Projects

Apps for the people

We’ve worked on a great spectrum of social web applications, from interactive apps for The Science Museum and Press Association, to crowd-sourced lobbying tools for WaterAid, data visualisations for Participle and The Guardian, collaboration apps for Bright One and NetDev, and long-term community building with the National Deaf Children’s Society. Most of these projects have come to us as recommendations from previous clients.

We’ve also been working on an ongoing series of high-profile apps for BBC World Service. Several of our productions have won awards from Yahoo!, the BBC, Sony, Hewlett-Packard and UnLtd.
