Exciting news for us at Numiko – we’re currently working on the site for Britain’s Next Top Model for Virgin Media Television’s LIVING channel. This is a fantastic win for us and it further strengthens our broadcast portfolio which includes the BBC, ITV.com and Lion Television.

This season’s show reveals a fresh new line up of judges, headed up by the one and only Elle Macpherson and it promises to be more glamorous and feisty than ever before. Fans will be able to live and breath BNTM by using the site to view photos, videos, polls, competitions, twitter feeds and facebook features.

What a start to the week! Last night we were awarded with best Cross Platform Production from the Royal Television Society, Yorkshire Centre in a glitzy dinner at The Queens Hotel in Leeds. Our entry I’m A Celebrity…, a site we created for ITVs television programme of the same name for the 2009 series, bowled over the judges and demonstrated the best use of digital content in a television production.

Well done to the team that worked on the project and put in so many hours to deliver such a first class production.

We’re thrilled about our most recent project for the BBC who commissioned us to create a website for the TV series Modern Masters. The programme currently on BBC One, explores the brilliance of Matisse, Picasso, Dali and Warhol and looks at how they shaped the world we live in.

The website aims to inspire people to journey into the world of art by featuring virtual exhibitions, information about art walks in nine major cities across the UK, links, resources and a range of video clips.

We’ve done it again! Hot off the heels of winning two Revolution Awards in April, we’ve been nominated for an RTS Yorkshire Programme Award with our entry I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! for ITV.com.

The annual awards in their sixth year, are being held at the Queens in Leeds on Monday 14 June. Wish us luck!

Well, what a great result last Thursday night at the Revolution Awards.  Numiko Won two awards, the first for our work with ITV on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and the second for Edinburgh Festivals.

I always have seen the Revolution Awards as some of the toughest in the industry, so winning them feels like a real achievement and it’s lovely for our work to have been recognised.

Well done Team Numiko!

Numiko is in the running for two prizes at this year’s Revolution Awards, having left a lasting impression on the judges, made up by an expert panel of the most influential people in digital marketing.

The site we built for Edinburgh Festivals has been voted a finalist in the ‘Leisure & Travel’ category and the online channel we built for ITVs I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here 2009, has been voted a finalist in the ‘Media & Entertainment’ category.

The Awards will take place at a glitzy ceremony on the 8th April 2010 at Grosvenor House in London.

Following straight on from the site we built late last year for ITVs ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’, we were given the job of building an all singing and dancing site for another of ITVs show’s ‘Dancing On Ice’ which launched last week.

The ‘Dancing on Ice’ website is a hub of activity, keeping devoted fans up to date in-between shows and is designed to give the ITV team full control over the content so it’s always current. There’s lots to do on the site; devotees can watch behind the scene video clips, add Twibbons to their facebook and twitter profiles, chat during and after each show, leave comments, check scores and read the latest tweets from the celebrities coaches, superstar skating duo Torvil and Dean.

With our knowledge and experience of working with ITV and this genre of show, we know what the audience really want and feel extremely excited about what we’ve created for ‘Dancing On Ice’. Check it out by visiting http://dancingonice.itv.com/2010/

Hot on the heels of the online channel for this season ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’; ITV.com has asked us to develop the new web site for the upcoming series of ‘Dancing on Ice’‚ which airs early in the New Year.

It’s great to be able to continue to work with the ITV.com and the ITV Studio teams in London. We were really pleased with the ‘I’m a Celebrity…’ site and it has proved fantastically successful. We have a great underlying product and an equally strong relationship that ITV have shown they intend to make the most of. This new commission is the best sort of expression of how pleased the client was with both the work delivered and how we responded as an agency to the very tight deadlines working on multi-platform content can bring. Broadcast schedules don’t slip – and neither can we on these kinds of projects. We and the client know we will deliver something equally special for ‘Dancing on Ice’ in January.

Kate Bradshaw, Deputy MD and Head of Online Commissioning for ITV.com said:  “We’re really looking forward to working with Numiko on yet another ITV entertainment giant in the New Year.  Dancing on Ice will demand a website that fully engages users and reflects the buzz created around these event shows . With the success of the this years I’m A Celebrity site fresh in mind we’re sure Numiko are the best people to help us deliver this.”

Sorry for the bad photo- but considering Nat was on a treadmill at the time, I think it deserves a post, don’t you?
