We have just been appointed by Modern Water plc to produce their 2009 Annual Report and Accounts.

Modern Water are a young and exciting company developing a portfolio of world-leading water technologies that help to address the global problems of fresh water availability and the treatment and disposal of wastewater.

We’re really excited to not only be appointed to work on a new project for a new client but also to be involved in such an interesting and important business sector.

We’re pleased to announce that our digital work with Advent Capital (Holdings) plc has been shortlisted in the Investor Relations Society Best Practice Awards 2009 for Best-practice corporate website 2009 within the Small Cap & AIM category.

The Awards will be held on 26 November but regardless of the outcome I’m sure it’ll be a good night for all involved. We’ll let you know how we get on…

We were appointed last year to work with Afren plc on their Annual Report and Accounts – in addition to the annual and interim reports, we were also commissioned to design and build a new corporate website which launched this week.

The site has an underlying bespoke CMS which provides the Afren team with a powerful and easy to use interface to manage the whole site, including an integrated HTML email database and mailing editor.

We have just finished designing the Summer Edition of Business at Oxford magazine which focuses on the current state of the financial markets as well as featuring its feature content. It will soon be posted up on the Saïd Business School website and can be downloaded here, along with previous editions we have designed.

We have just completed another annual report which mailed last week for Ariana plc a gold exploration and development company focused on Turkey. The report works hard by clearly communicating the businesses strategy, mission and market outlook in addition to the operational and financial review of the business over the past 12 months. As well as the obvious design and project management, we also managed the pre- and on-press print, mailing and distribution.

No sooner have we finished the 2008 Annual Report and Accounts for Advent Capital (Holdings) PLC and the first of their quarterly reports is due. Continuing the look and feel of the 2008 annual, the March interim has recently mailed with the next report not far away for their June quarter results.

We were appointed towards the end of last year to work with Afren plc on their investor relations communications. Their annual report recently mailed and we are finalising their new corporate website and Content Management System which will launch in the next few weeks.

We were appointed by Advent Capital back in October 2008 to undertake a brand refresh and implementation across a broad range of stakeholder communications. Our work included an overall brand audit resulting in development work to the core identity, stationery, investor relations materials, website, marketing literature, signage and promotional items.

It’s been a great project to work on with a truly enthusiastic and co-operative client making it a truly collaborative and successful piece of work for all parties.

We have recently produced a range of materials from stationery and HTML emails to marketing comms. and a corporate brochure for the Institute for Science, Innovation and Society.

It’s been a busy few months working with Saïd Business School across a number of communications for both the school and its research centres, with Annual Reports for the BT Centre for Major Programme Management and the Centre for Corporate Reputation being two examples of recent projects.
