Double award triumph
We scooped two of the top gongs at this week's Scottish Magazine Awards. The Exova Magazine won Best Staff Magazine (the third year in a row we have won the category) and Life (for Lloyds Banking Group) won Best Digital Magazine.
We dominated the digital category with three of the four shortlisted entries (including Strathclyde People for University of Strathclyde and Conference Call for EICC). Edit, the magazine we design for University of Edinburgh, was also shortlisted in the Best Customer Magazine category.
Hot Rum Cow
It’s called Hot Rum Cow, it’s a brilliant new magazine about the amazing world of drinks and it’s ours, all ours. White Light Media is launching its first ever news-stand title and you can see a 16-page sampler at www.hotrumcow.co.uk. Issue one will include the extraordinary history of gin, the agent provocateurs of Brewdog and the strange tale of eiswein. Cheers!

Strathclyde People goes digital
Strathclyde People Digital Spring EditionOur run of high-profile digital magazine launches continues with a new multi-media edition of Strathclyde People, our alumni magazine for the University of Strathclyde. We’ve been writing and designing Strathclyde People for six years, but this year we were appointed to create a biannual digital edition to sit alongside the print version. The result is an animated and engaging magazine embedded with video, photo galleries, and interactive features. See the magazine online.
EICC goes digital
EICC Conference Call Digital EditionWe’ve worked with Edinburgh International Conference Centre for a decade, writing and designing Conference Call magazine. Conference Call has always moved with the times and this May, we relaunched it in a custom-built digital format that reflects the innovative qualities of the EICC. See the magazine online.
