East Sussex based marketing agency Diligence Media and Marketing is expanding its operations by announcing the opening of a satellite office in Maidstone, Kent.
The new office represents a remarkable success for Diligence which was established in November 2007, as a result of a merger between two long established companies – Nice Work and Pixel Puppet.
Since its launch Diligence has built a formidable reputation and boasts an impressive client list which includes Legal & General, Kent Air Ambulance, Sea Space, KPMG and Orbital Marketing to name but a few.
“Our new Maidstone office represents an important part of our continued expansion plans” said Martin Burke, Marketing Director.
“Although our roots lie firmly in East Sussex, we now have a large number of Kent based clients and the new office will allow us to better service them."

We're movin' up!!
Diligence Media and Marketing is gearing up for further expansion with a move to larger premises in Wellington Square, Hastings. Since the launch of Diligence in late 2007, business levels have been such that the new company requires additional staff and larger premises.
However, the company isn't moving far - the new offices are just next door and up one floor! The move from 18 to 20 Wellington Square, in Hastings, means the company is now able ato accomodate additional staff and resources, whilst maintaining its convenient town centre location.
Since the new company - formed, following the merger of two long-established local companies, Nice Work and Pixel Puppet - was launched, it has experienced rapid expansion. Recent growth has come from both new clients and increased business from existing customers.
The new new offices are located at 20, Wellington Square, Hastings – in the centre of Hastings, close to the central station and with parking facilities nearby.
Diligence will continue to maintain its rural office in Peasmarsh.

Storm rising in East Sussex
Pixel Puppet and Nice Work have been appointed to help launch a brand new two seater sports car to the UK market. Heathfield-based Dream Machines, an existing client of Pixel Puppet, have secured exclusive rights to import the San Storm into Europe and the Pixel/Nice Work team are now hard at work developing branding proposals and a comprehensive marketing plan to launch the Storm onto the UK market.
The San Storm is expected to make a huge impact in the highly competitive sports-car market - its green credentials means the Storm is a genuine sporty alternative to the traditional ‘green’ car with a number of exciting attributes highly relevant to today’s consumer including:
• Low emissions - the car qualifies for the low £30 road tax
• Low emissions - the two-seater is a true 'green' car
• Quality engine manufacturer – the car carries a Renault engine, meaning reliability and easy access to spares
• Economical - up to 70 mpg means the Storm is economical to run
• Stylish - a real head turner!
• Low insurance costs
• Competitively priced - the Storm is expected to retail at under £10,000
Creative Director James Marchant says: "This is a great account win for the new team and justifies our decision to combine Pixel Puppet's creative resources with the marketing expertise provided by Nice Work"
Martin Burke from Nice Work was delighted with the new business win: "Our appointment to manage the launch of the Storm reflects the depth of our experience, the quality of our ideas as well as our ability to respond quickly to a client's needs. We were able to offer Dream Machines a combined strategic and creative resource with a real understanding of the brand's - and the client's - needs.”

Pixel Puppet/Nice Work alliance pays off!
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."
