interactive tutorial design for intranet, design by spike

An online tutorial for EDF Energy

EDF Energy wanted to go digital when training new employees to use Mayrise, an application essential to their day-to-day business.
Spike made this complex database easy to learn.

The online interactive tutorial that we created has been an undoubted success: more employees use Mayrise than ever before.

Everyone at EDF Energy can access the tutorial on the company intranet, so employees are free to learn wherever, whenever.

The online tutorial saves EDF Energy time and money by side-stepping the costs of venues, instructors, and travel. And less travel benefits our planet too.

The Flash-based tutorial takes the user on an interactive journey through Mayrise, with Lesley Dolphin (of BBC Radio Suffolk fame) as their guide.

Indeed, Spike wrote and recorded Lesley’s voiceover, working closely with EDF Energy to ensure that script was jargon-free.

The tutorial is modular, so topics can be tackled in any order. And it enables EDF Energy to add new tutorials as new Mayrise features are released.

A website for Bruizer

Bruizer is a TV and film production company. After seeing what Spike could do, they were keen for us to build their website. They know what looks good.

Spike put Bruizer’s work at the heart of the website, with each page playing a choice cut of their portfolio.

Ultimately, it means visitors get to experience what Bruizer do—not just read about it.

Online marketing campaign for New Scientist

A second banner advertisement and HTML email for New Scientist

New Scientist were looking to promote their Graduate Careers Special—a series of features by industry experts to guide students to success.
They asked Spike to create a digital marketing campaign that would drive traffic to this series of online articles.

Spike deployed an HTML email to convert some of New Scientist’s trusted mailing list, and an animated banner advertisement to generate clicks from the website.

In keeping with the campaign’s theme of finding success, Spike’s detailed illustrations mapped a student’s way to fame, fortune, and happiness.

But great illustrations held together by poor code can lead to an ugly HTML email—sapping credibility before a word is read. Spike’s coding skill and experience ensures your email looks great in every inbox.

Let Spike sharpen your integrated digital marketing.
