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

It’s necessary, and vital […]

Building houses and selling homes

26th May 2015

That tin of beans I bought last week has appreciated 16.5% in value since I purchased it, meaning that, while it cost 62p to buy, it’s now worth 72.23p. Based on how much richer that’s made me feel, I’m going to go on a wild spending spree, thus bolstering the wider economy. That’s how it […]

Why email marketing still works and how to make it work better

6th May 2015

The symbols are a bit of a giveaway, really. The symbols for emails, that is. Envelopes. Paperclips. The kind of pre digital stationery that you’ll fairly soon only be able to see in a glass case in a museum. Ally this to the fact that most people over the age of around 25 can remember […]

When is a hotel not a hotel? When it’s much more

14th April 2015

(Image courtesy of Holiday Inn Solihull) As the politicians from various parties argue about just how much of any economic upturn is filtering down to ‘hard working families’ (single people, or those of us who are undeniably lazy, don’t seem to figure in this particular debate) one sector which genuinely and unarguably appears to be […]
