The direct marketing industry was worth £2.17bn in 2007. Press advertising was still the biggest channel with expenditure of £7.71bn, and a 39% share of the market. This was followed by TV at £4.6bn and a 24% share.
The UK advertising industry grew by 4.2%in 2007 to a total of £19.4bn.

Where will you take your customers in 2008?
Looking for somewhere suitable to take your staff, your colleagues or your customers?
One of our favourite events is Glorious Goodwood - one of the highlights of the social summer scene. Indeed, King Edward VII once described Glorious Goodwood as ‘a garden party with racing tacked on’.
The meeting not only offers the very best in top-class racing - ‘Glorious Goodwood’ is a real English summer institution, where racing, socialising and fashion go hand in hand.
Goodwood is reckoned to be one of the world’s most beautiful racecourses. Set high on the South Downs with the most beautiful of views, it really is the perfect place to enjoy summer’s day. The Thursday of the Goodwood Festival is traditionally ‘Ladies’ Day’ and the feature race of the day, the Goodwood Cup, is Goodwood’s oldest race.
Our sister company, Nice Work, has been organising trips to Goodwood for some years now and are now taking reservations for a Glorious Goodwood VIP Package.

Pedal power for Sierra Leone
Half-a-dozen brave souls returned to Hastings on Monday afternoon after cycling to Boulogne and back to raise funds for the Hastings Sierra Leone Friendship Link.
The group were welcomed back from their 200 kilometre plus trek by a band of supporters and sponsors including Councillor Jeremy Birch.
The six cyclists - Roger Mitchell, Steve Frost, Bill Evans, Mike Cooper, Einar Einarsson and Jansen van Rensburg - were waved off on their challenge on Saturday morning from Hastings Pier by the Mayor Councillor Maureen Charlesworth and members of the Hastings-Sierra Leone Friendship Link. From there the group made their way to Dover and across the channel for a 2 night stay in Calais. Sunday saw them cycling to the port of Boulogne and back – a journey of around 50 miles – in blazing sunshine.
The Pedal for Sierra Leone was arranged by Diligence sister company Nice Work. Money raised from the event will help funding for the Community Resource Building in Hastings Village in Sierra Leone.

All set for Lydd Classic
Runners from all over the south east – and some from even further afield - will be descending upon Lydd on Sunday March 9th for the return of the Lydd Parish Half Marathon.
The race was once a popular part of the south east road running calendar but has been absent now for a number of years. Race organisers Nice Work, sister company of Diligence Media and marketing, are anticipating around 250 runners of all standards - from novice joggers to seasoned competitors - to line up for the main event. "The return of the race seems to have been well received and we’ve attracted a healthy number of entrants already” says Race Director Martin Burke “But there will still be spaces ava
ilable for those who want to sign up on the day – and we’re also hoping for a strong entry in both the 2 mile Fun Run and Children’s Race”
The Half Marathon race is over a flat, route along towards Dungeness before joining the Coast Road to Greatstone. The course is proving popular both for those in training for this year’s London Marathon and for those looking for a fast time.
All finishers will receive a medal and a Goody Bag and there are prizes for the leading runners. Any enquires to Martin Burke 01797 230730 or visit http://www.nice-work.org.uk/

