Bluhalo’s Dan Steele will be taking part in the Oxfam trailwalker in July, a 60 mile non-stop ‘walk’ over rough terrain across the South Downs from Petersfield to Brighton. He’ll be walking through the night, clocking up almost 30 hours of walking time along the way!
It’s his first endurance event and he’s gone straight in for a big one! He needs to raise at least £500 for the charity and needs your help to get there!
If you feel you can help (even if it’s just a couple of pounds) he’d be really grateful! To sponsor Dan, visit Virgin Money Giving and please give what you can. Everyone that sponsors Dan by 18th July will be in with the chance of winning 8 tickets to Bluhalo's VIP executive box at Tottenham Hotspur for the game vs Villarreal on Thursday 29th July at 8pm. The prize isn't transferable (so you can't sell it on eBay), but you can take all your friends along with you - you'll be sure to see a celeb or WAG or two! To secure your entry into the draw, drop Dan an email once you've sponsored him(dan@bluhalo.com)!
Thanks for your support!

Bluhalo's Spurs site gets NMA site of the week
We love working on the Spurs website (http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/) - it's a great site, with a wealth of top quality content.
NMA landed on my desk this morning, and to my (and the Bluhalo team's) delight, the Spurs site has been awarded site of the week.
With an impressive 88/100, scoring 22/25 for content, 22/25 for usability, 21/25 for branding and 23/25 for monetisation, we're delighted, to say the least. A lot of dedication and passion went into the redesign of the latest version of the Spurs website and we're really pleased to see our expertise and efforts rewarded!

Spurs 2009/2010 Kit Launch
Last month Tottenham Hotspur football club approached us with the exciting prospect of building a microsite to launch their new 2009/2010 kit. We were presented with a blank canvas and free reign to come up with as exciting a concept as possible.
We started out by presenting the client with a series of concepts, revolving around the use of video and flash.
Once a concept had been agreed upon the next step was to plot out a route through the site based on the concepts. The original concepts revolved around using real Tottenham Hotspur players, however we had to revise the script later as all of the players were on holiday over the production window. (No doubt sunning themselves in Portugal!)
Billy Wingrove was selected to be the figurehead for the video footage. Billy has a well established history with the Spurs fanbase, and his previous video work has received over 20 million views on YouTube.
We were supplied with branding concepts, and using these we produced the final designs revolving around Billy and freestyle football. In a studio in North London, with Andrew Boulter, we filmed 3 hours of footage against a green screen to be cut and keyed back at the office. This was my first opportunity to direct any video work and it was a very exciting experience.3 hours of footage seemed like a daunting prospect for cutting, but we managed to extract all the clips we needed to match the designs and were very happy with the outcome. The tricks were all so impressive we would have loved to have included all the footage!
Over to the Flash guys! In addition to engaging footage we also needed a captivating portal to surround it. At this point all of the footage that had been painstakingly keyed and re-formatted was inserted into the site and we could finally see what had been an idea a few short weeks ago, blossom into a functioning site.
We introduced the concept of including a customised wallpaper that the user can download once they have signed up to the site. This allows us to accurately track all registered users that were visiting the site whilst providing them with unique content.
Many late nights and take-aways later, the site was fit to go live and meet its public.
It was a truly rewarding experience to work on a project from start to finish and to produce a site that is extremely captivating and engaging, I can’t wait to do it all again next year!
Whilst you are waiting for the next kit launch, check out the spurskit.com site, the viral youtube video and some of the photos that Simon and I took at the shoot.

Sports Focus - Spurs
At first glance you may be wondering exactly why a digital agency is writing about sports. But look again and you will see that not only are we a digital agency, we are huge sports fans too, which is great, because we’re also the digital agency of choice for some of the biggest names in the sporting world. So along with our digital expertise, marketing opinions and forward thinking technical posts, we also like to pay homage to our sporting pedigree. As our first in the series, this month’s Sports Focus looks at the season for Spurs…
To describe this past season as being turbulent for Tottenham Hotspur would be an understatement of the highest order. Spurs fans are probably used to riding that emotional roller coaster more than many other sets of fans around the league but with the way things played out over the past 10 months, you'd have been forgiven for thinking that it was something straight out of the Hollyoaks school of script writing! Thankfully for the club and its fans, Daniel Levy seems to have finally got it right with the appointment of Harry Redknapp from Portsmouth.
After kicking things off back in August under Juande Ramos, a return of only 2 points from the first 8 games proved to be the proverbial straw that broke the Spaniard's back and swift changes were made including back room staff, coaches and even the tea lady......although that's still a rumor! As with many new managerial appointments, the impact was swift with a 2-0 victory coming against Bolton at home, before Harry had even taken a full training session. A memorable 4-4 draw with bitter rivals Arsenal at the Emirates stadium followed, featuring a 40-yard David Bentley volley (eventually proving to be his only significant contribution of the season) against his old club and a 2 goal comeback from 4-2 down with 89 minutes on the clock...that Hollyoaks bunch had been at it again! Despite a small blip of form away from home around the turn of the year with somewhat undeserved losses to Newcastle, West Brom, Wigan and Bolton, Spurs fantastic home form, 1 loss under Harry, with a club record of only 10 goals conceded ALL season, they found themselves pushing hard for 7th place and European qualification on the final day, when at one stage relegation had been a very real possibility. Arguably, the January transfer window re-signings of former lillywhite heroes Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane being one of the key factors in what was a remarkable campaign.
Throw into the mix a Carling Cup final lost on penalties to Man Utd after out playing the champions for large parts of the game, rubber stamped by the fact that young keeper Ben Foster won man of the match; Harry Redknapp can be truly proud of the work he has done so far and more importantly be hugely optimistic that with a few key additions in the summer (and maybe a few under-achievers on their way out) building a side around the likes of Luka Modric, Aaron Lennon and the always inspiring Wilson Palacios, challenging for the top 4 next season alongside teams such as Everton, Man City and Aston Villa is almost a given.

Bluhalo at the Spurs 125 Years Premier
Two of our employees Amanda Poon and Mark Grassick were treated to a night of Champagne and Canapés with the Spurs First team this month, to join the club in celebrating 125 years of Tottenham Hotspur.
Both Amanda and Mark had to opportunity to chat and socialise with the players and staff, including Martin Jol (Manager). Then were treated VIP seats to be among the first to see the movie depicting the unique history of one of England’s favourite football clubs.
