Invited to speak at this year’s HCID Open Day on the theme “design at work”, I took the opportunity to share our processes and tools for internal communication – and how we continually improve.

Our Growth Director, Siji Onabanjo, has been selected as one of the BIMA Hot 100 influential digital figures in the UK. Joining the fiercely competitive list reflects Siji’s key role directing our year-on-year growth, and his personable, relentless approach to business development. 

For the third consecutive year, front end professionals converged on the Netherlands for a day filled with advanced CSS talks. CSS Day Amsterdam is a single day conference by (and for) experienced CSS developers. This was my second year at the event and these are my takeaways.

From Marketing Week Live to TFM&A, trade shows are a great opportunity for us to showcase our unique approach to key digital decision-makers. A striking exhibition stand is the best way to win business. Product Designer Sinead Dumigan tells the story behind our new display, which attracted a lot of attention this year. 

This year, Cyber-Duck has officially become an AdWords Certified agency with Google Partners. Here, I explain the benefits this can bring for our marketing clients. 

Cyber-Duck has achieved a top five client satisfaction rating, by The Drum’s Independent Agencies Census. The top marketing publication analyses the performance of the best independent agencies across the UK, over the last year. The ranking demonstrates our commitment to building lasting relationships with clients – from global brands, to innovative startups – for as long as they need us. 

It’s that time of year again. The team went over to Islington’s Business Design Centre, judging talent at the 30th New Designers graduate exhibition. Awarding our 6th Cyber-Duck Associate Prize, we were searching for a charismatic young designer, with an inspiring final project. 

We are delighted that our continued work with Sparks Direct has helped them win the ‘Best Electrical Wholesaler Website’ in the UK. This recognises the constant transformation of the website, adding features to enhance users’ ecommerce experience. 

The latest instalment of our popular event series brought speakers from two British media giants to the packed Goldsmiths’ Centre in Farringdon. We covered user experience trends, the evolution of designers’ roles, and what’s on the horizon for the discipline.
