Merry Christmas – from the Cuckoos!

16th December 2015

The Christmas cheer is particularly strong at The Old Bank. There are half-devoured advent calendars on every desk (excluding Emma our Office Manager, as she has eaten hers already…) festive songs on the radio, and we have even swapped our usual pink Christmas tree for a real one (which has our secret Santa presents perched […]

Salvaging a corporate reputation

24th November 2015

It’s probably fair to say that the general perception of large organisations in general – the banks, big business, the government itself – took a severe battering amidst the financial meltdown of 2007/8 and has yet to recover. Ever since the crash, an event during which the very banks with whom we entrusted our money had […]

Halloween at The Old Bank

21st October 2015

Here at the Cuckoo HQ AKA The Old Bank, we love a bit of Halloween – pumpkins, sweets and spontaneous baking from a few members of staff and of course a spot of dancing…who remembers our attempt at The Thriller in 2010… This year we decided to do Halloween the way history intended, […]

A digital breakthrough for Cuckoo!

16th October 2015

One thing which anyone who works within the digital industry learns pretty quickly – usually some time before the first coffee break on the day they start their job – is that things move rapidly. Extremely rapidly. The speed with which technologies change, improve or become defunct is such that yesterday’s cutting edge website, online […]

Happy new September

11th September 2015

Happy New Year. Forget the actual New Year. Who wants to celebrate the actual New Year? For one thing you’ve got a hangover, and for another thing, you’ve got a Hangover. The first hangover may well be a run of the mill hangover, brought on primarily by the fact that consuming vast amounts of alcohol […]

Top marketing tips for the property market

19th August 2015

Scanning the headlines detailing soaring property prices, particularly in London, complete with lurid tales of a lock up in Tottenham being listed at half a million pound (when we wrote that, it was a wildly exaggerated invention, by the time you read this it’s probably a calmly understated account of an actual case), it can […]

We have something to reveal…

4th August 2015

You want branding that hits home. Design that isn’t shy. Marketing with a hint of cheek (or is that chic…?) Four more companies have decided to put their image in the capable hands of Cuckoo Design this year. Take a look at the work we do and you’ll soon understand why. Some might call that […]

Reviving trust in the finance sector

21st July 2015

The average person, if they’re being honest, will probably admit that they don’t really like thinking about money. How much they’ve got, how much they need, what’s coming in compared to what’s going out, what they’re owed, what they owe……it’s a range of topics many people make a point of avoiding. It’s necessary, and vital […]
