This week, Sylvain Reiter and Danny Bluestone shared insight and tips with the audience from Bizoogo about how to build a successful technology business at Rainmaking Loft in Tower Hill, London.

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. As Cyber-Duck’s Client Marketing Manager, I summarise the key points from the event. 

After just 5 weeks of streamlined hard work at supersonic speeds, the team are proud to announce the production and take-off of the new, refreshed Eurofighter website. The new accessible and engaging responsive website design (RWD) has been produced to embody the quality, strength and power of the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet.

Most digital agencies face pressures to execute high quality work under tight deadlines. My keynote at the National Centre for project management focused on how organisations can use lean, agile, ISO-9001 and user-centred design (UCD) methods to deliver multiple innovative projects with few resources.

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.

The BIMA Digital Day is a national event where the UK’s top digital agencies mentor kids in schools. Cyber-Duck, a Hertfordshire digital agency guided Bushey Meads kids through a native app design project. Craig recounts the day he went back to school.

Earlier in October, the Ducks went on a day out to Warwick Castle. We enjoyed a comprehensive tour of the medieval landmark, as well as lessons in archery, sword fighting and marching in straight lines, which proved to be a huge challenge. Here's a photo montage of the best bits!
