I live in Brighton and NixonMcInnes is based close to the Brighton Pier.
Each and everyday I take a wander along the seafront and today was by no means an exception.
Even though a storm appeared to be in full swing, the rain and the wind didn’t put me off in the slightest. Gusts of wind pushed me back but I kept on walking toward the seafront and when I got there, an amazing spectacle of nature was taking place: massive waves were breaking below the Brighton Pier.

The new age of online marketing success is often about sharing your knowledge and personalising your offering.
With this in mind we invited some of our lovely clients and friends along to Brighton Marina on Friday to share our words of wisdom on the topic and indeed learn about their own experiences and top tips.
Online marketing is transforming the balance and focus of marketing budgets all over the world and if yours doesn’t reflect that then “Come on - catch up!”
We got togeather at the Alias Hotel Brighton and talked through the commercial benefits, core principles and some great examples of business blogging, online social networking, podcasting, killer content, email marketing and online branding.
We got excited, shared some knowledge and helped some great people identify ways to kick new life into their own online strategy.
To see us all in action have a look at our photos on our Flickr account.
If you missed out and would like to come along to future events then drop me an email at jo@nixonmcinnes.co.uk - we’d love to see you.

An interactive and design led website for parents and children to use together for learning and play
The Nixon McInnes team are incredibly excited to launch today an impressive addition to our website portfolio in the children’s TV channel site Jim Jam.
Jim Jam is a cable TV channel which has launched in its first territory, Italy, with plans to roll-out across Europe. Hence why the site is in Italian!
The team has designed and built two sites for Jim Jam. The first site was a password protected press site made live in advance of the main channel and site launch to promote and manage media contact. This static HTML microsite was developed to tight deadlines to allow press release and media pack downloads.
The second and main site option is a bespoke design led site with interactive games created using Flash animation. The activities, colour and general vibrancy of the site makes it a welcome opportunity to demonstrate the creative design strength at Nixon McInnes.
The main site details the TV channel schedule which the client is able to populate using an EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) plug-in. The home page can also be updated to highlight changing channel promotions or seasonal themes.
View the Jim Jam site here.
Why not try your hand at the games – more fun than that report you should be writing!

Today the new website that our strategic partner 48 Fitzroy (who are also based in Sussex) commissioned us to design went live:
http://www.48fitzroy.co.uk/
The website is very different from many in our portfolio, being the first that we have ever produced solely in Macromedia Flash, the well-known ‘animation’ software package. As a technology-neutral web agency, that’s a really important and positive step for us.
Using Flash as a technology for website design has some real strengths.
Our colleagues at 48 Fitzroy - being superb designers - like the very specific controls that Flash gives them over the look of the website that appears on the user’s screen.
The guys at 48 Fitzroy also had a clear vision for the animated ‘transition’ between screens: you can see that the website picks out key words from client testimonials as you navigate around the website.
As with all technologies Flash does have some fairly major weaknesses too. But we won’t take the sheen off today’s good news by dwelling on those just now!
So check out 48 Fitzroy - they do some great design and branding work.
