Open CC have been filming for the National Autistic Society’s annual professional conference in Manchester. As well as catching seminars, lectures and debates, we also had the chance to film interviews with some real thought leaders. It’s all been cut together in our edit suite, so conference promo video will be appearing soon!
Open CC have been commissioned by DOCET to produce quarterly podcasts for all UK-based optometrists. We’ve just finished recording the first edition, which is presented by BBC Radio 4’s Geoff Watts. We’re also providing an online survey and topic submission area to ensure that the programme remains relevant and entertaining. The programme is released at the end of March and will be available on iTunes.
The British Red Cross' Open-built Children First Aid website has received overwhelming support at London's Baby Show. Over 26,000 visited Earl's Court last weekend and there was a great response to the site, which features videos, quizzes, animations, audio and downloadable resources. Joe Mulligan of the Red Cross said, "The show was an ideal opportunity for parents to find out about our custom-designed site."
We're still catching our breath from the BETT show, which was as busy as it always is. Take a look at Freddie's blog post for some brief ruminations on his first experience of the expo. If you were there but we didn't manage to catch up, you can always contact us!
The UK's first free online resource dedicated to teaching parents life-saving first aid skills has been featured in the Evening Standard. The paper's article on the site - which was designed and developed by Open for the British Red Cross - contained the following quote from a parent, “I couldn’t find time to do another first aid course…the Red Cross Children First Aid site is a priceless resource to me.”
Online CC becomes Open CC. Why, you may ask? We feel that the world around us is becoming more open every day. Information and people are connected in new and unexpected ways, new applications and technologies expand our horizons and redefine how we work, play, collaborate and consume. This offers huge opportunities, and we are excited about being part of making this happen, and our new brand will better express what we can achieve, both for our team and for our clients.
