Many-a-client asks for something different in their project briefs – we want bespoke, nothing off-the-shelf please. Quite understandable. They want visits to their experiences to be memorable, not only for the things people learn, but also the means by which they learn.

In my role as a Digital Producer it’s my duty to play with apps, iPhones, iPads and any bit of kit I can get my hands on. I regularly download apps and look out for innovative uses of technology to help inspire the work we do here at Imagemakers. Now I’ve justified spending many hours [...]
