Sunday Publishing site picked out by web awards sites

01.09.10 | Posted in News by Phil / No Comments >

Please excuse the perhaps rather self-indulgent post, but we thought it be worth mentioning that the Sunday Publishing site has been getting quite a bit of coverage across the internet recently. As a result we had our busiest traffic day ever this week.

It could be down to the fact that we’re getting heavily featured on some good web awards sites. These include:

Design Shack
The Favourite Website Awards (thefwa.com)

Web Creme

CSS Mayo

Most Inspired
Design Fridge

Top Site Tally

Nodus Awards

A lot of the comments are about the clear, simple and functional design. Great to hear.

Sunday maps out new magazine strategy for The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors

27.07.10 | Posted in News by Matt_B / No Comments >

The Sunday team are delighted to announce that we will be publishing the international membership magazine for The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), following a competitive pitch.

The magazine, which we’re relaunching as Modus, will be published 10 times a year. Modus will enhance RICS’ reputation as the pre-eminent professional body for surveying by combining thought-leadership content and practical advice to stimulate and shape debate.

Ian Fussey, RICS Head of Member Communications, said, “We are looking to maximise the potential of the magazine as a vital communication channel for the membership. Sunday showed us they understood the challenges we face and came up with an incredibly strong proposition that exceeded the brief on every level.”

Toby (our MD) said: “We’re tremendously excited about working with RICS on this project. The magazine will feature big name writers with provocative viewpoints and look like nothing else in its sector. It plays to our strengths as an agency, supplying excellent creative solutions within a strong integrated communications framework.”

Sunday Publishing work singled out by Creative Review

06.07.10 | Posted in News by Ollie / No Comments >

TT37_Future_1

Each year, leading UK mag Creative Review’s Illustration Annual showcases the very best work by illustrators. And we’re chuffed to bits that this year they’ve included one of our stories from Today Tomorrow, the customer magazine that we publish for Toyota.

The story entitled “A Day In The Life… 2109-Style” looked ahead 100 years to a typical day-in-the-life. The piece weaves together the technological innovations that we could be using on a day to day basis – some from Toyota, some from other companies.

We went for a comic-strip approach, and persuaded the quite fantastic Tavis Coburn to create the look.

Digital publishing solution casts new light on World War II

26.04.10 | Posted in News by David / No Comments >

The headline of the Guardian on April 26 stated “Online project to cast new light on second world war”. The Sunday Times also ran this article.

They’re both talking about the imminent launch of WW2history.com, our ground-breaking digital publishing project for renowned historian Laurence Rees. It’s designed to be an accessible route to WW2 resources, with regularly updated content including film footage, witness statements and an interactive timeline.

WW2history.com is also revolutionary because it marks a move toward paid-for web content. As more and more publishers recognise the value of taking this type of content straight to web – without diluting their online presence with third-party advertising – it’s a trend that’s set to continue.

We took on the project back in February 2009, and have since spec’ed out the design, functionality, security and hosting issues for the site, leaving Laurence free to work with some of the academic world’s leading historians to bring together its exclusive content.

It’s been a fantastic experience for the Sunday team. Keep an eye on the blog for more stories as the site launches, including an interview with Laurence.

Worth a thousand words

Gavin's answer to OBC

There are a few questions that are notoriously difficult to answer. “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” obviously tops the list of puzzlers, but it’s closely followed by that age-old conundrum, “How do you illustrate a subject like outcome-based commissioning?”

When we set up Sunday, we were keen to support a charitable organisation – and we’re thrilled to have got our chance with The Royal Marsden’s quarterly RM magazine. The 8,000-circulation title is distributed to patients, staff and members, and showcases the outstanding work the hospital does, treating 40,000 patients each year and carrying out vital research into the causes of cancer. We’re delighted to be publishing the title as part of our CSR commitment.

We won the big one!

Agency_of_the_year‘It can be inspiring when the little guy wins out.’ So started the article in today’s Marketing magazine announcing that we’ve won Publishing Agency of the Year. Other highlights included, ‘The judges were particularly impressed by the agency’s prowess in terms of thought leadership and its ability to deliver big results on limited budgets.’ And, our favourite, ‘There is ample evidence that Sunday’s ideas and creativity can more than match the bigger players.’ Now for some (more) Champagne!
