As my first glimpse of a working environment it was brilliant that I managed to come here. I am in year 10 and had already done one week of work experience in a gym before this but it didn’t compare to this. I have taken G.C.S.E graphics but it doesn’t compare to this. I was unsure about coming here because I was told that all I’d be doing would be making cups of tea, but my experience on the first day I was welcomed and everybody was really friendly and had a great sense of humour. As I am only in year 10, I have had no experience working with a Mac before but I was quickly shown the ropes. (more…)

Press Coverage-tastic!
It’s been brilliant to see Studio North getting some great press coverage over the last few weeks! We’ve been working hard to publicise some fantastic new business wins like the National Muslim Women’s Advisory Group and the exciting new jewellery line from G McKenzie – the guys behind the world famous SEVEN label – with articles appearing in Crain’s Manchester Business, The Drum and How-Do just for starters!
We’ve also been called upon to comment on a whole range of topical marketing issues by the media. Allie Johns (SN’s brand vision & strategy bod) was interviewed by EN for a feature in last month’s issue, she’ll also be in the June edition of North West Business Insider chatting about iconic North West brands and she even had a rant in the Manchester Evening News for its Media Matters section- she been a busy girl!…Nick Wright (our creative director) has also shared his wisdom on ‘Coronation Street – the brand’ for Crain’s!
If anyone’s visiting the Studio North offices then have a chat with one of the team who will be more than happy to dig the press coverage folder out so you can have a scan through all the articles! But in the meantime, here’s just a taster….

Is your website working hard enough?
It’s unbelievable really to think it’s almost ten years now since the days of the dotcom bubble era. One only has to survey the Internet landscape in 2009 to realise that we have probably witnessed the most rapid technological advances in the history of mankind this past decade. Compare the fortunes of Amazon and Google with the misery of Boo.com (who?) and Etoys.com (eh?). But ten years on from the days when nobody really knew if the Internet was going to be a genuine long term money spinner, how hard does your website currently work for you? For every business whose website labours on completely lost in the search engines and invisible from it’s client base due to a lack of effective marketing strategy there is another out there reaping the rewards, probably producing stunning returns on investment.

Touched a local nerve
Interesting advert in the Manchester Evening News. They obviously don’t believe too much in the local PR talent do they?
