The Digital Pond welcomed a panel of the brightest minds in digital marketing to share their thoughts on the biggest talking points this year, as well as forecasting the trends that are likely to influence next year’s marketing strategies.

For the second year running, the Cyber-Duck team have done a spiffing job in growing and grooming their moustaches, in a marvellous effort to raise money for men’s health charities as well as general awareness for men’s health issues.

On Thursday, November 28th the Digital Pond will be meeting again in Farringdon for their annual panel event, where they will be exploring the changing and shifting trends in digital marketing this year, and what is predicted for 2014.

As active members in the tech community, we get invited to a lot of meet-ups, conferences and events. There are few we enjoy as much as the Mozilla Festival, which is renowned for bringing together web developers and designers to celebrate creative ideas and innovative technical talent. Here are the important key themes which we took from the event.

Mozilla Festival (MozFest) is a playground for web developers and web designers, who come together to celebrate great ideas and shape the web of the future. Two web developers from Cyber-Duck, Benjamin Maugain and Alex Miller, presented a workshop explaining how JavaScript can convert a tweet into Morse code by flashing the LED lights on an Arduino.

Here at Cyber-Duck, we are big advocates of responsive web design (RWD). It is a future-friendly approach that ensures that your website assumes less about your users, from their connection speed to their screen size. When implemented well, the result is a website that looks and (more importantly) works great across any device or browser.
