New design agency launched!

Diligence is here!

Hastings-based design studio, Pixel Puppet, and Rye marketing consultancy Nice Work have formally merged to form a new marketing, communications and design agency.

The new company, Diligence Media and Marketing commenced trading on November 1st 2007.

The decision to bring the two companies together follows a successful 12 month collaboration period between the two founding partnerships. Martin Burke, Marketing Director of Diligence, says: "The new company has been formed to help both companies meet the growing needs of their clients. As a result, Diligence can now offer a true one-stop marketing shop with website and traditional design, media and PR, copywriting, marketing services and event management all now available under one roof.

“Our core values are to provide a quality service to our clients and provide value for money. We believe that working better rather than working differently will make us stand out from the crowd – which is why we're as comfortable working with business start-ups as we are with large international companies.

Client Services Director, Gareth Jones says: “Diligence is a results-driven business and with its roots stretching back almost twenty years, we have the experience to address the most pressing website, advertising, design and marketing needs.

“Although we’ve only been working as a team for 12 months, we’re proud of our growing reputation for great service, the quality of our creative work and our competitive prices”
Both the Nice Work and Pixel Puppet brands will be retained. Nice Work will continue to provide event management services, primarily in the entertainment and road running sectors. The Pixel Puppet brand will also be retained for future web-based projects.

Diligence will be based at two East Sussex offices – in Hastings and in Peasmarsh near Rye.
