Sport and supporting our local community are two big passions here at Mashbo, so you can imagine our enthusiasm and excitement when we were approached by Everton FC to create a new website for its groundbreaking free school and football college.

As a business the team at Mashbo loves being recognised for doing great work, there’s nothing better. Except, that is, being recognised for work that is changing lives.

In the final installment of its first series of its Sector Sync events, Creative Kitchen and Professional Liverpool explored the renewed relationship between the PR & Marketing sector and its professional service clients.

Do Public Relations (PR) and Communications practitioners really need to bother with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), or are they just expensive fads? That’s the question we’ll be exploring on Wednesday 19 September at our event in conjunction with CIPR North West - VR and AR in PR: Using new technology to tell engaging stories.

In the third of our series of Creative Kitchen ‘Sector Sync' events we’ll be looking at the relationship between PR and Marketing professionals and their professional service clients.

We are looking for someone with experience of running a successful digital development team and projects with amazing written and verbal communication skills.

As tech continues its rapid march forward, is technology in the Third Sector keeping pace, should it be and - most importantly - can it afford to fall behind?

Following on from Creative Kitchen’s first Sector Sync panel in May, the event returned last week to continue the discussion and look at how our two sectors can continue to build better client/supplier relationships.

“Please supply visuals or mockups as part of your pitch” - ten words that creative businesses see far too often when pitching for new work and ones make us shudder in horror - but not for the reasons you might think.

Last week our Technical Director, Steve Todd, took part in a UKFast webinar on the core drivers for cloud automation adoption and how it could benefit business of all sizes.

“When I grow up, I want to be a UX designer” - I bet there’s not many times those words have been uttered by a child pondering future career choices.

In the first of a series of event bringing together the creative and professional sectors, Sector Sync took a look at what the ideal creative brief looks like and how businesses in the creative and professional sector can work more effectively together.

That was the overwhelming sentiment at the Harnessing Tech to Build Your Business event, presented by Liverpool Chamber of Commerce and Liverpool Hope University and hosted by Santander UK at its Liverpool incubator hub.

Well we’re feeling rather excited and proud this morning, after finding out we have been shortlisted for not one, not two, not three but FOUR shiny Big Chip Awards!

This week’s news that Liverpool has launched its bid to become home to Channel 4’s headquarters was met with real excitement in the Mashbo office, because – why really wouldn’t they consider moving here?