Next Holiday for Diligence!
Local businesses celebrate the launch of an exciting new website - NextHoliday.co.uk!
BP Travel Marketing is celebrating the launch of Next Holiday, BP's latest online product dedicated to helping consumers find their Next Holiday which has its First Edition live this morning. Next Holiday joins BP's other consumer focused websites TravelOwl.co.uk and Brochurebank.co.uk.
Next Holiday was created by BP's online services manager Phil Taylor working closely with Sussex-based communications company Diligence Media and Marketing, whose design skills were put to the test to create such a simple but effective communication platform. The result is a unique mix of user-generated content (from TravelOwl.co.uk BP's online travel community) and classified advertising from Tour Operators and Travel Agents. Excitingly, Next Holiday takes a number of online and offline forms. Next Holiday (.co.uk) is the main website where visitors link to TravelOwl, Brochurebank and Advertisers' websites. In addition, registered users receive an html email introducing the features of each month's edition plus there is also a printed version which accompanies all brochures dispatched from Brochurebank making this a unique opportunity to target consumers through a variety of media.
The current Next Holiday database is 50,000 consumers who are actively looking to book their Next Holiday and substantial growth is being targeted with numbers estimated to triple over the course of the year.
Phil Taylor, BP's product manager, Online Services, commented: "This is a hugely exciting product, combining traveller's experiences from TravelOwl with some excellent holiday offers to tempt people into booking their Next Holiday." He added: "This month we've got first time cruisers, amazing photos from Churchill in Canada of the polar bears, ski reviews from Panorama in British Columbia and video from the Maldives. It's so exciting to be able to share people's experiences in such a unique way."
James Marchant, Creative Director at Diligence Media and Marketing said: “The growth in the use of technology and emarketing offers an excellent opportunity for BP Travel Marketing, which has a strong reputation for developing high quality travel marketing products, to build its brand and expand its market.”
He added: “BP Travel Marketing is an important account for Diligence. Alongside our recent work for some of the region’s leading companies, it is a step forward in our strategy to increase our presence in the south east business community.”

Air Ambulance at the click of a button
The three Air Ambulance services in the south east have just re-launched their on-line presence with an exciting new web site.The three sites, for Kent Air Ambulance, Surrey Air Ambulance and Sussex Air Ambulance were conceived, developed and constructed by Diligence Media and Marketing. The sites are more user friendly and contain new interactive features, information, photographs and videos of the life saving helicopters they use.
New features include ‘real life’ stories from people who have been carried by the Air Ambulance, a virtual tour of the helicopter that allows the public to see the cockpit and cabin and cutaway views of the aircraft. There is also a new flying time map than enables viewers to find out how long it takes the helicopters to fly from their bases to various locations within their respective counties.
James Marchant, Creative Director at Diligence said ‘This is a really exciting development. It has taken us some six months to get it right but we believe that we have come up with a web site which is both informative and fun. It enables the people within Kent, Surrey and Sussex who so generously support the charity to be able to keep up to date with news from their Air Ambulance service.’
Diligence Media and Marketing was formed in November 2007 following the merger of two well known local marketing and design companies, Pixel Puppet and Peasmarsh-based Nice Work.

Note to Editors (1):
The Air Ambulance service in Kent, Surrey and Sussex costs around £3 million annually to stay airborne. Receiving no funds from the government or the National Lottery the charity is entirely dependent upon the generosity of the public to support the two helicopters, based at Marden and Dunsfold.

The company was considering a sponsored advertising campaign, using search engines but Martin Burke from Nice Work says: "Before embarking on a PPC (Pay per click) campaign, we need to make sure Wild about Mushrooms enjoys higher brand awareness. We will be undertaking an intensive profile-raising campaign using traditional PR and events, but also incorporating a new Power Site (Blog) and HTML email campaigns"

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."

Pixel Puppet takes on Wellington!
Hastings-based design studio Pixel Puppet is gearing up for further expansion with a move to larger premises in Wellington Square in the town. The four year old studio is enjoying its busiest ever year and larger premises are needed to accommodate additional staff and resources.
James Marchant, Creative Director of Pixel Puppet says: “Growth of our local and national client base and the expansion of our support services mean we’ve now outgrown two premises! The move to Wellington Square will also allow us to further grow and expand our service offerings while maintaining our town centre location”
Since its formation, Pixel Puppet has experienced rapid expansion, with recent growth coming from new business activities as well as from existing customers. In addition to the move, the studio has also announced that it is strengthening its strategic alliance with marketing and event consultancy Nice Work. The two organisations have been working closely on a number of projects since 2006 and are anticipating a closer working relationship in the months to come. To mark this alliance, Pixel Puppet has also relaunched its website which you can see by clicking here

· Copywriting, artwork and design services
· Website design and build plus a range of e-marketing services
· Media and PR
