Last month we made a big splash as part of our Challenge 2012 campaign. This month we’re doing something slightly less terrifying. With the Diamond Jubilee approaching, we’re donning our aprons for a royal bake off. We’re going to be Queen for a Day.
You may have heard a lot of hoo-ha recently about the ‘cookie law’ – the latest round of changes to the EU’s Directive of Privacy and Electronic Communications. The changes introduce a legal requirement for website owners to obtain users’ consent before using cookies on their machine. This has big implications for every website that uses cookies – in practice, just about all of them.
In 2010, we launched our free, accessible media player. Having researched, built, tested and used the player on a range of client work, we wanted to use our experience and make it available to everyone. So that’s what we did, and the response has been fantastic.

On Saturday, a team of terribly brave divers from The Workshop made their way to Ponds Forge to complete the Make a splash! mission, part of our Challenge 2012 campaign.
They did a wonderful job and we’re very proud of them, especially Craig, Paul and Sam who breathed deep and found the courage to leap from the highest board – a giant 10m high! You can watch our three champion divers in action on YouTube or in the embedded players below. You can also enjoy pictures of the whole team in action on Flickr.
This Saturday (31 March), we’re heading to Ponds Forge in Sheffield to attempt ‘The Big Splash!’ Part of our Challenge 2012 campaign, our task will be to jump off the highest diving board that we dare – up to a terrifying 10 metres!
