We are incredibly chuffed to announce that our search marketing team has recently been commissioned to manage search strategy and campaigns for Press Holdings, owners of the Spectator, The Business and Apollo publications.

We get to work with one of the most influential, exciting publications in the country and Press Holdings will soon be reaping the rewards of working with one of the most innovative, groundbreaking search marketing teams in the country.

We've just finalised an agreement with network management experts Plan-Net Networks for a new project. Very exciting and highly confidential, so no further details.

 

15th August 2007

Theatre Breaks Search Marketing Win

Moodia's search team has been comissioned by Theatre Breaks to take on their SEO and PPC accounts. Funnily enough Theatre Breaks specialise in arranging and organising (you guessed it) breaks to the theatre. Any chance of cheap tickets for Mamet's Glen Garry Glen Ross?

 

6th August 2007

Managing Director Hitched and in France

What an awesome ceremony. We're high on an exposed field in some far-flung corner of Pembrokeshire. The Bride and Groom, across the lake from most of us, both look fantastic. A touch of drizzle but that doesn't dampen anyone's spirits, the rousing renditions of Louis Armstrong's 'What A Wonderful World' and Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' are proof of that. The vows were made and were heartfelt, personal and true. Then there were the speeches, in retrospect Jules you should have maybe been just a tad harsher at T's wedding! Then the serious business of the party,, the drink and banter flowed... and unfortunately this is where the Web Editor has to sign off.

Jules, Angharad, you make a beautiful couple - long may your happiness reign! All the team at Moodia. Hoorah!

 

31st July 2007

Addicted To Travel Goes Live

So as I was saying, July really was a great month! We also totally forgot to mention that the new Addicted To Travel website went live carrying a great-looking design by Moodia www.addictedtotravel.com

 

31st July 2007

FreestyleXtreme eXcitement!

The guys from Freestyle came in right at the end, like the proverbial silver lining, and now we're all excited because they want a new design and some great new features for their ecommerce store. It's like totally awesome dude!

 

30th July 2007

July 'Rainy and Uneventful'

Nothing much happened in July. It rained a lot. It rained a lot more. The Home Counties flooded and... it rained some more. Have you ever seen so much rain?! I'm sure some great stuff did happen but ultimately all anyone will remember is the rain.

 

29th June 2007

Moodia Win Stirling Ackroyd Project

Everyone looks for new property on the internet. Everyone knows that. That's why the smart guys up the road from us at Stirling Ackroyd are reinvesting in their website with us. The new site will feature a whole host of exciting and useful new technologies aimed at keeping Stirling Ackroyd ahead of the game. Moodia will also be managing and rolling out SA's new search marketing strategy.

 

28th June 2007

Having a Baby!"

The more time passes the more Moodia's news section reads like one of the better episodes of Friends...

Our main man Si Venturi and his long-term (long-suffering?) lady friend Emma Jones recently announced that they are expecting a little 'un. We reckon he'll make the best Dad in town (with the possible exceptions of Chris and Tarqs, who we'll assume, for the sake of diplomacy and goodwill, are just as capable as Si will be) This wee nipper will take Moodia's official total to 3 in under 2 years*.

* The unofficial total is both highly confidential and entirely unknown. Which is probably a good thing.

 

25th June 2007

Anyone Seen Mike's Wallet?

Last seen somewhere in the grounds of Cambo Estate (www.camboestate.com) around the time of the post-wedding bash fallout. If found please notify us through the usual means.

 

25th June 2007

Founding Director Hitched and On Way To Seychelles!

The bride was simply stunning, the groom scrubbed up impressively, the setting was nothing short of idyllic, the speeches had us all laughing and crying (in all the right places) and the minister kept us entertained with his unbridled enthusiasm for the art of naturalist metaphor. What a wedding! What a weekend! We wish the newlyweds, Titus and Carrie, all the very best for their future together. We're not at all jealous about the honeymoon destination either...

 

19th June 2007

We've recently been busy building on our existing relationship with Sunglass Hut. After demonstrating the potential of search through a series of pilot projects, the guys at Sunglass Hut have opted for a 6 month campaign with Moodia's search marketing team.

Also our favouritest actress was nominated for her very first BAFTA Award Best Actress 2007, an incredible achievement. Well done Ruthie, we're all rooting for you!

 

3rd April 2007

New CampaignManager Websites Go Live

I've always considered CampaignManager to be the 'dark horse' in our suite of software products. What do I mean by this? I can't quite put my finger on it.

Either way two new Moodia-built websites went live today that both harness the subtle powers of the occasionally underestimated system www.policereform.com and www.nickherbert.com. Check 'em!

