Hard work pays dividends

Posted by Andrew Grant on Sunday 25 Jul 2010, 16:26:00

I remember a taxi driver once saying to me, you'll never meet someone that works hard and doesn't have money. I'm not sure I agree totally. The evening standard is running a 'end poverty' campaign for London - and it seems there's plenty of people down here that get up at 4am to start work finishing their third job at 10pm just to make ends meet. Whenever I feel hard done by: perhaps an unrealistic target or a series of late nights to meet a deadline, I always think of those who have to work much harder and longer than me, and it puts things back into perspective.

But the taxi driver was right in the sense that you reap what you sew. Over the last ten months we've busted every nut we can to increase our pipeline, deliver projects with ever reducing budgets and increasing expectations, sign up new clients and evolve our business model.

This week saw a key number of Nation1 projects go live.

Glasgow's Style Mile i-phone app launched. The success was instant. Massive PR coverage around the globe and awesome feedback from users, partners, press and stakeholders.

We launched the summer campaign for CityInn - a nifty wee site that helps city visitors discover the hidden gems as recommended by the locals.

We also launched the UK's best saver account with Bank of Baroda. This product offers the best interest rates in the UK and is available through moneysupermarket.com

And the future's bright too. With Style Mile already getting stuck in to phase2 of their i-phone app and an amazing new win for the London team thanks to Morston Assets (founded by Tom Harrison and Sir Tom Farmer) to property developer behind the Yours Networks concept which sets out to revolutionise the way we live, work and play. Watch this space.

Finally: we've started the planning for our annual and now legendary Halloween Ball. Theme again will be advertising legends and we're back at the same venue SWG3, however we've got bigger (much bigger) prizes, bigger (much bigger) sound and light and bigger (much bigger) capacity.
