You might remember that we blogged a few months ago about the busy time that our sister agencies have been having.  Now that spring has blossomed into summer, the long sunny days have bought with them a whole load of new projects and announcements across our group.

First up: Marlow based packaging agency Holmes and Marchant have unveiled a brand new shiny website which you can check out here. They’ve also been busy recently with the launch of a new design for iconic British water brand Buxton. Find out more here.

Over at full-service digital agency Twentysix, a project for Epson portable projectors has kept them on their toes. The viral is a follow up to the ‘Extreme Gamer’ project that Twentysix produced which generated over a million engagements from the target audience and delivered 9% CPR. You can watch the video here. Twentysix have also recently been appointed by market-leading portrait photography specialists Venture to design, create and maintain a complete online strategy.

The Gate have been very busy too:  Towry, one of the UK’s leading independent wealth advisers, have appointed the London based agency to handle a major advertising campaign following their re-brand from Towry Law. Watch out for the campaign, which is due to launch this Autumn. The agency have also recently opened a brand new Fundraising Direct Marketing Unit in response to demand from clients including The Royal British Legion, Diabetes UK, Crisis and Scope. You can find out more here.

B2B specialists IAS have come up trumps in the global B2B marketing industry awards, the B2 awards, coming home with 7 trophies to add to their cabinet. Well done IAS!

Finally, research agency Illuminas have produced an interesting new white paper on ‘the future of networking’ which explores the rapid growth of enterprise networks within global organisations. You can download the white paper here.

Phew! So much news, and summer’s only just begun!
