Press Release service

'The WS Press Release service works really well for Wild Dog Design, it gives us great local exposure and helps our Google ranking!'
Liz Squire, Wild Dog Design Limited

'Once again many thanks for the support you are giving us.'
Nick Eakhurst, Not Only But Also

Events and Training

'Just a quick line to say many thanks to you and the team for organising this morning's event. To hear Spannerwork's Arjo run us through the future of search was both enlightening and enjoyable.'
Aaron Lowe, e-bloc Interactive

'Just a quick email to say thanks for The Social today, really enjoyed it and made some good contacts there. Wining an i-pod shuffle was also very nice!'
Carey McIlvenny - freelance marketer/writer

'A massive thank you to the Wired Sussex team for making Tuesday night so amazing and for introducing me to so many interesting, friendly and inspiring people. Best nine pounds I have spent in a long time, I got a wide range of helpful advice and feedback.'
Jon May - Portfolio Clinic attendee

'It's easy to lose sight of creative and professional endeavours when our heads are down working hard each day. A programme like dSCAPE helps to shake up the creative spirit by presenting evidence of people acheiving their goals. There's nothing more inspiring!'
James Marsden, Futurlab - dSCAPE/05 attendee

'...it was a fantastic morning, and I met a wonderful animator as a consequence who will be a great help for my work.'
Ruth Collins

'I think the work the Wired Sussex team is doing to support women in media is really positive. I've met some really interesting people and if I can help in any way please get in touch.'
Dominique Lee, Worth Media

'I attended this speed networking event and, to be perfectly honest with you, I turned up thinking that it really was not for me and I did not feel that it would be of any benefit. How wrong could I be?! It turned out to be an excellent way of networking. I had a captive audience and everybody present knew the purpose of the event i.e. to sell their services. At most networking events, you spend probably 60% of your time passing pleasantries and wondering how to pitch yourself. With Speed Networking you just get stuck in and once you work out the timing, it's great. I probably spoke to over 25 people. I picked up at least 2 clients for myself and probably another 2 for the group. Not bad for a couple of hours networking.'
Anne-Marie Franklin, Ashdown Hurrey

'Thank you for all the organisation and hard work. 15 minutes talking Future Platforms up from behind a podium is a drop in the ocean compared to the work that you guys obviously put in. Cheers for getting us involved, and let me know when you want to start talking about next year.'
Tom Hume, Future Platforms - Designers Night speaker / dSCAPE/05 Partner

'All of the Wired Sussex organised events have been top-notch so far.'
Conor Patterson, Managing Director, Protean Vision Quest Ltd

'Thanks for being a part of organising a very stimulating and informative two days – please pass my appreciation on to the speakers and others involved. I found the quality of information provided to be far better than at other events I and my partners have recently attended and wish you every success with Ready4Growth. I must say one of the most useful aspects of the two days... was the chance to network with other entrepreneurs with related or common interests. The calibre of delegates was extremely high, and I think the screening of Executive Summaries worked very effectively to fill the room with interesting and interested people.'
Phil Booth, Virtualised Data Solutions Ltd re.Ready4Growth event

'Many of us are busy working with clients in London, Europe, and further afield – so it's often easy to forget who is on your doorstep! Wired Venture evenings are always enjoyable, informal and one of the nicest ways to meet with some of the most interesting companies in Sussex.'
Rob Day Director Liquid Light

'Just thought I'd let you know that I thought last night's speed networking event was a superb success. Congratulations! I have been sending follow-up e-mails since 8.30 this morning.'
Lloyd Raworth, Lloyd Raworth Design

'Thanks for organising these events, they prove to be informative and useful for us particularly with keeping abreast of current new media/business activities in the area; and thanks for your time on the evening.'
Estella Reed, iCorssing

Job Ad service

'The response for this job was brilliant and the chosen candidate found us via your ad. The Wired Sussex website is the most effective way of finding creative people in the area.'
Sue Westbrook, Disaster Designs,

