Over the last year, Rockpool has not only doubled in size, going from 8 to 19 staff, it has also doubled their turnover. MD Bruce Griffin says, “We are a young digital agency and only started four years ago. We had been building up a steady stream of work and then in 2007 implemented a strategy for expansion and growth. This year has seen us really move forward.” Clients worked with this year include high-profile names such as Sky, Babcock and Exor. Bruce says, “We have been working with Sky for a number of years, but this year has seen us create a range of exciting and creative sites for them. These creations range from consumer based microsites through to functional extranets and sales systems.” !/assets/194/01.jpg! Specifically the last 12 months has seen the Rockpool team working on the Sky Portal, a site which is used by all of Sky’s third party users and allows Sky to provide information and interactive tools to their resellers. On top of the work with Sky, this year Rockpool have been appointed as the new digital agency for Babcock, a FTSE 250 company based in London. “We are rolling out its brand online while also developing a raft of new functionality for the website. These range from an investor centre, a careers and recruitment area and a re-organisation of all their web content for the numerous nationwide divisions.” The team has also been engaged to redefine Babcock’s digital strategy over the next few years. As an agency that has historically cited their specialism as providing unique interactive web applications, the last 12 months has marked a new era for Rockpool. “We have been working to introduce a whole new creative team over the last eight months, including the appointment of our new Creative Director Will Wellesley-Davies. By having an experienced creative team working alongside our technology team we’ve made the move from being technical developers to being a full service digital agency. This is a huge step but incredibly exciting.” !/assets/194/02.jpg! This expansion has seen the team appoint Claire Rymer as Account Director to head up the client services team and Jeremy Praill to the role of Head of User Experience. “We are investing in all elements of our offering right now and know that to hit the mark on all fronts, the user experience elements of our offering must be spot on. We are incorporating aspects such as usability, information architecture and analytics and are looking forward to the next 12 to 24 months so we can see how our new direction develops.” To make space for the new team, and to allow for continued expansion in the year ahead, Rockpool is moving to its new flagship office in the Deco Building, on Bristol’s Paintworks complex. 2 60 194 Claire Rymer (Account Director) Joining from Carlson, Claire came on board to head up our client services team.
