for developments.

Volunteers Wanted for Usability Study

Made Media is looking for volunteers for web-based usability research on Monday 30 March between 12 noon and 9pm in central Birmingham. The session would last for one hour and volunteers will be given a gift voucher up to the value of £75 to be used during research for their participation.

If you are interested, please call 0844 581 1374 to register your interest. The closing date for registration is Wednesday 25 March. The selected participates will be contacted on Thursday 26 March to confirm availability and timings.

Make Us Laugh!

I say, I say I say . . . For every jocular comment posted on this thread today, we’ll send a £5 donation over to Comic Relief.

So send us your funnies, or not as the case may be.
We can be the judge of that.

In the spirit of the event, sarcastic comments about other peoples’ gags count.

Go on, dig into your inner Tarbuck.

Too busy to blog

It has been pointed out to us by clients, colleagues and friends alike that it’s a little perturbing to find belated Christmas greetings at the top of our website. “What happened?”, “Did Made Media get credit-crunched?”, “Is Santa your only remaining client?”, they cry.

Fear not. Made is still very much alive and kicking, and Santa is taking a well-earned rest. The truth is, we’re busier than ever. Too busy to blog about it. We’ve been working on a few meaty projects since the new year, and the fruits of our labour will be appearing right here very shortly. In the meantime, we were invited to an unprecedented number of competitive pitches this month. And we’re happy to say that we won quite a lot. It’s been a massive culture change at Made; the regular barking of ‘Always Be Closing’, bulk deliveries of spivvy suits and the programmers’ whiteboard swapped-out for a gargantuan sales-chart…

The contracts are still being worked out, so we’ll announce them when the time is right, but we’re definitely looking forward to an exciting and busy spring. Then maybe things will get back to normal around here.

Banging The Drum

We are proud to launch the latest release of The Drum’s website today. The Drum was the first black, British arts centre and puts on an exciting and varied programme of events.

Hello Digital

Say Hello to the Midlands first digital festival, Hello Digital. A weekend of robotics, illuminations, animations, digital film, music and games for people of all ages.
