This year I had the absolute pleasure of being involved in the Cygnus Horizons Project 2019, now before your mind runs wild, let me give you some background: Horizons is a yearly project which we run here at Cygnus, drawing on the local, young and creative talent in Milton Keynes – as a result Horizons gives students the opportunity to run with their own project, working with Cygnus to design, create and install their original idea.

Once again, we returned to TechXLR8 as part of London’s 2019 Tech Week event which continues to connect new technological advances with a generation concerned with the modernisation of business practices. This discussion focuses on the capabilities of VR (Virtual Reality) over AR (Augmented Reality) which we’d explored in the previous post.

The rise of Progressive Web Applications is certainly visible, but is it the future of online retail for mobile users?

Here at Cygnus we try to be very community focused and we love to get involved in raising money for local charities. So, when the opportunity came up to take part in an event taking place just a 5 minute walk from our lakeside offices, it was an opportunity we couldn’t turn down.

Creating memorable online experiences and bespoke websites is something we do for our clients every day. Towards the end of last year however, it was our turn, and quietly in the background we began to evolve and craft our own brand, and eventually launched our brand new website.

Marketing trends… What are they? Where do they come from? Well, one of the major worldwide events where marketing trends are born is an American event that most of the world’s population want to attend at least once in their lifetime - the Super Bowl.

I have been working in the automotive world for 14 years now and have been loving it from the very first day, because my love for four wheels stretches back so much further than my working life.

Whatever you might be seeking beyond your horizons, it usually makes sense to thoroughly research, gain insight and exhaust all options before committing to anything. When we search for the very best, we sometimes overlook what is right our under our nose and this is no different in marketing. Too often, we think we should look far and wide, up and down to find the right solution, a suitable product or a great team to work with.

You may well have seen the photos here on our website of our special four-legged friends who can be seen regularly roaming the Cygnus studio. It’s part of our culture and while it’s pretty unique, it’s a proven fact that our pooches can have a highly positive effect on us in the workplace.
