Choose Brighton!

We are based in the creative of Brighton.

Brighton is a genuinely creative city with, X, Y, Z, a dynamic arts school and the second largest arts festival in Europe in The Brighton Festival and fringe.

Brighton has a thriving ecosystem of digital people and businesses, with strong clusters and communities around web design, user experience, search marketing, e-learning, Flash design & development, mobile development, video games, interactive TV as well as emerging areas such as online social networking, widgets, social media marketing and virtual worlds. (Links to various groups?).

This ecosystem is a dense network of freelancers, micro-businesses, developers, production companies, agencies plus two universities.

Brighton hosts a number of events of European significance including dConstruct, Flash on the Beach, Develop bla bla. (links)

The fishing village that become the hub of hedonistic English society, is now a hotbed of learning and collaboration. Through projects like Sussex Digital, Project Brighton, Wired Sussex and co-working spaces like The Werks, we live and breathe the social web motto "together, we are stronger". Online and off, down the pub and through a constant stream of skill-sharing events, we practice radical collegiality in open and progressive ways. This creates a rich, fertile soil for ideas, businesses and people to grow.

When pundits like Professor Richard Florida map the social geography of knowledge in epochal books like "The Rise of Creative Class", Brighton ticks nearly every box.

It's a place that attracts and embraces newcomers to the industry, and visitors alike. Like bees to the honey pot, folk come fresh off the train/boat/plane from London, Australia, Newcastle, Glasgow, Italy, San Fransisco (add yours in) with passion and intent to contribute. Why? Because it's a very liveable place, ripe with human potential. It is small enough and close enough to major international centres to offer the best of scale, lifestyle and connectivity.

It's only a short train ride to London-by-the-Sea for most, with Gatwick airport only 30 minutes by car.

Second Life, Club Penguin etc etc... link to articles that describe it all...

A fresh sea-air place, where good people make cool stuff happen.

But hey ho blah di dah take out anything that sounds like crapola.
