Natural England commissioned tes to produce a 20-page biodiversity case study report as part of the Natural Economy Northwest project. The target audience for the report comprised policymakers and economists. Natural England looked to us for an innovative design that focused on the socioeconomic benefits of the work being done by the organisation. We proposed a layout that was very high impact and made optimum use of some outstanding images.

The report was completed to a high standard in just three weeks, including writing and subediting of the text; setting up, art directing and shooting of the photography; and design, layout and proofreading. Natural England was very pleased with the results and commissioned display materials to promote the publication.

The BP Operations Manual was work that came to us via our parent company, RSK Group plc, which had produced an environmental operations manual for the oil company’s North Sea business unit. The call came at the last minute to present the manual in a more visually attractive manner than could be achieved using Microsoft Word. The result is a professional booklet that reflects the importance of the messages it contains.

Fortis Escrow, part of Fortis Bank Nederland, asked tes to develop a carbon-trading game for delegates at the 2009 Carbon Expo in Barcelona, Spain. Working to tight timescales, our new-media team created an entertaining and compelling product that simulates and disseminates information about the carbon-trading business.

Based on the attendees’ positive reactions, Fortis Escrow is now adapting the concept for internal and external awareness-raising initiatives. The game was shortlisted for a prestigious EDIE (Environmental Data Interactive Exchange) award.

After realising that consumers lacked a definitive resource for the latest news and reviews about green cars, we created the award-winning Green-Car-Guide.com, the first UK-based website of its kind. The website has gained considerable media attention and has positioned the website’s creator, Paul Clarke, as one of the UK’s foremost authorities on environmentally conscious motoring.

When the director of a major water consultancy was asked to deliver a keynote speech, she asked us for assistance. One of our senior writers met her and, during the informal chat, developed a feeling for her style and personality, and learned about the audience demographics and the likely mood of the event. The writer discussed the speech content and later developed case studies that supported the key arguments. The speech was written and a slide pack was created to support it. The director was delighted with the speech and reported good audience feedback.
