Midpoint 18 Website Launches
Drumbeat has designed and launched a new website on behalf of Pochin Developments Limited, to promote their landmark Midpoint 18 development.
Drumbeat was appointed following presentations from 5 agencies. Brian Reay, Property Director for Pochin said: "Drumbeat's creative approach and technical expertise impressed us in their presentation and now the site is live I'm pleased to say we are equally as pleased with the finished product."
The site has been developed to showcase the diverse and bustling nature of the emerging community of businesses at Midpoint 18 and highlight the existing and future phases of the development.
Andy Heggs Creative Director for Drumbeat said: "We've created a website that does the location justice. Whilst there's planning consent for future phases, it's also already an established, successful and bustling business park and we really wanted this to come through in the design and functionality of the site. We've also introduced a quick search function to help visitors quickly establish if Midpoint 18 suits their accommodation requirements."

Drumbeat Presents: The Peel Group Portfolio
Following a winning pitch, we've designed and produced a new portfolio brochure to showcase the vision and varied businesses of our new client The Peel Group. Peel is a major player in many sectors, including retail, ports, real estate, energy and media, where it owns MediaCityUK at Salford Quays and Pinewood Shepperton Studios in Buckinghamshire.
The brochure has been designed to give an introduction to The Peel Group's wide range of assets, investments and partnerships, and provide an overview of Peel's current key projects.
Paul Newman, director of communications, The Peel Group, said: "Peel is a modern, dynamic, forward-looking group of businesses. The new portfolio brochure reaffirms the integrity of the Peel brand and the centre-spread feature does an excellent job of promoting our support and ambition for Atlantic Gateway."
At a handy size, the brochure is designed to be easy-to-use, but the carefully selected paper stocks and finishes help to create a very high quality feel and a sense of understated assurance. With many of Peel's stakeholders and partners beyond the North West and indeed the UK, we've also created an interactive e-brochure for online distribution.

Open For Business
Hot off the press, some new work for our friends Manchester Business School at the University of Manchester. Their publications are a real pleasure to work on. With some well established design guidelines and a liberal use of metallics and foil finishes to the print work, the end results are always satisfying!
