We’re very pleased to announce Cherry is working on the branding and collateral for the Association of Online Publishers flagship annual event, the Digital Publishing Summit 2010.

The theme for this year is Building World Class Digital Media Businesses, and is taking place at Westminster Bridge Road Plaza on 15th October 2010.

We’ve begun rolling out the new branding across web banners, and will be creating flyers, programmes and event graphics in the near future.

Now we’re pleased to announce that – having gone head-to-head with the so-called media agency industry Top 10 – the Maxus website came out top of the pile in a recent review in MediaWeek.

We’re really happy for our client (and are giving ourselves a pat on the back too!)

The winner, Iris Billing, is a phenomenal woman. She founded the charity Tanya’s Courage in memory of her daughter, who very sadly passed away in 2005.

Tesco’s knew that Iris really wanted a new brand and website for the charity, which is where we got involved – providing both, free of charge, for the worthy winner. The new site has just gone live, it’s well worth a look. Keep up the great work Iris and team!

This week we get a mention in top industry journal, New Media Age, for our work on a new online game that has just been launched by Lonely Planet. We have to admit, we had a lot of fun with this one.

We’re pleased to announce our long-standing relationship with media planning agency BJK&E has continued now they are Maxus, and we are currently working on the design and build of their new website.

Look out for the launch in mid-October.

Following our sucessful work for Catalyst Project and European Climate Foundation, we are very proud to add another excellent ecological client to our roster.

Look out for the new launch in early June.

Now in its fourth year, the Tesco Mum of the Year Awards honours extraordinary women with some truly incredible stories to tell.

This year’s overall winner was Iris Billing from St Austell, Cornwell. After losing her 16-year-old daughter Tanya to a rare form of leukaemia in 2005, Iris was so inspired by Tanya’s bravery throughout her gruelling treatment that she founded Tanya’s Courage, a charity offering financial support to young adult cancer patients throughout Cornwall. Many of these young patients would lose everything they have without Iris’s help, so she really is making an incredible difference.

After hearing Iris’s story, Cherry wanted to donate a prize to the Tesco Mum of the Year Awards. So, we’re currently redesigning the visual identity for Tanya’s Courage, and will soon be launching with a new content-managed website and blog. All should make life much easier for Iris – and hopefully help raise lots more money for such a great cause.

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make it along to the awards to see Iris collect her prize, but we have it on good authority that the host – none other the great Jimmy Osmond – gave Cherry a big-up of cosmic proportions.

Well done Iris. And nice one Jimmy!

CST recently asked Cherry to revamp their corporate website – and with it, Dave’s blog, recently named by The Sunday Times as one of the World’s 100 best weblogs (and the only advertising one in there, to boot). If you haven’t checked it out already, do so. Pure genius.

The new site will be launching early April 2009. Keep your eyes peeled and we’ll let you know when there’s something pretty to look at.

CNN Traveller magazine

Creative Cherry are proud to announce we have been appointed to design and build the new CNN Traveller website.

The website will bring to life CNN Traveller magazine online, offering additional content and an editor’s blog, alongside the regular magazine features.

CNN Traveller magazine is readily available to affluent business and high-end leisure travellers at key distribution points throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.

The brand new website will be going live in early April 2009.

The micro-blogging service saw a huge 974% increase in UK traffic in 2008. First it helped Obama spread his vision of “Change” in the run-up to the US Elections. Soon after, it was used by nimble-fingered passerby Janis Krums to capture a plane ditching in the Hudson. Then it was discussed by on the Johnathon Ross Show sending traffic to the site surging once more.

But when it’s used live on air by Philip Scofield on housewives’ favourite This Morning, you know something extraordinary is happening. Tipping point – live on daytime TV.

If you’re still unsure what all the fuss is about, or why you’d want to share the minutiae of your life with the rest of the world, here’s a great little video from Commoncraft to get you started.
