Two New Areas Join Creative Assembly

We are excited to announce that two new areas will be joining our network of Creative Assembly sites: Somerset and Swindon.

For those of you who are not familiar with Creative Assembly, it is an online tool developed by us, in collaboration with Torbay Council, to connect creative, cultural and arts businesses and individuals with each other and their customers. They use the online hub to network, share knowledge, showcase their work & products, and reach new customers and consumers. Creative Torbay and Creative West Sussex have been running successfully for some time now, getting thousands of hits per month.

Assembly Studios in the News: Property Week

Here is one of our images in action, doing what they do best: showing a scheme off to its best advantage. This image was a verifed view, so it was used for both planning and marketing purposes.

Assembly Studios.com Goes Live!

There comes a time in every website’s life when it’s time for a refresh. That time arrived for us several months ago. We get a lot of compliments on our site, but we felt collectively that it was time to move on. Our new website is, much like us, all about the work. Visually, it’s quite a departure from our slick, black look of old: neutral backgrounds and simple, well designed menus ensure that our portfolio is always the main focus. Here are a few additional features that make our new website cool:

• The site uses a fluid layout, which means that it displays equally well across desktop browsers and mobile devices (useful since an increasing number of our visitors access the site from smart phones, iPads, and the like).

• Even non-Flash users will be able to see animated content and galleries thanks to our standards compliant HTML/CSS and Javascript (this makes for better SEO too…)

• Lots of great new work. We hope you like it!

Here’s a link to the new site – we’d love to get your opinion: www.assemblystudios.com

Drop us an email at daniela@assemblystudios.com to share your views. So, if that gives you food for thought, and you’re interested in refreshing your own website, give us a call. We’d love to discuss your requirements! 020 7426 2080

Flights of Fancy

We’ve been working with Abu Dhabi Airports Company for a while now and we were thrilled when they asked us to create a promotional film that they could use at exhibitions and events to educate viewers about its corporate arm. The film focuses specifically on the five airports ADAC owns and operates, its subsidiaries, and its customer services brands. Our brief was to present this information in an engaging way and our resulting piece is a visually rich blend of mediums, from photography and typography to animation and motion graphics.
