A Night At The Theatre.

The team ventured out of Moo HQ last night for a spot of socialising. As part of the Future Everything festival that’s currently taking place in Manchester, this month’s (in)famous Northern Digitals meet-up had switched location to Oxford Road’s Contact Theatre. We’d been meaning to attend a Northern Digitals meet for ages, and once we got there we saw what all the fuss was about. Contact was packed out, and especially crowded around the bar, as you’d expect from a digital industry event. We are a thirsty lot, aren’t we?

We spent a lot of time with the Fudge gang, mostly discussing robots, occasionally touching on the morals of training a monkey to clean your flat, and once or twice actually talking about work. It was also grand to get a chance to talk to Jake Smith. A director at JP74, he was doing a good job of convincing our very own Duncan Green to have a bash at some skateboarding. Sounds like trouble.

As with all events of this nature, the variety of the people who attended was an excellent reminder of how diverse and vibrant the online creative / marketing industry is, especially around Manchester. Schedule permitting we’ll be at the next Northern Digitals meet, and should be attending a few more of the Future Everything events as well.  Come and say Hi to us if you happen to be at any of the same events; keep an eye on our twitter (@moomarketing) to see what we’ll be attending and when.

Everyone’s A Winner.

The Manchester Mosquitoes’ first game of the season (and their first game since signing their sponsorship deal with Moo Marketing) went very well indeed. They won a convincing victory in their first game, beating the Sheffield team 15-16-106 to 1-8-14: the Aussie rules scoring system is pretty complex!

The Mozzies also played a social game against Wolverhampton Wolves. And a very social day it was for all involved; there was a good turn-out, and everyone enjoyed Burnage Rugby Club’s excellent facilities. For the players and those of us who weren’t running around like lunatics on the pitch, there was a BBQ and a post-match Raffle to enjoy. Oh, and a well stocked bar…

Aussie rules is an excellent spectator sport, and the Mozzies made us very welcome. We’re hoping that their winning streak carries on, and we’re definitely looking forward to their next match.

The Mosquitoes’ next home game is on the 12th of June – two days after the Big Chip awards – and we’d like to extend an invitation to anyone who fancies watching some full contact sport and having a (hopefully not full contact) chat. For those who’ll be attending the Big Chip awards, there should be enough time to recover between events.

We’ll be posting blogs and tweeting (tweets will be tagged #ManchesterMozzies) with more information about the next Manchester Mosquitoes game closer to the date. Until then, another big congratulations to the Mozzies, and a big thank-you to everyone who was there on the day.

Big News About Big Chip.

The Big Chip awards have been recognising the best of the digital industry in the North-West for over a decade, and received a record amount of entries this year. We’re shortlisted in the “Best Freelancer/ Micro Enterprise” category, one of the 15 categories shortlisted by Big Chip’s expert judging panel and announced today on the Big Chip 2010 website.

The Big Chip awards are always competitive and always focussed on recognising and rewarding the best of the best in our industry. That’s why they’re such prestigious awards, and why we’re so happy to have been shortlisted. Although it does mean that we’re up against some pretty stiff competition…

PS: Congratulations to all of the other agencies and freelancers who made the shortlist. Feels pretty good, doesn’t it?

On The Ball: Moo Marketing & Manchester Mosquitoes.

Moo Marketing are pleased to announce that they’re now the official sponsor of the Manchester Mosquitoes Australian Rules Football Club.

Formed in 2005, the Mosquitoes represent the Greater Manchester area in the Australian Football League’s Central and North West division. Since then the Mosquitoes have gone from strength to strength, helping to set up AFLCNW and then establishing themselves as major players in the league.

Duncan Green, Director of Moo Marketing, is excited about getting involved with a community sports team. “The Manchester Mosquitoes are an excellent team, and Aussie Rules Football is becoming increasingly popular. Aussie Rules Football is a fun, competitive sport, and the Mosquitoes are a fun, competitive team; we’re exactly the same at Moo Marketing. We’re delighted to be sponsoring a team in our local area.”

Matt Shelton, the Manchester Mosquitoes’ Coach, had this to say about the sponsorship deal: “I’m delighted to be associated with Moo Marketing for 2010. Since our club started we have been gradually building a brand in the Manchester area, offering an exciting and fast-paced alternative to other sports. Their support will enable us to optimise training facilities and equipment, fundamental components in helping us achieve our goal of winning the division championship in 2010.”

This sponsorship deal, and the financial security it brings, is a great start to the team’s season. The first AFLCNW fixture is on the 8th of May, at the Manchester Mosquitoes’ home ground, Burnage Rugby Football Club.
