It only seems like yesterday... it was a Monday morning, we was sat in our new office with the coffee bubbling away in the corner and Mark said 'we'll, we better get some work in now' and here we are entering into our 10th year.

A massive thank you to all our staff and client over the past 9 years

Happy Birthday Cube!

Quality in everything we do is a 'statement that we use regularly at Cube. It is with this in mind that we are now 100% committed to gaining our ISO:9001 Quality Assurance Accreditation through one of the UK's leading accreditation company's; The UK Accreditation Bureau. This exciting development means that whilst we already employ the most effective quality systems for clients, that these systems will finally be recognised as effectively providing clients with all the quality assurances that they will need. The program of gaining our accreditation has already commenced and we anticipate being able to announce our successful accreditation within the next couple of months.

Watch this space for further information.

At Cube we always relish the opportunity to work on interesting, demanding projects.
And when we were invited to present our ideas on a unique, and somewhat demanding brief for THinK, a Knowsley PCT/Council young persons initiative, we knew we had to come up with something special for the 6 way pitch.
Our solution (which we can\'t show you yet! but will be online in February) had to appeal to a wide range of young people in Knowsley, and surrounding areas, communicating a message of good health and wellbeing, without being patronising.
We are really pleased to be working on this project, and have so far really enjoyed the experience of working with these dedicated young people, and have been really taken back by their enthusiasm and commitment to helping young people in their area.

Adding to our already impressive suite of NHS websites, Cube recently won a competitive pitch to work on the development of HCHS's new website. As always, it's a great pleasure and privilege to work on a health service project, and look for ways to differentiate and implement new and relevant technology for our Health Service clients.

We were exceptionally fortunate recently to be awarded the opportunity to work on the Annual Report for Trafford Council. Usually staid and heavy going, Annual Reports can vex the most creative of agencies, fortunately the brief included the words 'make it fun', and we have. The bright, easy reading approach has made a (usually) heavy going piece, into something that even the most light of readers can appreciat

Cube has recently been busy with legal software giant, LexisNexis. As well as re-launching 3 key packages for the bluechip multinational, and providing creative and new media solutions for a product launch, Cube have also been involved with their upcoming user conference, helping to co-ordinate the marketing and implementation of delegate recruitment via traditional and new media avenues, as well as producing personalised, bespoke delegate information.

Cube Creative, one of the UK's leading specialist NHS Design & Marketing Agencies is currently working with a number of NHS organisations on re-branding projects. Sandwell Mental Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust have been working through a consultation and design process with Cube for over 4 months and are very near to completing their re-branding, as are the provider arm of Liverpool PCT who commissioned Cube to manage their re-branding as well as the organisations website and intranet. Much more recent is the news that North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust have appointed Cube to managed their re-branding process through every stage of creative and stakeholder engagement.

Cube's Managing Director, Mark Frith says,'We are totally committed to delivering a value for money service to all our public sector clients and are extremely proud of our association within NHS Comms right across the entire country.'

How to publish a huge directory of certificates that change on a frequent basis, but need to be up to date and easily accessible by end users, and also function on-line as well as offline.
After much discussion, and deliberation, Cube offered up the solution of an interactive CD, using Flash elements to ease end user navigation, and offering the benefits of massively reduced production costs (less the 10% of the cost of equivelant print costs). The beauty of the solution is that the directory can now be updated quarterly instead of yearly, and actually costs less! As well as reducing the waste and cost of print based solutions.

Being our first NHS client from many years back. And also our preferred charity for our fund raising excursions. We were delighted to be asked recently to look at re-develop and re-design their suite of magazines, and jumped at the opportunity to fulfill their brief to give them a new look and feel. With the last of the 3 quarterly newsletters just delivered we are ecstatic that the projects have been so well received universally at The Christie.

Cube have been fortunate to assist Wigan Council in their recent re-branding of corporate and social communications. The new range of literature will be rolling out over the upcoming months and reflects this modern, innovative council. The new style will also be used through a range of other social and corporate marketing material in the upcoming months.

Also we have recently been awarded the rebranding for Rochdale Council and various publications for Trafford Council.

Cube have recently completed the design and production for the media rights catalogue for one of the Londons leading media company's; DCD Media. The catalogue is instrumental in enabling DCD to market and sell its music and entertainment rights for world famous artists and US and UK programmes. Cube's creative solution for the catalogue, not only hit the right note but was also instrumental in assisting DCD whilst attending the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

Cube have recently completed the re-design of the Calderdale NHS website. After a competitive pitch and tender process against 2 other agencies, Cube won the project, offering the experience and creativity that would guarantee delivery of the project on a tight lead time. Working in conjunction with Calderdales Health Infomatics Service the project went from pitch to handover on time, over a 4 week schedule.

Cube have produced for Chesterfield based Realstone, the recent commissioning of www.realstone-facades.com went live this month. Promoting the quarry companies range of rainscreen solutions proved an interesting challenge, as we had to work with the existing brand but also portray the hi-tech nature of the product range. After initial scoping the project went live after a 6 week development period.

We would like to thank everyone for their support over the past year and we look forward to working with you during 2009. Thanks Again!

Their brief was complex, given they work in the complicated industry of fulfilment, which needed a site that both simply explained their core business, but had to have the depth to deliver and express the more involved aspects of their work.

After initial presentation of a variety of design and creative concepts, TFS commissioned Cube to produce the site that would deliver both the indepth technical information, but could also be user friendly. We handled every aspect of the project, from design, build and implementation, through to copy and image sourcing. The final site has drawn much praise from the industry and TFS clients alike for it's ease of use, accessibility and concise, easily accessible information.

As part of the launch, Cube also developed and co-ordinated a E-Marketing campaign announcing the launch of the site, which yielded an impressive 8% click thru rate to the site, the best campaign result for a website launch Cube have broadcast.

Manchester based design & marketing agency, Cube Creative, have just expanded their operation with the opening of a new London office.

Established in 2000, Cube's current business portfolio has grown dramatically during the last 12 months, with a client base now spread throughout the whole of the UK.

Managing Director Mark Frith is delighted with the expansion:
"It's a significant milestone in Cube's development. We've had a fantastic year, winning more and more work from the south in particular, impressing people with our talent for design and delivering value for money marketing solutions, which is a combination not always easy to find in London. We are now able to offer more immediate response to all of our southern based clients and I'm sure it will also help us to win more new business down there."
