We’re pleased to have helped out our friends at über kitchens. They’ve now got a website that’s as good as their product.

Take a look at a few screenshots below:

Eco-Friendly Bamboo stands

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing renewable plants and can be harvested every year without destroying green forestry. Due to popular demand (slight exaggeration) Bamboo pull up stands are now available to replace previous wood or metal stands. ‘Shoot’ us an email for a price or more information.

Creative Review Photography Annual 2010

As we’re developing our in-house photography section, we thought it might be nice to enter the Creative Review Annual Photography competition. We have some great concepts, and will be submitting our best to the Personal/Non-Published category.

The closing date is the 16th July. Fingers crossed!

We’re proud to welcome…

a global sports brand as a new customer. We’d like to tell you more, but we’re working under a non-disclosure agreement. This is something we do for a number of clients to protect sensitive and or highly commercial information. We’ve loved every minute of working with a fab brand and a great team. Warning, this blog post will now self-destruct.

Colour trends for 2010

In the latest edition of TONES by PANTONE, they’ve highlighted two of the hottest colours of 2010.

Turquoise Goes Global

Long associated with the talismanic jewelry of the American Southwest and tropical Caribbean waters, turquoise suggests journeys both spiritual and physical. In a year when we’d all like to escape, even if only a fantasy, PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise was a natural choice for our Color of the Year 2010.

Turquoise has extended its soothing yet invigorating reach into quite unexpected places this year – from footwear to housewares.

White Hot
White in design has often been a tenet of minimalism or a driver of simplification and cost reduction. But today’s white represents quite the opposite: expansive magical thinking, openness, unlimited possibility. As we enter an era of optimism, the white page, the blank canvas, the clean slate – all of these connote a sense of new beginnings and reflect a new open mindset and a world of creative opportunity.

Moreover, our new desire for white reflects our emerging need for purity and clarity, to grasp what is crucial and necessary, to conduct a moral inventory and rethink the essence of life. The new white gives us both the terrain of unlimited possibility and a compass for personal navigation. It’s no wonder that today’s architects, interior decorators and industrial, automotive and fashion designers all seem to be on the white path once again.

Staff recognition

Today we’ve just completed a satisfying piece of recognition branding for a large UK retailer. For most of us, there’s little time to say ‘thanks’. We hope our work might allow people to show their gratitude for colleagues and spread a bit of happiness. Small and simple things often mean a lot.

Conferences

We’re currently working on an exciting new conference format.

Last week we had a great day with a possible partner. Their technology and our ideas might well combine to create something that’s never been done before.

In addition to supporting events by providing facilitation and content, we’re looking at adding some new technology (we’re talking more than just tablets) and delivering the day via a whole new vehicle. Watch this space.

Process driven team

We’re proud to say our ISO 9001 registration has been renewed for another year.

It’s an accurate reflection of the way the entire Intermedia team go about their work and encompasses our design, manufacture and management of highly effective internal and external communication solutions for our clients.

If you’d like to see more of what we do, including photos of our rural Intermedia office, take a look at our Brand Essence © project. To learn how we could capture your own Brand Essence ©, just give us a call on 01794 368925. Contact Intermedia.

Little Book of Comms delivered as if it were The Little Book of Calm

It wasn’t a little book of calm that made its way through our system at great speed – it was one of our favourite clients’ titles – The Little Book of Communication. Typeset and printed in under a week, it sets a new world record for fastest job ever. Truly a team effort.
