Adrianne Scott, an experienced Internet Marketeer and a part of Enigma's team, is enthusiastic about the potential of this form of marketing - "Increasing your site's visibility is vital as the Internet is becoming the first place people turn to do business. For the vast majority of sites, good Internet Marketing can increase visitors many fold and is very often the difference between those sites that are considered hugely successful and the many otherwise excellent sites that languish around the web unloved and never to realise their full potential"

This is the first time that Internet Marketing services have been offered to organisations that are not already clients of Enigmas and the move represents a significant extension to the breadth of services Enigma can provide.

Steve Grainger, Enigma's Managing Director commented "Enigma's reputation has been built on creating great websites, but so far only a few lucky existing clients have benefited from our Internet Marketing skills. By investing in this new Internet Marketing team, I'm pleased that we'll now be able to help a far greater number of clients realise the full potential of their online presence"

Following the North England Innovation Lab, Enigma is delighted to have been commissioned to work with the BBC’s Nations and Regions team on a series of groundbreaking ideas to deliver online content to regional audiences.

The BBC’s Innovation Labs are a series of creative workshops at which digital agencies work with BBC commissioners to develop innovative ideas which will go on to form part of the bbc.co.uk website.

Attendance at the Innovation Labs is by invitation only. To get their invite, New Media agencies were required to submit project ideas which had to be based on a series of briefs drawn out of the BBC's internet strategies.

Each idea is was then assessed by a panel of BBC commissioners and the ten best ideas/agencies from each region (London, South, North & Scotland) were invited to the week long Innovation Lab to further refine their ideas into a working prototype.

Nick Salloway, business development manager at Enigma Interactive, said: “Enigma’s attendance at the Innovation Labs provided a perfect opportunity to test our creative metal. We’re now looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the BBC”.

Enigma has been commissioned by the Basic Skills Agency to create two exciting new interactive games which will form a key part of the Read a Million Words in Wales campaign.

The Read a Million Words campaign is a key part of the Government’s Basic Skills Strategy and is being run by the Basic Skills Agency on behalf of the Welsh Assembly. Its aim is to encourage Welsh primary schoolchildren to develop positive attitudes to words and reading by encouraging them to not just read words in books but to also notice and count all the words that surround them every day in school, at home and everywhere else

Ultimately, it’s hoped the new game will form a key part of the campaign by providing a virtual world in which children can collect words and help to contribute to their class and their school becoming work millionaires.

Attendance at the Innovation Labs is invitation only. To get an invite, New Media agencies are required to submit project ideas which must be based on a series of briefs drawn out of the BBC's internet strategies.

Each idea is then assessed by a panel of BBC commissioners and the ten best ideas/agencies from each region (London, South, North & Scotland) are invited to the week long Innovation Lab to further refine their ideas into a working prototype.

The BBC received over 500 applications for this year’s Labs events from companies across the UK and Enigma is therefore delighted to be one of the successful ten from the North England Region to be going forward.

The ECO Design Challenge aims to get Year 8 students around the North East of England thinking how better design could have an impact on both their lives and the environment and to channel the imagination and creativity into redesigning a part of their school in a way that makes it work better for them and the environment.

Working closely with the Dott07 Enigma was able to design two innovative interactive resources which help children understand the concept of a carbon footprint while also learning about the environmental impact of their everyday lives.

The resources Enigma created include the Eco Flash Calculator and the ‘Drag & Drop’ Classroom Planner both of which are designed to encourage children to design and implement new systems and products that support a sustainable future.

Dott’07 currently have 84 schools signed up to the ECO Design Challenge ranging from locally based schools in the North East to schools in Aberdeen, Somerset and even one in Brazil.
