And breathe…

Monday, March 29th, 2010

It’s been a hectic few months here at Mentor with barely enough time to work on client projects let alone attend to our blog. We’ve been putting our web development skills to good use creating websites for several new clients, if our schedules anything to go by then it looks like the recession is very much over!

We hope to be showing off several new client websites soon but in the meantime I’ve just seen this fantastic viral game spoofing the BA strike.Willie Walsh

It’s a great example of opportunistic, attention grabbing fun by the agency (T-enterprise based in Scotland) and I’m sure it’ll send plenty of work their way.

For further info on the ways in which your business could make use of flash games, 3D flash and viral marketing, pop us an email we’ll be only too glad to meet up for a hot beverage of your choice.
