To use digital media requires a good knowledge and
understanding of digital design and production, not just
from the creative and technical perspective but also how
their application can assist a specific company or
organisation. We feel that all aspects
of a digital strategy need careful attention if an
organization is going to maximise their spend. Our work as
consultants and producers includes:
*360 degree production
360 degree production is about approaching a brief with
the bigger picture in mind and developing solutions that
cover all aspects. Our network or "consortium" approach
allows us to do this without cutting corners as well as
reducing cost.
*Content strategy
This refers to what an organization
publishes rather than how. Key messages
can become lost in the digital medium and it is imperitive
that the overall outcome remains clear with a clearly
focused content strategy.
*Digital strategy
and planning
This refers to what the principle focus
of the web presence is and what the time-specifc goals
aims are. This can involve social media, hosting, creating
an in-house team or the use of open source platforms.
*Creative direction
Creative direction covers everything from Broadcast
quality animation to UI creation to brand creation and
training, Essentially it's about clarifying the message
and then communicating that message clearly.
*Innovation and creativity
workshops
We feel that innovation and creativity should form part of
any organization's rationale and strategy
- we help organisations foster and encourage creative
processes and methodologies internally, rather than
relying on expensive 3rd party agencies.
Our design methodology is based around a fairly simple idea: that in order to fully deliver value you must first fully understand the needs. expectations and goals of your client. This may sound like an oversimplification but we feel that this is how strong and effective digital solutions are created.
We also believe in proposing strategies that continue on
past the initial delivery, so content strategy, social
media, mobile appliations and online reputation management
all feature in our portfolio.
*Case study:
One of our clients was looking to create an online
repository system for a massive back catalogue of
multi-media content, We conducted a small scale project to
help clarify the needs and aims of the system and also to
propose an interim "proof of concept" model that would
form the basis for the main development.
In summary:
Instead of starting a major development untested project
with an open ended budget our client now has a clear idea
of what works for their organization and
how it will fit into the bigger picture.
