Our portfolio

access: mobile Roadshow Europe

Our good friends at mobileSQUARED are hosting another of their mobile events and DPC will be there. They are usually full of great insight into whats working and whats not working in the world of mobile marketing and commerce.

Details:

Now in its third year, the access: mobile Roadshow Europe is back to provide a horizontal perspective of how companies are using mobile to effectively communicate with consumers.

What to expect

The agenda provides an end-to-end understanding of how a mobile strategy should be developed, for a company new to mobile, or a company already practicing the art of mobile. From content creation, apps, augmented reality, mobile advertising and marketing, coupons and vouchers all the way through to m-commerce, this event takes delegates on a mobile journey that they can apply the moment they return to the office.

Quick-fire delivery

The short speaker formats ensures presentations are snappy and focused. Sales pitches are not welcome. And an abundance of data and research provided throughout the day, means every delegate leaves with significantly more knowledge and understanding than when they arrived.

Who attends?

The mobileSQUARED Roadshow 2010 brought together an audience of 500+ from the mobile, advertising, agency and brand communities. Of these attendees, 59% were from the mobile industry and 41% from the non-mobile sectors. Furthermore, of the total delegates, 24% were completely new to mobile. This year we're expecting upwards of 300.

What's new? This year we've added a second track and will also have an exhibition area.

And if that's not enough, surveys conducted during (and after) the Roadshows during 2010 revealed that 80% of attendees would increase their investment having attended a Roadshow.

Is there networking? Extensive opportunities to network!

F&C Investments

F&C Investments appoint DPC to create their new website

F&C, one of the city’s top investment houses, have chosen DPC to help them rebuild their global website.

Over the coming months we will identify their core users, develop detailed use cases, develop the numerous the user journeys through the site, then design and develop the site itself.

F&C is a leading diversified multi-specialist investment management group with a heritage spanning more than 140 years. Alongside its core investment platform, the Group includes Thames River, a boutique asset manager with strong expertise in managing absolute return and multi-manager funds, and F&C REIT, a pure real-estate manager. F&C has three main business lines: Institutional, Funds & Investment Trusts and Insurance Partners.

While many asset managers are owned by financial services conglomerates, such as banks or insurance companies, F&C is an independent group, listed on the London Stock Exchange, which is focused exclusively on managing money. Today the group operates from offices in eight countries and manages £108.0 (€119.6)* billion of assets for a combination of insurance clients, institutional investors and private individuals which collectively represent 3 million underlying savers.

DPC are hugely excited about working with a city behemoth such as F&C and are looking forward to designing and developing the new site with an aim of launching early in 2012.

Committee on Climate Change

DPC have once again been appointed to design, typeset and develop the latest report for the Committee on Climate Change. The report will be designed to be viewed on a laptop screen without the need for magnifying the type, to help prevent people printing it out to read it. The interactive version contains a myriad of navigational buttons to enable the end-user to zip around it easily and locate information far quicker than a printed document would enable. Click on the link to download your own copy of their last report (created by DPC as well)...

Winning golf team

Some of us do enjoy our golf here at DPC Towers and July 6th saw us be a part of mobileSQUARED's golf team at the annual AIME golf day held at Silvermere, and for the second year running (yes... SECOND YEAR RUNNING) we managed to somehow win the team event with a staggering score of 103.

Many, many thanks to AIME for organising the day and a massive thanks to Nick at mobileSQUARED for inviting us to join his team.

We will return next year to defend our title...
