After a year in production, we’ve just put live an online community for Legal Support Network. With tens of thousands of pages of content, it’s somewhat of a monster. But this is easily handled by the Drupal platform, enabling the LSN editorial team complete control over the content and community online.

No agencies. Yes we use them, no you can’t be on our PSL. We’re not looking to expand it.
Have a look at our a new website launch for IBA Dosimetry. Based in Germany and with offices worldwide, IBA develops and markets leading edge technologies, pharmaceuticals and tailor-made solutions for healthcare with a focus on cancer diagnosis and therapy.
This large website was built on the Drupal platform to promote their dosimetry offering.
Elidh McDowall, Visual Communications Specialist from IBA Dosimetry said this about us:
“I really must express that I’ve found the creative, technical and management support & attention to detail which this project has received throughout the process to be fantastic – Catch have continuously delivered a service at a standard which I’d only hoped to imagine when I first began seeking a new web agency back in March this year.”
- Elidh McDowall, IBA

Since winning IBA Dosimetry as a client back in March 2011, we continue to work with their international offices on new projects, alongside expanding the Dosimetry website.

We’re looking for developers with great Drupal knowledge and the php/mySQL, XHTML/CSS skills to be a great all-rounder.
We have a couple development positions open:
We have developed Drupal sites for some of the UK’s (and the worlds!) largest companies including these recent ones:
www.primefocusworld.com (they worked on Avatar!)
www.iq-student-accommodation.co.uk (great fun on this project!)
www.steerdaviesgleave.com (multi language global site)
www.wates.co.uk (the UKs leading construction company)
We’re interviewing immediately, so please do get in touch on jobs@catchdigital.com with the following:
Basically, you’ll be doing open source web development with a heavy Drupal slant, work in a team with other creative/technical people and be able to make the role your own if you’re senior, or learn form the best if you are a junior.
Recruiters: We have an approved PSL. We do not discuss recruitment on the telephone with any agency not on our PSL. To be considered for our PSL you need to send over your details to the same email address as above, and WE’LL call you. Don’t call us. Sorry to be a pain, but you know how unscrupulous some of you can be. (Not you reading this, am sure you’re lovely).
No remote working.
With all of these new clients of ours, we thought it would be a good idea to add a few more members to the Catch team. As of Monday the 25th of October we’re happy to welcome two new people – Said and Anna – to each take a seat in our office at Archer Street Studios in Soho.
Said has a BA in software engineering from The University of Westminster, and comes to us from another well known London agency. Not only is this guy a very talented backend-developer, but he also holds a proficiency in Drupal – Catch’s favourite CMS. Said is now eager to learn more about frontend programming, and will be joining our development team.
Anna comes from a background in project management for system development, marketing and PR. Having previously studied at Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm (where she comes from), she received her MA degree in interactive media from LCC, University of the Arts London, this September. Anna is joining us an intern on the Client Services team (she is also nominated for a BIMA at present… wow).
Welcome!
Working in a fast-moving industry with ever-changing technologies, we feel it’s most important to stay on top of what’s going on outside of our office. It isn’t always enough to read blogs(!), check the latest tweets and read the hottest news, but to also attend an event every now and then in order to gain useful insights and updates from specialists in various digital fields.
So this is what we just did. Catch attended The Future of Web Apps Conference held in London on the 4-6 October. Three whole days of interesting talks by experts! Safe to say, this iPhone app we’re working on for Snazaroo (to be launched before Christmas), will not be our last.
Are you a Web Developer with Drupal experience interested in a job that pays you to work with like-minded technical types on a vast range of web projects? Good! Read on…
You’ll have 4+ years’ solid (post-graduation) professional experience in building commercial sites and have enthusiasm and an aptitude for learning more. Perhaps you are a Middleweight Developer in a larger London digital agency with your eye on taking the next step up to lead a team?

Recruitment agencies take note: if we’re not already working with you, we’re not interested.
We’re on the look-out for a supremely talented graduate keen to take up an internship in our Client Services department.
Don’t be fooled by the mug, you’ll certainly not be making tea 8 hours a day here at Catch. You’ll be expected to meet clients, help produce reports and brief the design and development team, among many other things.
Why not read the job spec here and see if this internship is for you?
Katharina joined the team as a Producer in November, but we’ve only just convinced her she needs a proper introduction on our blog!
She brings with her a degree in media economics and various agency experience the world over from Europe to China, in sectors as diverse as Fashion, FMCG and Travel.
Hailing from Germany, she tries her best to prove that Germany has much more to offer than sausages, admiration for David Hasselhoff and efficiency.
Willkommen Katharina!

