Client win: drink drive awareness campaign

We're over the moon at Qube that we've been chosen to develop the online marketing side of West Sussex County Council's year long drive safety campaign.

Alongside Zero Fifty One, who are providing the offline advertising and creative, Qube will help West Sussex to communicate to the hard to reach 17-24 age group with a number of online and social media marketing campaigns throughout the year, focusing on drink driving, using a mobile while driving and seatbelt use, amongst other things.

Graeme, the newest Qubite on the block

A belated welcome to Graeme Benstead, who joined Qube this month in the role of online marketing executive.

Graeme was formerly one of the director's of Heavenly Media, with an excellent track record in search marketing and social media. He also comes with a host of analytic, design and technical skills and is already proving a valuable member of the team.

So say hello to Graeme, everyone :-)

PS. Graeme has just asked me to add something to this post about his charming smile. So consider it done, mister B.

Why we're blogging

Some people love blogging, they do it just because they can. Or because they like the sound of their own voices (well, fingers tapping, but you get our gist).

The point is, we're not really like that at Qube - we thought long and hard before deciding to have a company blog. What if it stagnates? What if nobody's interested?

In the end, we decided to go for it - we have to have somewhere to share our wisdom on the latest industry news. We have to have somewhere to let you know what's new with us - why not a blog?

So here it is.
