Case Studies

 

First Direct

 

First Direct need to talk to and listen to their customers and be a valuable part of their everyday lives.

 

So First Direct joined City Poems, a text message biography of Leeds written by the people who live and work there and delivered by SMS from a network of Poem Points at key venues across the city.

 

First Direct shared the costs of City Poems and hosted a Poem Point about work in the city.

 

Staff from the bank took part in four creative writing workshops, showing them how even a simple text message can be a rich, poetic form of communication, and refreshing the skills with which they talked to customers and each other.

 

City Poems was expanded to Antwerp, Belgium for the city's World Book Capital celebrations, and was commended in the British Interactive Media Awards.
