The decision by Hastings-based design studio Pixel Puppet and Peasmarsh-based Marketing Services company Nice Work to form a strategic alliance has begun paying dividends with a number of high profile new business gains over the last 2 months.
The two companies have been working closely together for around 12 months and the decision to bring the partnership closer together has been taken with a view to a formal merger later in the year.
In the meantime, the two companies have scored some spectacular new business successes with financial services giant Legal & General, national charity the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign amongst the companies now added to the client list.
Martin Burke, Nice Work partner says: "The addition of a design element and the new business structure means we can better meet the growing needs of our clients. In addition to offering a complete outsourced marketing support service for companies, we are now able to deliver a high quality design service. And our success in attracting organisations such as Legal & General Insurance shows the strategy is working!"
Closer to home Burt Family Butchers, in Bexhill, suppliers of wholesale meats to caterers have appointed Pixel Puppet to produce a new website and undertake an email campaign; and Tools by Post have also appointed Pixel Puppet to redesign their existing website.
Pixel Puppet Creative Director James Marchant says: "I'm really pleased with the way the partnership between our two companies has strengthened our service offering. Our new business progress - particularly amongst the East Sussex SME sector - represents a tremendous start to our new year. Clients such as Burts and Tools by Post are significant because they have major growth potential."

Summer Series entries up for Rye Classic
There has been strong early interest for this year’s Rye Summer Classic Series with entries received from runners up on last year.
This year’s series kicks off with a 10K race on Friday July 13th with two 5K races taking place on Friday August 24th and Friday September 14th. The Series, which is supported by 1066 Country Marketing, is staged at the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
Race Director Martin Burke is hopeful that runners of all standards - from novice joggers to seasoned competitors - will help make this second running of the series another success and confirm the event’s place on the Sussex road running scene. "The distance of the three races means that all are perfect for beginners as well as experienced runners - and the flat course should ensure some good times as well".
All finishers will receive a medal and in addition to race and series prizes, the top performer over all three races wins an all-expenses paid trip to race in France in November.
Proceeds from the series are being shared between the Memorial care Centre in Rye, St Michael's Hospice and the Friends of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.

Strollers rack up a half century!
The 4th Stroll for St Michaels – the annual three day sponsored walk to raise funds for St Michael’s Hospice – has attracted its 50th participant!
The walk has raised over £10,000 over the last three years and the organisers, Peasmarsh-based event management company Nice Work are confident that this year’s event will be the biggest – and best – ever.
Organiser Martin Burke says “With our 50th person now signing up, we’re confident that this is going to be a bumper year for Strollers – but we’ve still got a few places left if anybody else cares to join us. This is now a really popular event and as well as being a great weekend away, is a superb opportunity to demonstrate support for St Michaels Hospice in a healthy and fun way. This year is also very special – because its our first time in Belgium with a unique opportunity to sample the sights and sounds of Bruges”
This year the Stroll coincides with the Pageant of the Golden Tree in Bruges’ historic centre. The pageant only takes place every four years and this colourful spectacle, with almost 2,000 participants and floats will parade through the streets of Bruges.
Walkers of all ages – from youngsters to the more mature – will be covering some of the most beautiful Flanders countryside and take in many places of historic interest en route. There are also a number of refreshment stops along the route and the overnight base in the centre of Bruges will provide ample opportunities to sample the local cuisine.
The route is primarily flat and with a longest day mileage of around 15 miles, only a basic minimum level of fitness would be required and if you can raise the minimum amount in sponsorship, your place on the Stroll is fully funded.
The 4th Annual Stroll for St Michaels takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend with a coach departure from Hastings on Saturday morning – returning to the town on Monday evening.
In addition to the coach, back-up vehicles will also carry basic first aid facilities and refreshments will be available at regular stops along the way. All meals, accommodation and refreshments for the duration of the walk are provided.