 

27th March 2007

Moodia Sponsor 'Second Chance Tuesday'

Way back when, in the late 90's, there was a networking event known as First Tuesday that took place on the first Tuesday of every month where entrepreneurs and VCs bashed heads together over the potential of wondrous new ideas. Then the bubble burst. Now, Second Chance Tuesday signals the return of this format to London and welcomes the biggest names in the online world. Organised by the Glasshouse, Moodia are proud to be sponsors. Second Chance Tuesday London

Happy New Year Everyone!

Oh Lordy! It’s the 10th of Jan 2007 and we haven’t even wished all our pals a Happy New Year yet. Things are slipping around here. Right, our predictions for the upcoming year:

• Community sites will continue to grab all the headlines, simple effective ideas that change the real world will be the order of the day.
• The term ‘Web 2.0’ will finally be adequately defined and still no-one will really care.
• Usability will declare itself ‘Emperor of the Internet’ and will wage all out war on sites that are just impossible to figure out, none will survive its righteous wrath.
• Apple will launch their iPhone and will smash their 10m first year sales targets within three days.
• Cisco will have the last laugh as they own the rights to the name ‘iPhone’ and will cream off a substantial part of the revenue generated by those sales.
• Moodia will continue its relentless rise to glory

In'n'Out Website Live

Check this one out. A completely fresh approach to car servicing. We started working with In'n'Out some time ago on their business plans. Their brand new website went live on Friday evening and looks (if we do say so ourselves) fantastic! www.in-n-out.co.uk

 

11th December 2006

Pan-European Search Team

We've strengthened our search marketing capabilities considerably. Translated keyword targeting often falls down because direct translations fail to account for cultural nuances and differences in search behaviours across different countries. Tim and Annabel are multi-lingual search experts. Search and cultural understanding fused. Damn we're good!

 

5th December 2006

Moodia Win Boggle Online Marketing Account

This one is going to be huge (in fact the mind 'Boggles' - couldn't resist, apologies - Ed)! Boggle deal in ideas and will launch an inspirational new online service to the public early in 2007. Moodia's online marketing team will be with them all the way to ensure that Boggle achieves full-scale web saturation.

Quietly Quietly Catchy Monkey

So we've been suspiciously quiet here at the Moodia news desk in recent weeks (last post 19th October - good grief are these guys still trading!?). Truth is we've been very, very busy getting our fingers into all sorts of pies - too busy, in fact, to tend to our own news page. But watch this space, plenty of monkeys in the net to be revealed in the run up to Christmas...

 

19th October 2006

T J Hellier Jnr

So Tarquin comes in to the office at lunchtime yesterday grinning from ear to ear. "What's new Tarqs?" we ask. "This is," he says and proceeds to bring out Lucy's first scans. Hellier Jnr is currently about 2 inches tall. Who says no news is good news? It's all good news around here. Massive congrats Tarqs and Lucy from all the team at Moodia!

16th October 2006

Trafficlink Brand and Website Win

Trafficlink is the UK's leading provider of real-time traffic information. When you watch GMTV in the morning to find out how badly congested your route to work is you are actually watching Trafficlink's footage of stationery cars. They've just commissioned us to redevelop their brand and their website, we're happier than a cyclist weaving through a traffic jam!

 

9th October 2006

22nd September 2006

New London Prepared Website Live

Back in February we were commissioned by the London Resilience Team to redevelop the London Prepared website, an online resource designed to prepare London's residents, businesses and visitors for the event of an emergency in the capital. A mere 7 months down the line and the site has been launched - a fantastic project for all involved!

Yet Another Wedding

After a 'month-long summer vacation' the Moodia website news team is back in business. Since our last update our Managing Director, Jules Hopkinson, has joined the growing ranks of Moodia soon-to-be-weds (see 4th August 'News') having romantically proposed to his fiance Angharad halfway up a wind swept hillside in Wales. We wish them the absolute best and would like all to note that our weekends for the whole of summer 2007 are now officially 'engaged' (erm... apologies... awful)

Should we change this to the 'Moodia Marriage Announcements' section, rather than the 'News'?

Last week's bout of marriage mania is not subsiding as expected. In recent days another case of 'engagement' has been diagnosed and there are rumours that an outbreak is imminent in the Cape Town office. Moodia developer Chris will marry Carolyn though no date has yet been set. Best of luck Chris!

 

31st July 2006

Four Weddings and... er... actually that's probably enough for 2007!

The Moodia team has officially gone matrimonially buck wild. Not one, not two, not three, but four marriage announcements in the past few weeks! Next year holds weddings in store for Titus and Carrie, Carrie (no, not the same one) and Andy, Mikey and Sheldon and Derek and Chris. We wish all the soon-to-be marrieds the best of luck and bucketloads more happiness!

 

24th July 2006

Moodia's Server Capacity Increased