Strictly no recruitment agencies.
The Catch team continues to grow as we welcome Dan Ashdown onto the creative development team.
With a background in graphic design, product design and web application development he fits right in with the rest of the multi-skilled, multi-talented team.
Originating from Bristol, Dan is a keen sailor and will soon be undertaking his day skipper qualification. Looks like we’ve found a good way for undertaking jaunts across the channel.
The final touches are being put in place at our new Soho studio. As you can see from the photo above our new studio is very nearly ready (read: it’s a building site and this photo was taken pre-sweaty builder invasion).
Our new address (from w/c 12th Oct) is:
Studio 5 & 6
10-11 Archer Street
London
W1D 7AZ
Our main telephone number will remain the same, 0207 494 3554.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
It has been a long time coming, but here is an edited version of our ukulele team building night.
You don’t have to play the Uke to work here, but it helps.
DeVirgo now have a great looking web presence that will help cement them as a progressive residential developer with great ideas on sustainability and residential design.
The site is built in Flash site and powered by the Catch CMS system, enabling the client to update text and graphics as they wish. Flash content managed
solutions is yet another string in our digital offering bow, expect to see more in the offering this year.
In fact, we are already working on the three individual development sites which will be launched in due course as the developments near completion. Expect to see more of interactive 3D floor plans and general Flash wizardry.
Take a look at www.devirgo.co.uk or read our case-study by clicking here.
Hailing from Switzerland, Reto previously worked with Sunrise.ch on putting the digital structure in place enabling them to increase revenue and profit in the first quarter of 2009 by some 8.1% to £285m. Just as he is planning to do at Catch.
But forget this impressive feat, he was hired solely on the fact that he can touch his knee sliders to the floor when cornering on his Suzuki GSX-R 600 motorbike at 100mph.
He’s a fan of House and Electro Music (he is “European” after all). As it happens, he holds an impressive qualification in web design and development from Qantm here in the UK, so we’ll let him off such musical indiscretions.
He flogged his GSX-R 600 for 6e to buy his Ryanair flight to Stanstead last year. Probably for the best, not many bends here in Soho.
Willkommen Reto!
The Diner is a slice of classic Americana with branches in the heart of Shoreditch, Soho, Camden and now Kensal Rise and Islington. Not an ironic, kitsch 50’s diner, but an honest-to-god slice of New York, right down to the boothed seating and bottomless coffee.
We are currently knee deep producing the new Diner website in Papervision, creating a modern twist on their classic tale. This may be one of the reasons the blog hasn’t been updated for several weeks now, it seems to be the Flash lot that like to blog!
Keep an eye for the new site this summer.
Campaign is the eyes, ears and voice of advertising in the UK, (tasuznhxf8) and has earned huge respect at home and around the world as a champion of creativity, in all its forms, as it is used to make advertising harder hitting, more emotive…evocative, effective.
So you can imagine how excited the budding (albeit it amateur) photographers in the studio were when Campaign asked to use our entry platform to power the inaugural Campaign Photo Awards. Catch already designs, manages and hosts 19 awards websites for Haymarket Media Group. For the four most prestigious of these (Campaign BIG Awards, Media Week, and Campaign Photo and PRWeek) we also provide a bespoke entry platform facilitating registration, entry upload, online judging and payment.
To make life as simple as possible, initial entry is online from March 26, 2009. In this inaugural year, the time limit on use of an image is set at no earlier than November 1, 2007 and no later than April 30, 2009.
So whether you work professionally in Paddington, Sydney or Paddington, London; Athens, Georgia or Athens, Greece your work will be judged by an independent, impartial, experienced team of judges. You can enter here www.campaignphotoawards.com.
MIPIM is the world’s premier real estate summit, this year it’s in swanky Cannes, France.
Invest Northamptonshire needed to advertise their return to MIPIM, after a successful turn there in 2008. They wanted an informative modern yet clean design with advanced functions such as a site search engine, as well as text content video was also going to a main distributor of information. A real joint effort, working with our two sister agencies Ferrier Pearce and First Image we produced a four minute promo video to support our website and a highlights video of Kevin McCloud’s construction lunch speech, which was filmed, edited and uploaded to the website within one hour of the speech.
We produced this clean, simple to follow, design that contained large amounts a information, judge for yourself at http://mipim.investnorthamptonshire.co.uk
