The WHAM Agency works closely with telecommunications giant, Three, around the world in areas as diverse as brand, environments and digital. Part of our remit is to bring the operating businesses together to share information and learnings, and where possible, to work together on joint projects. In London last week we ran the Three Digital Forum, which brought together UX experts from across the business. We worked on country updates, digital workshops, and, of course, we hosted a sedate dinner near Hutchison Whampoa’s European HQ in Battersea. As everyone knows, this is where the real business of discussing how we work together occurs.
Going from strength to strength, offices at the Indian Telecomms giant Aircel have been abuzz with excitement this week, with news that they have won an award for retail excellence. Having worked with them closely for nearing two years, we have helped increase their customer base from 8 million to a staggering 30 million people. With such a success rate, our work with Aircel continues to be hugely rewarding.
In this digital world it’s nice to see that many are clinging tight to the analogue past. Indeed, amongst the analog-o-rati, the new status symbols are bespoke paper note books, pens, even that 80s icon, the Filofax. With the closing of the last Polaroid instant film factories last year, it should come as no surprise that there is a scramble to re-invent the closest thing the analogue world ever had to digital “instantness”.

WHAM was very happy to receive the first batch of immaculately packaged Ecosol Powersticks in the studio today.
Hype around the product is growing all the time and even prelaunch the Powerstick already has a fan base of devoted users, including the President of the United States, Barack Obama, and various senior members of his administration. The Powerstick is currently in production and will be coming to the UK in 2009. WHAM created the brand identity and retail marketing materials, including display units and customer literature.
