Just for a laugh this week, we’ve decided to have a ‘beard week’, so no shaving from last Friday to see who can come up with the best beard – we’ll have marks for colour, length, style, funniest looking and density.
We’ll let you know the outcome!
Next week is vinyl week, followed by old photo week. [...]
Some of the really clever stuff we do here is quite difficult to explain, and technologically, even more difficult. We are _not_ web designers.
Sometimes whilst down the pub, I get asked what I do. Depending who I’m talking to and in what context, it’s sometimes easier – and a bit of fun – to use [...]
The idea of guerrilla recruiting has been adopted by Connected as part of our campaign to attract a new back end programmer.
The reason? because energy and imagination can be engaged rather than a big budget.

One of the benefits this brings is the ability to share problems and ideas with those you wouldn’t usually. [...]
For the last 8 or 9 years I have been holding DJ events in and around the Halifax area mainly due to a lack of good quality house music available locally. When my friends and I first started holding events, at least a month before we would start with the promotion to spread the word. [...]
We’ve recently completed a project in the Healthcare sector yielding a 38% improvement in on-site conversion rate whilst battling a 15% drop in overall traffic. Like many marketing departments, they had a view of what would and what wouldn’t work and for some time now had been following a very traditional but blinkered approach to [...]
Smart people, thinking-caps on, and the best tools. But, as they say, “Don’t watch the tool, watch the hand that wields it.”
As the newest (and best looking) addition to the Connected team, I can say so far I have enjoyed my time here. The Connected team is like a little family and get along well with everyone.
