We're not ignoring you, just busy being literary

10 February 2012 at 06:54

As The Beatles once wrote, "It's been a long time, now I'm, going back home. I've been away now, oh how, I've been alone".

It's a lovely song, really it is. But I only meant to quote the first 5 words...I just got carried away...the music in my head replacing the voices....er...

Anyway, it has indeed been a long time since last we met. How are you? Really? Well, you should get that seen to. Meanwhile, our apologies for radio silence, we've had a crazy few months and there's no let up.

What's new?

Most of our time....what am I thinking...ALL of our time (and then some) is being spent on the wonderful Bath Festivals.

All? Well, not all. The web brigade (those Hostpipe boys are like skirmishing Rifles circa 1814, so keen eyed and dynamic are they, just with fewer bayonets and more cross browser compatibility) continue to support Stewart Signs with all things technical. And there are some other bits and pieces.

A shameless plug

Do you like words? Do you like festivals? Do you like the glorious city of Bath? Well, you'll love The Independent Bath Literature Festival - 2nd to 11th March, with 200 events featuring:

William Boyd, Jim Al-Khalili, Stella Rimington, Sandi Toksvig, Lynne Truss, Nadine Gordimer, Tony Parsons, Alain de Botton, Claire Tomalin, Ali Smith, A.L.Kennedy, Carol Ann Duffy, A.N.Wilson, Salley Vickers, Jeremy Paxman, Evan Davis, Alan Titchmarsh....and that fella Charlie Dickens will make his presence felt.

Quick sticks - it's selling out!

Marketing Stewart Signs

13 July 2011 at 10:59

OK, it's taken a little longer than necessary to post this entry about the new Stewart Signs website which went live in January, but you know, we've been busy...

Anyway, after a very successful launch of their rebrand in 2010, we turned our attention and considerable tech wizardry - in collaboration with Utopia's web development partners Hostpipe - to the design and build of the new and quite frankly massive Stewart Signs website.

Stewart Signs new website

This baby's got everything including a full bespoke Content Management System and an Ecommerce package that functions on multiple levels.

The back end (easy there) is a mammoth and stacked full of clever functionality. And it needs to be given it has to service the impressive Stewart Signs customer portfolio, including: Transport for London, BT Openreach, Osborne, BSM, First, Saga, JC Decaux...and on and on.

We took this:

Old Stewart Signs website

And made this:

New Stewart Signs website

 

So what's next?

Well, the website isn't standing still. It's alive! Help! By which we mean, it's a constant work in progress with all the best connotations of that word: progress. That's what Stewart Signs are all about, constantly forging ahead and leading the outdoor media, signage and livery industry, which they've been doing for decades.

Marketing communications

Away from the web, they are now turning their attention to the year ahead. To kick things off, Utopia paid them a visit last week at their base in Southampton with a rather fetching document in hand containing all sorts of ideas and plans for marketing Stewart Signs over the coming 12 months, including:

- Email marketing

- Printed literature

- SEO and social media marketing

- PR

- Direct Mail

- Advertising

Obviously, we don't have any designs or words to show you yet, so instead and by way of signing off this post (hahahaha!), here's a photo of some Utopians in front of a Stewart Signs branded van.
