On the Move!

December 2011

By: Admin

Ambit creatives are moving on the 19th December to the all new, and suitably serene, location of the Toffee Factory in Newcastle. It looks a little like Charlie's Chocolate Factory from the outside and has lights that synchronise with the Millennium bridge - being situated in the Ouseburn valley within eyeline of the bridge.

All you have to do is head towards our 19th century chimney, which pricks the skyline, and you'll be most welcome for a warm cup of coffee.

Most importantly... we have a new telephone number:

+44 (0) 191 375 9020

...and a new address:

Toffee Factory

Lower Steenbergs Yard

Quayside

Ouseburn

Newcastle upon Tyne

NE6 1LF

Click here for our Christmas greeting

Hope to see you soon!

A big project for us has been a video prog for Fagron. We have dubbed this production into 4 languages so far for use across Europe and South America. Some languages take a little longer to speak, so the edit has to be opened up here and there in a fast programme, but we think we did it rather well.

Blimey Guv'nor!

It was a nice day out. Off to London to do some filming for our client Domotics who have just completed another installation of their 'intelligent housing' system. Domotics does everything you could ever need to be done at the touch of a button....

Tough times demand tough measures. Our client Gainsborough is a world leader in assisted bathing and is doing very well despite the global economic downturn. Sustaining and growing is the name of the game for them and sometimes you have to get creative....

Looking back over 18 months of our past news items, it occurred to us that sometimes the day to day developments can get overlooked in favour of more 'new and exciting news'...

Open for business

That's an odd phrase really isn't it. I mean who exactly isn't open for business? Apparently that's what our dear coalition government wants this country to project. Would have thought it was a given really....

A while back now we did a little job for a new client. They needed a logo and the usual stationary type stuff. The company was a start up but had hit the ground running with work already in the pipeline....

It’s a complicated world. Our client has just bought another company. That company isn’t doing too well but there is a synergy here that means it could do quite nicely in the future. Sorry have to be a bit cryptic as the deal is still being 'smoothed over'...

Tough times and spacemen

These may be austere times but somehow we seem to be busier than ever. With new clients coming on board ranging from pharma to children’s fashion we haven’t had too much time to consider the economic crisis...

Domotics is the name given to intelligent housing systems...you know...the kind we all imagine Bill Gates has in his various abodes - where the lighting system, heating and surround sound etc etc are all connected to...

Not everyone knows what that quote alludes to – but lots of people kind of think they should do. It is in fact a bit of a reference to an Eminem song 'Lose yourself'...

Oiling the wheels of industry

Lots of people's dads 'used to work' in some factory or other, but more often than not, said factory isn't doing business any more.

Anyway that's just to say it's good to work with a company that is still actually involved in making the 'real' rather than the virtual.. stuff that's oily and big.. mans stuff.... well alright, getting carried away now...

This month sees us launching a new website for environmental consultancy SEQM. The new site is powered by a Joomla CMS, so they can now get to grips with their own updating and leave us to do the fun graphics stuff. Yeah well that's the idea...
