News for December 2008

Last week, we joined with our good friends at STAN for a night out to celebrate Christmas a couple of weeks early.  We hit the festive markets in town for some beer and food, then to a couple of Manchester hosteleries to see out the night.  We've made it into the office today, but not sure everyone there will have escaped unscathed!

We've also got a Christmas get-together with everyone from the Mill tomorrow, and we'll probably head out with the other guys to a local pub afterwards!

Anyway, Merry Christmas from us here at doodledoMOTION, and here's to a great 2009!

The launch of www.citylife.co.uk has heralded the definitive guide to what's going on in Manchester. With reviews on restaurants, gigs, bars, clubs, theatre cinema and days out, you're unlikely to find such a comprehensive listing anywhere on the web.

doodledoMOTION were appointed to produce a tv commercial for the launch of the site and are proud to be associated with what will surely become a leading brand in the region backed by M.E.N Media.

The audio from the commercial has also be used to advertise the website on various North West radio stations, so it's certainly been quite a comprehensive advertising campaign.

doodledoMOTION have just completed a new promotional video for Manchester-based group, thebandwithnoname.

The band - who were launched in 2002 by Innervation Trust - have recently made a slight adjustment to their line-up, and now include a live guitarist and drummer.  This new video showcases the band, pulling together footage from many of their televised gigs, as well as specially shot material, and has been mixed with motion graphics to convey the band's achievements.

doodledoMOTION have produced a short documentary for M.E.N Media Group, highlighting the success of their "I Love Me" campaign for the NHS.

On average, people in Greater Manchester will die earlier than almost anywhere else in England. And on top of that, the gap in life expectancy between some of the poorer people in Greater Manchester and the wealthiest is not getting any smaller.

The Association of Greater Manchester Primary Care Trusts have teamed up with the M.E.N. to challenge everyone in the area to live a healthier life.

The "I Love Me" campaign has used, to great effect, the unique positioning of the M.E.N media group in the North West to help the message reach a huge audience.
