Aspen in the house!

Aspen In-house

How do you show that a recruitment consultancy is open, up-front and friendly?  How can you illustrate that they’re not like everybody else?  And how do you get that message across to a target audience of seasoned recruitment consultants?

These are questions we asked ourselves when fulfilling a brief to create a new brand for a recruitment consultancy that places outstanding  consultants into in-house roles.

We’re very pleased to announce the launch of Love Swimming’s brand spanking new website.

Rather than bang on about what we’ve done and the features, just go have a look. If you’re looking for swimming lessons (whether fun ones for your kids or top-level coaching for yourself), you can’t do better than these guys.

The company is already a success, but we think they’re on their way to great things. As their digital marketing partners, we’re looking forward to continually working with founders Rui and Bila to really take them places. Expect to see more from Love Swimming!
