Pixel Puppet have announced yet another new business gain.
www.toolsbypost.com is a Hastings-based company selling quality tools, outdoor products and hardware. In addition to a thriving online business, the company has a retail business in the town which has been established for over 45 years.
Pixel Puppet was appointed by www.toolsbypost.com to maintain their large e-commerce store. But, with a move of the parent company to a larger out of town facility imminent, Pixel Puppet has also been asked to help in additional media and brand-building work.
Gareth Jones from Pixel Puppet says: "This is an exciting project for us because it once again demonstrates the range of services we are now able to offer our clients. Website build and maintenance has traditionally been core business for us - but our alliance with Nice Work enables us to offer the media, brand building and event management expertise required by our client"

Wild about Mushrooms!
The humble mushroom is providing another boost to the Nice Work/Pixel Puppet alliance. East Sussex-based Orchidwood Mushrooms is Britain’s only specialist processor of frozen mushrooms to the food manufacturing industry.
In addition to providing mushrooms for the food industry, the company also markets a range of wild mushrooms via a dedicated e-commerce website designed, branded and developed by Pixel Puppet.
Now, with continued growth and interest in the wild mushroom market, particularly amongst Britain's home chefs, Pixel Puppet and Nice Work have been appointed to improve brand awareness and increase revenues.
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."

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.

Strollers in search of Windmills
Nearly 40 people have already signed up for this year’s Stroll for St Michaels and Stroll for Martha – the annual three day sponsored walk to raise funds for St Michael’s Hospice and Martha Trust.
The walk has raised over £10,000 over the last three years and this year the Stroll is based in the mediaeval Belgian city of Bruges - with the stay in the ‘Venice of the North’ coinciding with the Pageant of the Golden Tree in Bruges’ historic centre. The pageant only takes place every four years - a colourful spectacle, with almost 2,000 participants and floats parading through the streets of the city.
The Stroll covers some of the beautiful Flanders countryside, taking in many places of historic interest, with a number of museums and places of interest for participants 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 event is perfect for people of all ages and families are welcome to participate. 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.
If you can raise the minimum amount in sponsorship, your place on the Stroll is fully funded.
Organiser Martin Burke from Peasmarsh-based event company Nice Work says “This is our 4th Stroll – and it is proving by far our most popular and only a few places now remain. I would urge those who are considering joining us to ensure that their places are reseved. The walk has once again attracted families as well as individuals with our youngest walker aged just 11 years old.”
The 4th Annual Stroll for St Michaels and Martha takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend with a coach departure from both Hastings and Dover on Saturday morning – returning to the towns 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.
