Exciting news from our client iQ student accommodation: This month iQ will be shown on
BBC 1 running a feature on the importance of student accommodation in London – chosen location: the brand new iQ Hoxton!

Interviews were given by Ian Scott, Head of iQ Student accommodation and Arielle Azencot, a French student living at iQ who had moved in two days earlier, but was already loving her time there.

The episode will air to London viewers on ‘Inside Out’ at 7:30pm on Monday 24th October on BBC 1. Make sure you check it out!

Have a look at our spectacular new website for iQ Student Accommodation. In the week after launch iQ had their highest number of bookings ever.

We’re all happy, as is Sophie Jackson, Marketing Manager at iQ:

“Catch have been a fantastic team to work with during the relaunch of our website. From initial project scoping through design and development stages through to going live, Catch have listened to our needs and quickly provided solutions to any problems we have encountered. The extension of the Drupal CMS system we now have is excellent. The training provided was thorough and the system is very easy to use which means we have full control of our website, which is very cost effective and easy to manage.”

Catch warmly welcomes Show Carriage Limited, a global specialist exhibition and live events logistics supplier.

Show Carriage merged its business with our existing client Charles Kendall earlier this year, so we’ll be designing and building their new website. The development work has already started and we’re looking forward to launching it soon!

This morning saw members of the Catch team attending a breakfast at The Lansdowne Club, put on by our client JLA, with digital whizz kid Josh Spear, one of the most influential digital marketing strategists (and certainly the youngest at just 25 years old!).

3 years ago Josh founded the digital strategy firm Undercurrent in New York and is now advising some of world’s biggest brands. His consultancy specialises in creating strategies for deeper, lasting online relationships, and acts as a think tank on the influence of technology on human behaviour.

If you’d like to attend the next “Speakers breakfast” or to peruse JLA’s database of Motivational Speakers, After Dinner Speakers, Cabaret and Dance Bands, Conference Speakers, or Presenters take a look at www.jla.co.uk.
