As we kick of the new financial year and shrug off the blues of the last year, it is great to be able to update you on some of the things going on at Blink Interactive.
The first thing I have to do is welcome Kip Hughs to our small team. Kip joins as a developer with a nice set of skills and talents that he has developed over years of working in the industry as both part of major development projects and freelance work for American clients once he moved to NZ. I am sure that the new thinking he brings will compliment the wonderful approach that Hesky has developed to our work in the past two years.
Many of you will know that we don’t employ designers on our team, preferring to work with designers who bring their own unique design skills to each job that we collaboratively work on. Over the years we have worked with Ruth at Wandering Stars and Shane at Creative Organisim. Recently we started working with the design team at Media 41 and look forward to helping them bring some of their client projects to life on the web.
As well as expanding the team, we have moved our team to the Ironbank building in K’Road. The small group that we operated with has joined The Business Dojo, a collective of small businesses who compliment each other. The shift is an exciting change and we are looking forward to some great creative stimulus with the extra people in our environment.
And then there are our client projects. The team have been working on a number of current client projects, updating and making improvements. We have been helping clients with their social media strategy and starting a number of new assignments with new clients. A nice simple job was created for Greggs and went live last week. Of course you can keep up with the projects on our Blink website and our facebook fan page.
We have several other plans on the drawing board for Blink during the coming year, including more in the Social Media Strategy arena with links to a new partner - Buzz Numbers. More on these items as the come to fruition.
As you look forward with some excitement to the year ahead, make sure you contact us when you need to upgrade any aspect of your web site and interactive strategy. And of course, if you hear of someone that wants some web work done, please feel free to refer them to us.
