S&B Website

blueprint.tv ash — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:55:21 +0000

S&B Industrial Minerals are a global diversified industrial minerals and materials group. Operating in Greece since 1934, their spread of operations includes almost one hundred mines, processing and distribution centres across seventy five countries and five continents.

The challenge was to update their existing website which was built using Flash technology which meant many visitors and all iPad users couldn’t access the site. After our initial pitch, we succeeded in winning two further rounds of a competitive tender process, and succeeded in winning the business. We were instructed to design and build their new corporate website, featuring two interactive platforms including a worldwide interactive map. The site has been designed with accessibility in mind, and is built on a future proof platform to allow for the seamless integration of video and animation.

We employed the skills of our in house photographer: Algy Brinton. Algy travelled to multiple locations to capture the essence of the company and its operations. The tour included four locations in Greence, and then further shoots in Germany, Hungary, Austria and Bulgaria.

Working closely with multiple departments we designed a site that pays tribute to this companies’ proud heritage, while showcasing the modern technology and processes employed in delivering their mineral solutions. The challenge was to deliver a site that was relevant to the varying target audiences while focussing on their commitment to their customers. A central theme to this work was S&B’s own tagline “From Market to Mine” which demonstrates their brands commitment to providing speciality products for specific applications from heavy industry to agriculture.

Virgin Media Business

The brief for Virgin Media Business was to create a one minute animated film explaining the company’s journey to date, culminating in connection to the ‘cloud’. A particular challenge in this project was to create material that could be repurposed for different audiences:

A long form film was also created where the businessman character stops at different floors whilst in the lift: Each floor housed a different graphic behind the lift doors that could easily be inserted or changed, in order that the content could be used for different presentations many times over – effectively future-proofing the content. As a result the film was used not only in the short version for web, but continues to be used and updated for presentations and events.

Interactive Investor is a UK based online financial services provider, offering stocks, investments and personal finance solutions. Founded in August 1995, the site currently has 1.6 million registered users. The site enables users to register a portfolio on the site and track investments through live feeds. Other aspects such as property, debts and car loans can be assessed to give an idea of personal wealth. The site includes a real time level two pricing service called Quotestream.

Whilst the online platform and apps have been very successful within the UK retail investment community, the company wanted to making spread betting more accessible by explaining the basics and dispelling popular myths. We were approached to develop and produce a series of training and educational films featuring their anchor presenter, Alison Bell. The films were created to explain the basic concepts behind spread betting, in particular how to ‘make a trade.’ We produced the entire project from the creative development, through full production including shoot, sound, graphics and animations to delivery online.
