Proactive vs Reactive Marketing: Avoiding an epic fail

24th February 2016

Proactive marketing is strategic, long term and actually pretty difficult. It demands that a business puts time and effort into planning its marketing campaigns far into the future, and into creating a distinct and effective niche for itself. It means actually sitting down and drawing up (which is to say writing down) this plan, and […]

Cuckoo welcomes a delicious new client!

20th January 2016

It’s no secret that the Cuckoos are what you might call a bunch of food deviants; Cooking, endlessly scrolling through Buzzfeed food posts (some of us even read menus for fun) and of course most importantly eating!

Help to Buy ISA: Helping make houses into homes

19th January 2016

No matter what else happens in the wider economy, the housing market has always been seen as representing a haven of stability.

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

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.
