The sky\u2019s the limit for Huddersfield, UK design and marketing firm The Design Bank.<\/p>\n
The company, based at Old Leeds Road, has landed the account for Virgin Balloon Flights \u2013 which was formed on the back of Sir Richard Branson\u2019s trans-Atlantic hot air balloon flight in 1987.<\/p>\n
Since then, the company has grown to become the biggest hot air balloon company in the UK, offering flights in more than 100 locations throughout the UK.<\/p>\n
The Design Bank, which is led by managing director Richard Carter and creative director John Robinson, won the contract following a closely-fought pitch between four creative agencies from across the UK.<\/p>\n
Part of the brief was to create a 20th anniversary branding with Virgin Balloon Flights\u2019 2014 campaign. Before a decision could be made, all proposals had to be submitted to the Virgin.com\u2019s group communication officer in Geneva.<\/p>\n
With the brief to care for all their marketing, The Design Bank\u2019s first task is to re-design the Virgin Balloon Flights website.<\/p>\n
The site will be built on a full e-commerce platform, with prime consideration to its optimisation and responsiveness for use across all mobile applications.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for Virgin Balloon Flights said: \u201cJohn and his team are always a pleasure to work with.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo deadline is too tight and no brief too ambitious. The Design Bank love to be challenged and have come up with some wonderfully creative concepts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Design Bank work on many brands across the UK and overseas in areas including branding, packaging, exhibitions work, PR, advertising and online work.<\/p>\n
