TheTin - Digital Consultancy - +44 (0)20 7430 7935

Lucky number 7, indeed! It’s TheTin’s 7th Birthday today and as we celebrate the occasion with our favourite champagne, we raise our glasses to our Clients who have made this day possible. And, as we stride boldly into our eighth year – with projects for a number of clients, including the development of a trade site for Phaidon Publishing, a ground breaking site for EEA Architects, extending the online offerings of long term clients SCP and Munkenbeck and Partners and a number of other exciting projects in the pipeline – we look forward to the future. A future that, by all accounts, is Digital!

With clients in more than 12 countries across Western, Central and Eastern Europe, award-winning Erik van Egeraat Architects’ (EEA) web site is an essential marketing tool.  When the firm looked for an agency that could provide an innovative and flexible showcase for their award winning designs to inspire prospective clients, they chose TheTin!

Having provided a vision of how they can bring their approach, passion and work to life using cutting edge media rich applications, the project will include back-end integration with existing internal systems and innovative 3D interface design. 

So watch this space! 

We’d like to welcome Elizabeth Marrero to our happy family! Now in her first week with us, Elizabeth takes over Charlotte’s mantel of Studio Co-ordinator, with responsibility for ensuring that our projects run smoothly, on-time and on-budget. A self-confessed music geek with a passion for all that digital media can offer creative thinkers, and a philosophy to work hard and play wisely, we’re sure our clients will appreciate her as much as we do!

We’re very pleased to announce that TheTin now have a preferred partnership agreement with Mediarun Search. A full service search marketing agency specialising in performance based SEO solutions, social media optimisation and pay per click management, we believe that Mediarun’s depth of expertise, boutique approach and sense of humour will sit well with our own clients looking for someone special in SEO. 

When hand-lettering artist, Alison Carmichael came to us on the strength of our work for her agent Jelly London (www.jellylondon.com) we were delighted to help her with her own website.

Working with a design created by Alison and her designer Sarah Dezille, TheTin developed an XML-powered Flash site that contains a wealth of work including images and video plus press and awards content.

“Having just completed the whole process of re-designing and building my website, I can honestly say it has been a pleasantly painless process,” laughs Alison, “The guys at TheTin were great to work with and patiently talked me through every stage in plain English, which was invaluable as I’m a total technophobe!”

And it looks like the experience has left another happy client wanting more, “I definitely won’t put off redesigning my site for so long next time and would thoroughly recommend the team at TheTin.”

And we have to add that she was a pleasure to work with too!

Always happy join in celebrations, we popped champagne corks as Dame Helen Mirren christened P&O’s new superliner Ventura – in a ceremony that was streamed live on our recently launched Ventura Experience microsite. Building on a relationship that began last year with the ambitious online tour of the ‘Virtual Ventura’, P&O this time asked us to create a microsite to showcase the real ship in all her luxurious glory.  Designed in Flash, the Ventura Experience is packed with sumptuous photography to give you a peek at the ships many features – spas, restaurants, clubs, rooms, art and shows – as well as its destinations. For the full tour, check it out here Ventura Experience.

Never one to miss an opportunity, Jamie is off to Miami Beach where he joins our strategic partners Three Blind Mice at Seatrade, the international exhibition for the Cruise Industry.  With over 85 cruise line owners and operators, Seatrade is the best place to shout about TheTin’s innovative digital marketing services for the travel sector.  A dedicated stand will showcase work including the interactive 3D virtual tour for P&O’s new superliner Ventura and P&O’s World Cruise Google Earth™ layer, soon to be rolled out across all 80 of P&O’s cruise lines. So, if you happen to be in Miami between the 12th and 15th March, come see us! 

When exclusive boutique spa and resort developer Per Aquum needed an elegant way to present a media pack to promote the launch of ‘Zil Pasyon’, their luxurious resort playground for the super-rich in the Seychelles, TheTin were delighted to help. The resulting microsite perfectly reflects the vision of ‘barefoot elegance’ that Per Aquum is famous for and fits neatly on the branded Flash Drive’s that were given away to the press.

We’re pleased to say that after having freelanced as Flash developer on projects including Virtual Ventura for P&O Cruises, The Joke’s Over for Random House and Ronnie Wood for the man himself, the talented David Robinson has now joined TheTin full-time as Head of Interactive. We’re expecting great things from Dave, not least benefiting from his vast knowledge of whisky…

Dave is joined by Jason Fingland. Fresh from a degree in Graphic Communication from The University College for the Creative Arts at Farnham, Jason’s love of animation and design skills make him the ideal wingman to Dave’s expertise.
