Art with Attitude - Serenity Designs

Quigley’s, a small and very cosy wine bar in Congleton, was the setting for the Serenity Designs “Art with Attitude” showcase of British artist JJ Adams.

Armed with an exquisite gin and orange courtesy of Hunters Gin, we walked among the assembled crowd and took in what can only be described as an outstanding collection of modern fine art. Serenity Designs showcased the pieces in a manner that invited you to indulge your creative curiosity and challenge yourself with the intellectualism of JJ Adams and his modern artwork.

Among the art pieces, the invited guests could see the intricate use of different materials up close in a way that could do these pieces justice.

Moving on through the exhibit there were two works, Rock n’ Roll Reunion and Eddystone Lighthouse, that took our breath away. The detail, finish, idea and execution had a number of the guests commenting and they appeared to be a talking point.

“Twiggy” and “Diana” were the centrepieces of the exhibition and it’s not until you stand up close that you can see the detail and thought that went into the pictures. Stand close to the picture of Diana that you’ll notice the very subtle and amusing details JJ Adams has placed on her.

The small number of works in this pleasantly brief exhibit truly allowed visitors to fully study and contemplate each piece, and simply to appreciate the dynamic creations on a purely aesthetic level. Guests were not intimidated by the modernist artworks on display. Instead, “Art with Attitude” presented the often under appreciated artistic side of this fine artist, offering visitors a stimulating experience as well as whetting our appetites for their next anticipated exhibition.

Serenity Designs showed the invited audience why they are one of the premier galleries in Cheshire or even the North West.

Using Video To Sell Homes

A few years ago, Marketing your property online was a new area. My business partner and I were wondering what would be the next “Big Thing” in online property marketing. We’d done everything known to mankind but were looking for something really different, something that would take us ahead of the crowd.

We decided to try a video landing page and experimented with a number of designs before deciding on a page design with interactive links. To save on costs, mine was the voice that guided you through the website. We utilised our own video production equipment and the total cost of the experiment was £42.
At the same time, we were asked to design and host a website for a PR & Marketing company in Northamptonshire, who also specialised in property marketing, and we added this “new” concept. The client loved it and once the SEO was completed, the traffic hitting the site was beyond all expectations. We’d hit on a magic formula.

A couple of years later, I decided to incorporate the same property marketing idea into the world of estate agency. The results were outstanding with a traffic flow that exceeded 25,000 unique visits per week. As an experiment we then took out the voice over and video’s and as a subsequence the online traffic fell by 75%. We knew video and voice was the way forward. From that moment on, we have never changed our thoughts regarding voice over and video production to market products online.
Done right, voice overs are one of the best ways of communicating with potential customers. We have worked with some of the largest TV production companies in the UK and incorporated our idea to great effect.

We highly recommend Voice Takeaway and the services they offer, it works for us and so why couldn’t it work for you?