'Wired Sussex saves me thousands in recruitment agency fees, because I can post my ad on Wired Sussex knowing I will get loads of relevant CVs within a few days. In fact I don’t use recruitment agents at all.'
Penny Bailey, Bailey Solutions Ltd

'I just wanted to drop you a quick mail to say thank-you for the excellent employment section on the Wired web site. It is because of your employment section that I was introduced to my new employer as a Software Support advisor (advertised on your web site exclusively).Once again, thank-you to all the Wired team.'
Nick Grimwood, Anya Designs,

'We received a good response from the Wired Sussex job advert, they were mainly candidates with very relevant experience, all of them lived in the Brighton and surrounding area. The lady we recruited was through Wired Sussex and is ideal. We have successfully recruited through your website before and will look to use it again in the future.'
Carrie Cort, Takeone Productions

'It's the only recruitment service that I wouldn't hesitate to use again. The whole process is easy, efficient, affordable and completely painless and the quality of applicants has been superb. For a small company like mine, it's exactly what I needed, it's been excellent - thank you.'
Aneela Rose, Managing Director, Aneela Rose PR.

'The listings work well - they are clearly labelled and easy to negotiate.'
Jane Purcell, Public I

'The Wired Sussex site has featured great improvements over the last year making it more user friendly and developing a corporate style that reflects the professionalism and friendliness of its staff.'
Bip Mistry, iCrossing UK

'We had a good response from the ad which was great and have found a few very creative designers.'
Caburn Hope

'It's been working really well for us. We've recently hired an excellent producer and a new developer from there. For both positions we had a good selection of strong candidates to choose from. It's well worth the money IMO - get your job on there now!'
Tom Nixon, Nixon McInnes Ltd

'We recently placed an ad on the Wired Sussex site and have ended up recruiting 2 of the applicants (within a week)!'
Sarah Chesworth, Eighth Day Design

'As one of your private sector clients may I take this opportunity to say that I and other managers at Study Group have been delighted by the quality of the applicants that have responded to the job advertisements we have placed over the last year on Wired Sussex. In comparison to other methods of recruitment you represent excellent value for money, and we have been able to recruit three ideal new members of staff quickly and efficiently using your services exclusively. I'd also like to congratulate you on the quality of your support staff who have always responded very promptly to any issues we have raised.'
Ric Francis, Manager, Study Group

'We have had a huge response and need no more applicants. Great value advertising! The number and quality of applicants was astonishing compared to a few years ago when we ran a similar ad.'
Tim Neill, Tim Neill Associates Ltd

'We've just successfully recruited again today using your recruitment section. This time we got an outstanding candidate out of a very high calibre group of applicants... Specialised industry, local-area recruitment sites like WiredSussex are the future of internet-based recruitment. I don't think large sites like Monster.com or Workthing.com can do quite the job you do. You also make an identifiable, meaningful contribution to the local economy and community.'
Ricard Giner, Study Group International

'Wired Sussex will always be part of any recruitment drive we undertake.'
Julie Rivas, Diya Information Engineers

Jeff Thaddeus, Fresh Interactive

Freelance Showcase

'When my profile was posted on the Freelance Showcase I felt confident that I would get some good feedback. But I must tell that it has worked beyond my expectations and I recruited a couple of my most important clients today! I'm full of thanks to you guys.'
Irene Soler, is d-sign

'As a freelance designer, I've found the Freelance Showcase to be a great way of increasing my visibility, and subsequently leads, with local businesses.'
Sheila Woodbridge, Quirst Design

'Being included in the Freelance Showcase has been a great promotional tool having boosted work offers and hits to my portfolio site. As a freelancer, with a small advertising budget, exposure of this kind is invaluable. This service along with events such dSCAPE provide priceless support for Brighton's immensely talented freelance community. Well done Wired Sussex.'
John Davidson

'Having seen PJM Design listed in the showcase, I was contacted by the agency equus communications who chose me as their senior freelance designer. This has brought me a considerable amount of work as well as an excellent collaboration.'
Patrick Morrison, PJM Design
