Tell us about an opportunity you’ve had or a business problem you’ve solved as result of being a BIMA member.
Our first software as a service web application enquiry came through the previous BIMA website’s directory. It was a project for a TV celebrity who was totally bonkers and we enjoyed working with him. I also hired Justin Cooke, as a Non-Executive Director to join our leadership team. I first met him through BIMA.
What difference has BIMA membership made to you/your business?
It challenges us to be the best we can be, through the member’s providing ongoing inspiration and constantly trying to raise the industry’s bar for design, technology and marketing campaigns.
