Today we have great pleasure in announcing both a new client and brand new site launch. The new social portal My Caterham, built on behalf of Caterham Cars. We begin our new relationship at arguably the most exciting time in the history of the organisation, following their recent acquisition by Team Lotus Forumla One.

My Caterham is a social portal aggregating live feeds from the Caterham Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube accounts to help fans keep up to date with everything that Caterham get up to. It doesn’t stop there though, as the site also includes areas where users are invited to get involved and contribute.

It has had an excellent response from users so far and we look forward to the ongoing development of the portal as it becomes the definitive place on the web for all fans of Caterham Cars.

Visit My Caterham

Make a fresh start in 2011 and befriend us on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr (if you haven’t already), and we’ll see you there!

It’s not often I get featured on the BBC News website (read: never), let alone in the company of Liz Hurley and Shane Warne.

However, today I have found myself and my future wife featuring as the 4th most popular story on the website today extolling the virtues of Social Media – specifically announcing my recent engagement to the world via Twitter, in an interview I gave yesterday.

A recent post over on the Digital Buzz Blog has a great infographic on the “Meteoric Rise Of Twitter”. Slightly US centric, but nonetheless interesting in proving the credibility of the network which many wrote off as a fad as little as 12 months ago. The numbers don’t lie, with a reported 55 million tweets per day in April of this year Twitter is here to stay.

While it’s been widely reported by the naysayers that Twitter is nothing more than a vocal minority of users creating the majority of the tweets, these numbers work hard to prove that while this may have been the case once upon a time, it’s no longer par for the course.

We’ve been on the bandwagon from an early stage, and have been touting its brand enhancing potential to all our clients for over 18 months now. While initially it felt a bit like an uphill battle, our current roster sees all our clients agreeing with the potential that harnessing Twitter as a platform with which to have meaningful engagement with the public has.

If you would like to find out more about how we have help made Twitter work for them, please get in touch.

With several staffers individually twittering away in the office (@k0ng, @omcateer, @jonsm1th to shame but a few ) it was only a matter of time until we got around to promoting our own official company Twitter page @catch_digital.

Recent tweets include video footage of The Great Soho Monsoon of July 7th 2009, our Cannes winning clients, the state of the web mapped onto the Tokyo subway system and Michael Jackson’s arcade.

I’ve been busy moving our blog over to Wordpress.

Which means its now a lot easier to find posts using the sidebar on the left hand side. Also it’s possible to share a posts using the links at the bottom of each post, you can share them using Email,  Twitter, Facebook, Delicious and many other sites.

And of course using Wordpress means its a lot easier and quicker to administer the whole blog – expect more posts, more frequently!

Serial overachiever and all round nice guy Ross Williams heads up the uber-successful whitelabeldating.com, a multi-million pound business that provides dating software, payment processing and consultancy for some of the world’s most successful consumer media brands.

Ross approached Catch with a view to us branding him online. He’s a busy guy and wanted his own blog to share his experiences with those who’ll listen.

With a love of life in the fast-lane, sports cars and technology the site needed to be slick, remotely updateable and reflect who he was as a person, letting people know where he’s been as well as where he is heading (not to mention showing off the multitude of awards and accolades he has picked up along the way).

Using a mash-up of deep-linked Flash, Twitter, Wordpress and our own custom CMS modules this is one trick site, enabling Ross to update it via his phone from anywhere in the
world.
