What an interesting time I had last week at The Children’s Media Conference in beautiful sunny Sheffield.
The keynote speech by Henry Winkler blew me away. I had no idea about his struggles with dyslexia or being accepted by his parents. I didn’t know about his advocacy work for children and I certainly didn’t know that [...]
It’s been a little too long since I blogged, but blimey it’s been busy!
I’ve been wrapped up with completing our pitch to the BBC for the @North project. The team have been working on consecutive projects for another large broadcasting company which we’re very pleased with. We’re working on an augmented reality project. We won [...]
Well, it has been a year (almost to the day) since we moved in to The Electric Works and we like to keep things fresh. We’re not moving too far this time – actually just in to the office next door. It’s approximately 1 meter door to door so hopefully it won’t take us too [...]
Maybe it’s the time of year but we’ve really been feeling the love recently.
Last Friday I attended We Love Technology which kicked of Sheffield’s lovebytes festival this year and I came away from it all giddy with techno joy. There was lots of talk about a convergence of ideas between the many different fields of design, craft, diy [...]
Over the holidays and in the last few weeks Tim and I have been putting the finishing touches to our business plan. It’s something that we’ve only ever got halfway through and have been meaning to finish for ages.
Two things finally kicked us in to gear. The first being that while the business is doing [...]
Hello Team Cooper blog, its been a while, I’m sorry but we’ve been really busy. The launch of Beastie Burgers did exactly what we needed it to do – it generated a lot of interest and ultimately has won us some top new clients. Beasties has had over a million plays now and is proving to be [...]
Amazingly, it’s now been just over six months since we moved in to Electric Works which is weird because it still feels like we only just moved in. I guess thats because the building is still so shiny and new. That and the fact we’ve been pretty busy with various projects and bringing up our two [...]
I spent last week testing our game, Beastie Burgers, and working on the release plan. I’ve really enjoyed playing it and can’t wait to get on with the launch. I’ve written my first ever press release, with a little help from Google, I’m hoping it hits the mark. I’d love to pay someone to do it [...]
… although as it’s September it feels a little like going back to school after the summer holidays.
Important things out the way first, the new addition to our team at home, Kirsty, was born a little later than expected, but all was good and she’s now happily joining her brother at nursery 2 days a [...]
Woohoo! It’s official, we are moving into Electric Works.
We um’d and err’d about it for quite a while, but in the end we decided to give it a shot on the basis that we think the building is cool as fudge.
We’ll be moving in on the 1st April (No really) and I’ll post some pictures [...]
