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.”

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.

All you need is love: lessons in relationship-building

03.08.09 | Posted in Think by Toby_S / No Comments >

November 1982, NSPCC disco, Worplesdon, Surrey.

I, along with 250 teenagers, have downed the last of the fruit punch. Outside there’s an army of estate cars with irritated parents waiting for the party to end. Inside, I have at last summoned enough courage to prise myself off the wall and shuffle onto the dancefloor where, to the sounds of René and Renate’s ‘Save Your Love’, I manage to score my first kiss. Blimey!

Sadly, Melissa (how could I forget) and I never formed a relationship. No matter how much pocket money I expended on red stationery and silver pens, my billets-doux were never returned. It was an early lesson in relationships.
