London Design Festival 2008 Launches

The 2008 London Design Festival is launching this morning at a press conference at London's South Bank Centre. This is the sixth Festival, and again it is planned to be bigger and better then ever. In 2007 nearly 400000 people attended over 220 events across London, with the Festival Hub at the Festival Hall one of the highlights. Once again the Festival is basing itself on the South Bank with highlights including the Carrenza sponsored Y Design awards and the inaugural D3 - The Digital Design Day.  

A full program of events will be available on the LDF website which again this year is being hosted by Carrenza.

Comic Relief goes live on Carrenza UCS

 After several months of work and panning we have today migrated the hugely popular stable of Comic relief Websites onto Carrenza UCS. These include rednoseday.com, comicrelief.com and makepovertyhistory.org. 

We are delighted to be working with Comic Relief, a charity whose aims we wholeheartedly support and we look forward to years of working together.

Carrenza Wii Sport Challenge

We knew something had to be done to raise cash for the 2008 Sport Relief campaign, but we are not really your jogging in the rain sort of team so we had to look for a way of doing sport and staying warm dry and entertained.

Elaine who is in charge of this sort of clever idea suggested mounting a Wii sports challenge -  go-karts and wrestling were discarded – so a call to our friends at Nintendo and we had blagged the use of a swanky Wii Kiosk. More help from our Landlord,  who lent us the foyer and from the team at BD NTWK who look after Nintendo’s Direct Marketing  and we had a challenge. Have fun and raise money for Sport Relief all in without leaving the building!

It was a huge success, people came up with all manner of excuses for not being at their desks working hard, lunchbreaks stretched and we managed to raise over £600 and pulled muscles with over enthusiastic Wii boxing. 

Sport Relief is a brilliant cause and a great way to raise money, we will be back next time round, but in the mean time you can always slip them a tenner or whatever you can manage, just pop over to http://donate.sportrelief.com with you card ready.

Carrenza client Tribal launch new VW site

We have been working hard with long-term client Tribal preparing for the launch of the brilliant new Volkswagen site. They have spent many months building what amounts to a revolution in Car company sites which have for years been a bit dull. 

Carrenza have helped Tribal build a compute cloud on which VW are hosting their new site which is hosted in Carrenza’s main East London data centre.
 
Dan Sutherland MD at Carrenza said “we have hosted the Volkswagen.co.uk site for tribal for the last 3 years and we are really excited to be continuing that relationship by helping launch this hugely significant site”
