YouInvent site goes live  Sunday, 28 June 2009

YouInvent, offering sports tours to clubs, schools and university teams throughout the UK, has launched its new site designed and developed by Bright Light.

The site integrates social media, blogging and site content, which means that new content is automatically posted to facebook and twitter.

One exciting element of the project was the development and promotion of a facebook page which had over 100 fans on launch day. This now distributes news and articles from the YouInvent site to fans automatically.

Mike Edwards, Director at YouInvent comments: "Bright Light provided an excellent service both in terms of web design and ideas for developing our web presence. Integrating a facebook page rather than just setting up a group means we can keep in touch with all our tour attendees and organisers inside their own facebook news feed. The page has been a huge success and it's fairly easy to get tour attendees to sign up for general news and more specific news on their tour - plus it's a great way to share photos, videos and comments."

We're looking forward to helping YouInvent take their sports tour success and online presence even further in the near future.

Bing Bing  Saturday, 13 June 2009

So Microsoft have launched their new search engine, Bing, and it has some features that sound really good, (we love recommendations whether flight prices will go up or down, for example).

And now they've started marketing the search engine by email. But what's the email like? Surely Microsoft will produce something that uses all the best practice out there for a global campaign around their new investment?

We're unsure, not having access to the results. But let's assume Microsoft did carry out a decent amount of testing on an email going to so many recipients. What's their email look like? All the so called best practice put together or something different?

The first thing you notice of course is the sender and subject, "Bing Search Team" and "A new search engine is coming - Bing". Very little Microsoft branding. Is the email only aimed at those who have heard about Bing already?

Looking into the email, one of the first features we noticed, as would any recipient, is that the entire upper section is created with images, because you can't see anything until you turn images on. This is definitely not best practice according to any email expert out there, especially when your headline text is part of that image.

The second feature of the email, which we really like, is the length. It's just long enough to generate some interest, then it stops and gets you to click through. No more.

But the bit we love the most is the use of the search box - it's almost impossible to stop yourself from clicking on it to try to search for something. It's obviously not a data entry field which would generate problems for most email users, but merely an image linking through to the site.

Overall - aside from the preview pane issue we think it's a well constructed communication, and maybe Microsoft tested that issue and chose to go for the images - which would just go to prove that every email marketing campaign needs to be judged just by its own merits.

It's been six months in the making but finally, after a whole load of agents, solicitors an removals men, our new Bristol office is open.

There are still some rough edges, like the yet to be installed meeting room with 50" plasma (for meetings not watching the football), but we would like to welcome clients and prospects alike into our new creative hub in Bristol.

Look forward to seeing you soon!
