ARE YOU GOING TO INVITE ME IN OR WHAT?



Ignition took delivery of their latest Uber designed website this week. Vampire Rain is the name...and...erm...vampires and rain is what you get. Our very own Van Helsing and Jonathan Harker, Mark and Mark have done another top job recreating the atmosphere of the Vampire Rain title throughout the website. Handled by our very own dearly departed Jonty, our interactive website allows you to explore the city featured in the game and bump off a pointy toothed fiend or two. The children of the night...what sweet websites they make.

99 PROBLEMS BUT A PITCH AIN'T ONE.



Hip, Hip, Midway! We've won another pitch! This time it's a heavy hitting title for the guys at Midway. We're not strictly speaking supposed to talk about this one but lets just say some famous super heroes are going to beat the living be-jesus out of a bunch of equally famous franchise fighters and vice versa. Well done Rob and Rich for pulling on the lycra body suits and winning this one in the name of justice and world peace.

IT IS WITH HEAVY HEARTS...



It is with heavy hearts we announce the departure of Jonty. The Uber stalwart is moving to pastures new. In a complete change of career, he is leaving us to do something thoroughly worthwhile for the people of Sheffield, working as a mentor to new businesses in the community. For all his hard work on Ignition, Setanta and Consort amongst others we salute you Jonty. Come back and see us with Jonty Jnr when the nipper arrives.

MOORES! MOORES! MOORES! HOW WE DO LIKE IT! HOW WE DO LIKE IT!



Hoorah! We've won a project pitch for Moores Kitchens. Aimed at the house building market, our stylish brochure and range identifier was designed by our very Martin 'Barry Scott' Davis. The brochure has gone to print this week and should be in stores very soon indeed. BANG! AND IT'S GONE!

OUR NEW HR HIRING....



....hasn't settled into the Uber way of working quite as easily as we would have liked. So, Alexandra will be leaving us at the end of this week to pursue a career in counselling.
We wish her all the best.

YOU'RE HIRED!



Another day. Another newb. Alan Baker is our latest hiring and joins us from Think in Leeds. Our smart new suit will be working on Ignition and Secantor whilst chasing new business with Amy. 

FRIENDS REUNITED.



A big Uber welcome to Amy Elton who joins us as Brand Co-ordinator. Many of us already know Amy for the sterling work she did at top production house VTR North. She'll be out and about scouting for new clients over the coming months so if you see her please say, 'Hello'.

Actually please say, 'Hello, would you like a brand spanking new £7million pound account to work on?'

DRUMMING GORILLA. FAT ORANGE MAN. BOZ EYED SURFER.


Once in a while, an advert comes along that redefines the way we look at TV advertising. Cadbury, Tango, Guinness...and now Rainham Sheds can be added to that list. A dead cert shoe-in for a digital pencil if ever there was one. Make sure you have the sound turned up to experience this in all its glory.
