FremantleMedia Enterprises is working with 999 Design following a four-way pitch. 999’s first task has been to create a “fresher look” for Fremantle’s Buyers’ Book, which showcases the company’s TV content. Its brief was to “overhaul the approach and recreate the Buyers’ Book to reflect the scope of FME’s offering to licensing, distribution and home entertainment around the world”. Status Digital has given Sheerluxe.com a comprehensive visual and functional design overhaul to modernise and improve its appearance and usability. The new design work has boosted conversions to partner sites, directly attributable to the new presentation and accessibility of the content in areas such as the magazine and boutique sections.

The ‘vajazzling’ craze made popular by The Only Way is Essex has inspired a new campaign in Dudley to break the taboo surrounding smear tests.

It would provide them with a range of tools to enable them to get the most from their membership, and would encourage and reward them for subscribing year on year with the addition of a collectible yellow pencil.
