Greetings my friendly little cyber-cherubs.  As you’ve correctly assumed I have something  to divulge. So cometh near, as tis’ the season for good cheer, and Christmas themed email marketing campaigns that woo audiences with a festive selection of treats.

Once again we got our marketing, email and promotional heads on to perform yet more noble deeds for wonderfully original outdoor toy specialist Fun4Kids. We sent a mailout last week devoted to Christmas gift ideas, adorned with festivities – and let me tell thee, it was a right old success. Read More…

We noticed some rather interesting statistics on the 4th Nov (the day The Pixel’s Blog featured on Smashing Magazine’s homepage, in case you’d forgotten…).

66% of users on the day were using Mozilla Firefox compared to only 8% using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. To put this in context (just in case you’re wondering), IE usual commands a 65% market share of the web in total, and Firefox usually around 26%*. Read More…

Ladies and gentlemen, I am very pleased to announce that The Pixel has scored highly in Smashing Magazine’s ‘50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs’. In fact, we currently feature on the website’s homepage*: Smashing Magazine.

Smashing Magazine is a hugely popular and trusted web design publication that keeps its finger firmly on the pulse of the latest trends. We’re very proud to have been acknowledged by them for our efforts. Read More…

Tis’ a beautiful time of the year for a good old, new fashioned mailout. And a good mailout we’ve produced my megabyte-chomping companions, this time for the adventurous and playful outfit Fun4Kids.co.uk.

Our humble yet exceptional mailout has a somewhat outdoorsy, action, extremeness, aimed at plucky youngsters that like nothing more than to ride around on electric vehicles till their gutsy heart’s content. Read More…

Here at The Pixel we’re currently smack bang in the middle of producing our latest video banner for Play.com – and this time it’s for the new Sam Rockwell flick ‘Moon’.

Directed by no other than David Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones (I think he changed his name so no-one would know), ‘Moon’ follows astronaut Sam Bell – a solitary lunar employee who experiences a personal crisis at the end of his three-year stint on, well, the moon. We won’t give anything else away, mostly because we only get given trailers, so we haven’t seen it. Read More…

What a difference words can make. Since we at The Pixel offered our copywriting services to Fun4Kids.co.uk – the ecommerce children’s outdoor toy specialists – we’re please to announce that sales have risen to new heights.

One of the main reasons for the increase in sales may well be the unique copy written per new product. Previously, as is the case with most ecommerce businesses, manufacturer provided text was used for each product listing. Read More…

Our Blu-Ray e-Catalogue for Play.com is a fine example of a digital Flash magazine that incorporates a Blu-Ray tutorial, live price and stock updates, product imagery and magazine style editorials.

Unlike most e-Cats out there (i.e. exact copies of traditional publications with no additional features), the Blu-Ray e-Cat provides the end user with a lasting memorable experience, entertainment and the ability to purchase items with one swift click. Read More…

Yet more exhilarating news my pixel body-boarding friends. A new member has joined the copywriting team at acclaimed and celebrated The Pixel. His name is Daniel Marsh Esq. and he’s waiting, willing and partially able to complete any written assignments you may set him.
