It’s that time of year again where we shut down the office so we can welcome Santa, open our prezzies and pile on several pounds.

With that in mind and the festive season – complete with a heavy sprinkling of snow – in full swing, we want to wish all of our customers and everyone we have worked with this year a very merry Christmas.

We will be closed for our festive break on the 25th, 26th and 1st of January but available by email and phone for the rest of the time.

We brushed up on our marketing skills with the region’s elite.

As well as giving us the chance to network with companies from across the North East, the Marketing The Art Of conference gave us the chance to pick up tips on the best ways to get our products and services out there to the public.

The event, at The Sage Gateshead, hosted talks and workshops from the likes of Herb Kim, founder of Thinking Digital Conference, Rob Lawson, editor of the Sunderland Echo, and Philip Knowles, of the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
