Some of our Clients
From films to fashion, music to mobiles and sports to stadiums, we’ve made awesome shit with a range of awesome people and had a lot fun along the way. If that sounds good, then chances are we’d love to make some awesome shit with you too.
We’ve worked with over 40 international artists and musicians and have been involved in the launch of 6 #1 Singles and 11 #1 Albums.
Who we are
-
Tom
Chief Chin Stroker
Lives in New York, specifically in Williamsburg… which is actually in Brooklyn… but also in New York State. It’s all very confusing.
-
Paul
Hardware Maniac
Paul is our resident hardware expert. Whether it’s giant bottles that capture and remix ambient sounds or phone controlled christmas trees, Paul can pretty much make anything.
-
Rob
Crayola Operator
Can drum some serious drumz and has provided musical entertainment for over 24 weddings.
-
Sophie
Wannabe Shakespearean
Has known Tom for longer than anyone at WMAS. And, in some ways, is also responsible for Syd and Tom meeting at Cardiff. Double Swoon.
-
Syd
Keyboard Enthusiast
Syd loves to hate The Apprentice. This is often demonstrated by throwing his socks at his TV in frustration mid episode.
What we do
-
Web
Web stuff!! Yeah, the internetz. It’s awesome isn’t it. And it’s not just websites for computers. It’s on phones too. Hell, it’s even in objects. But if you want to know if we make “websites” - then yes, we do.
-
Apps
Apps - we make those. Web apps, mobile apps, social apps, fun apps, serious apps, gaming apps, fitness apps, music apps. Any kind of apps.
-
Mobile
In theory we’ve covered mobile with apps and web. But you can also do a lot with more native mobile functionality like SMS or calling. And we can do all that too. Just ask La Roux. Or watch her music video, ‘Please Don’t Tell’ and call her yourself.
-
Experiences
Experiences are basically things that we couldn’t work out how to bucket in the other menus. Often because they encompass a number of things. In short though, it’s normally event or physical space related, like turning pop-up stores into streaming spots, or creating a real life digital record store, or building an art piece for the Barbican and Tate Modern.
-
Products
Products are tools and specific things we’ve made for ourselves, and then realised they’re pretty cool and ended up releasing them publically. Like AwesomeWall. AwesomeWall collects, analyses and displays things people are saying and content people are sharing with specific keywords or hashtags. Or snowbuddy, the most social and fun winter sports app ever made. We made that too.
-
Hardware
We love getting our hands dirty with physical things, prototypes, proof of concepts using arduinos or custom hardware. Making things that people can *actually* play with.
-
LOLs
We love LOLs. LOLs are LOLs. Like when we made Harlem Shake Roulette for LOLs and it was seen by 125,000 people from over 9,181 different cities around the world. Or when we got fed up of all the debate between whether Vine or Instagram was best for videos, so we pitted the two against each other in VinevsInstagram.com which won us a Webby. That was pretty LOLs too.
