City Co
February 2013
We've been supporting CityCo since early 2012 as they've been consulting many of Manchester's retailers about the potential of bringing a Business Improvement District (BID) to the city centre. The great news is that in November last year, retailers voted for the BID and we're now working alongside CityCo to get ready for its official launch in April. Our work has focused around retailer communications so far (we've written and designed the early BID materials, business plan and mailers to retailers), and we're excited to be involved with something that is going to bring such benefits to Manchester's centre.

Beatles Web
February 2013
We have evolved the online brand and identity for The Beatles Story visitor attraction in Liverpool, improving the look and feel of the website.The design has been based around iconic moments in The Beatles’ history and includes a timeline, which starts with the birth of Brian Epstein in 1934 and continues through to 2010 with an event at the European Peace Monument in Liverpool, to commemorate what would have been John Lennon’s 70th birthday. The website also includes a visitor planner Beyond Beatles to allow people to extend their visit in Liverpool. The site also includes the fab 4 store where people can buy a range of gifts and merchandise directly. Find out more www.beatlesstory.com
Eden Rivers Trust
February 2013
Over the past four months we've been working with Eden Rivers Trust, based near Penrith, to produce their manifesto 'Saving Eden' which defines the future priorities for the river catchment – an area of some 850 square miles. Working with the Eden team and Rebanks Consulting, Creative Concern has produced three key documents - the manifesto, a document outlining the priorities for next three years and a large-scale map to plot the pressures in the coming years. Presented in a slipcase the documents will be the calling card for all those with a stake in the future of the Eden River. Saving Eden documents contain portrait and contextual shots by Jill Jennings and will be supported by a film, also produced by Creative Concern. Find out more: http://trust.edenriverstrust.org.uk/
