B2B Marketing Award WINNER!

B2B MARKETING AWARDS

Aspect’s naughty little sister company Rebel Virals is thrilled to announce winning Best Channel Marketing Initiative for Microsoft’s Partner Network Viral ‘Camp Network’.

The viral aimed to generate awareness and sign-up for the Microsoft’s Partner Network. The viral playfully spoofs an alternative ‘Camp Network’ – a corporate networking boot camp run by tanned maniac Natham Storm. Take a look here…Camp Network

The use of viral in this B2B context shows how affective viral can be when targeting a specific audience and creating highly relevant content that provokes discussion and debate within a community or sector.

Brief Encounters

Luke & The Void

Our very own Matt Freeth (Camera Op/Editor) is soon to have his short film “Luke & The Void” premiered at Bristol’s Brief Encounters Short Film Festival.

Matt has directed numerous music videos in the past but this is his first short. If you’ve never been to Brief Encounters before, pop down and see something (they’re only short!) You’ll be guaranteed to find nuggets of gold in the form of imaginative shorts like “Luke & Void”.

New Potatos!

Aspect are pleased to announce the addition of 2 new full timers to our team.

Let me introduce them…

Matt Freeth – Camera operator and editormattphoto2

Matt is a filmmaker in the broadest sense – and has the rare virtue of being a technical wizard as well as a creative thinker. He’s taking on the dual role of camera operator and editor, which means if he’s not on a shoot getting great footage for our clients, he’s editing it. Matt really impressed us with a showreel that oozed clever thinking and slick execution.

Jimmy Kyle – Marketing Director

We’ve been searching for someone special to take on the role of Marketing Director and Jimmy is definitely special ;) He comes to Aspect with bags of Digital Marketing Agency experience. He’s excited about developing our relationships and expanding our reach so more companies can take advantage of video marketing. Jimmy’s background is a cool combination of marketing and video production – so he’s going to fit in nicely at Aspect.Jimmy
