Working against challenging briefs, budgets and timelines, our days are often focused on getting things done to the best of our ability. Giving someone the congratulations they deserve can get lost along the way.

Our team is the heart of who we are as an agency. Blending our unique characteristics and capabilities together, our quirky culture enriches the office environment. So, team building is very important to us, particularly as we bring more ducks on board. This year, my Quack Hack team created Duck Duck Guess: a simple, fun game, meant to bring us all even closer. 

For Quack Hack 2015, Andrew and I formed a two-man team to create ‘Brace’. Our Slack integration – combined with a Mac menu bar app – allows our staff to set their current location, find others and look up their phone extension with ease. Here, I’ll run you through the production process.  

At Cyber-Duck, our developers are committed to Progressive Enhancement. This means we can build core experiences that work across a range of devices, while pushing the technological limits to enhance features for users on modern browsers. Here, I’ll explain our take on the complex approach, and how it improves our client projects.

Cyber-Duck has been awarded ‘Elite’ agency status in The Drum's Digital Census. The top marketing publication analyses the performance of agencies offering digital services, evaluating key players’ financial prowess and client satisfaction. Our strong performance across both tables recognises our continued growth, driven by a dedication to our clients. 

It’s been a week since the “Reasons to be Creative” conference festival in Brighton. Now the dust has settled, here’s the story of my experience as an Elevator Pitcher.

Last week, Matt and I headed to Brighton for the ‘Reasons to be Creative’ festival: uniting developers, artists, illustrators and designers alike, with plenty of industry talent to stimulate our creative juices. This included the likes of Dominic Wilcox, Noma Bar, Jane ni Dhulchaointigh, and even Matt who spoke at the Elevator Pitch sessions.

Cyber-Duck is proud to be one of the main organisers behind the London edition of Startup Weekend this year. The ‘FashTech’ battle is the largest startup competition of its kind across the world. We are supporting with project management and promotion to the digital community. 

It has been over a year since the ‘Right to Be Forgotten’ (RTBF) ruling swept across Europe, scrubbing successful applicants’ search results clean for specific terms. But, it might not end here. Once again, RTBF has become a hot topic, with talks raging about whether the ruling should be expanded elsewhere.
