Bluesoup enter the World Erg Challenge

Posted on: March 7th, 2012 by Ben No Comments

Concept2′s one of our favourite clients and they make a mean rowing machine. So when we heard about the World Erg Challenge what could we do but enter!? They’ve kindly lent us 2 machines and the challenge is to see how far we can row between the 15th march and 15th April…compared to teams from all over the world.

Sounds OK heh? Well to put it into perspective, with the exception of Ben, the rest of the team have either never used a rowing machine or in the case of Steve and Jus, their use of the C2 has been at best limited. And now we’re in a competition with rowing clubs and gyms across the globe. what were we thinking?!

Training starts today, competition starts in a week. We’ll keep you posted.

Bluesoup unveil mobile website for travel client

Posted on: March 6th, 2012 by Ben No Comments

With the rapid growth of mobile web browsing on smart phones (already 10% of all searches) we’re pleased to announce the launch of a mobile site for Farm & Cottage Holidays. The site takes count of the fact that users browse “with purpose” when mobile and as a result we’ve focussed on sales and conversions, leaving behind some of the prettier desktop styling. Buttons are larger to reflect the way users browse – with their thumbs and content has been stripped right back.

Thanks to the site, mobile bounce rate is down, time on site is up for mobile users, and most importantly conversions from mobile phones has leapt dramatically.

Bluesoup to design new identity for Bideford!

Posted on: February 21st, 2012 by Ben No Comments

Bluesoup have been appointed to develop a new brand identity for Bideford, our home town. As well as creating a new logo, we’ll also be working with the Town Council and Chamber of Commerce to  create a marketing strategy that will evolve as the plan for the town takes shape over the coming years. “We’re really excited to be working on this brief”, commented Steve Tricker, Creative Director. “There’s something special about working on your own home town and it will be great to see the work come to fruition over time”.

Concept2 & Wattbike London Event

Posted on: January 26th, 2012 by Ben No Comments

Oh what a night! Bluesoup negotiated a deal with Canary Wharf magazine which saw 50 lucky readers invited to an exclusive city bar for a night of fitness & canapes…not two words usually seen together.

Revellers had the chance to win a signed GB Rowing one-piece lycra by posting the fastest time over 250m on the Concept2 indoor rower. If that wasn’t enough they had the opportunity to analyse their cycling style and see the effect of improvements before their eyes thanks to the Wattbike. And to top off the evening Mark Hunter, current Olympic Lightweight double sculler and 2011 & 2010 World champion brought his medals for all to see.

Quite an evening – and a few product sales to boot. Happy days.

 

Bluesoup to develop new prospectus for Great Torrington School

Posted on: January 20th, 2012 by Ben No Comments

Great Torrington School have asked Bluesoup to develop a new prospectus for the school. Our fresh thinking stood out against other agencies who specialised in school projects and when coupled with our flexible, collaborative approach Bluesoup was the obvious choice. There’s a lot to be done in a short window…not least the school uniform is changing later this year which will require an 11th hour photo shoot when the uniform arrives.

Farm & Cottage Holidays enjoy TV success

Posted on: January 10th, 2012 by Ben No Comments

We’re proud to reveal the TV ads which we’ve been working on for some time, and which went live on Boxing Day 2011. The brief was a challenging one; fun, approachable, holiday excitement and unique. We hope you’ll agree we succeeded.

The ads are running in the Bristol area, and early indications are that it’s a blinding success with bookings up disproportionally in this area. A fantastic result for us and the client…. Watch this space as there are plans for more ads later this year.
