The results, announced at the end of May, charted the rise and fall of design consultancies across the UK in the last 12 months. This year’s table is quoted as listing the darkest days of the economic downturn, with big drops in income of many key players and an unusually mixed picture in several design sectors. With this in mind, Bite CP’s climb from 66 to 49 is a phenomenal achievement.

Bite CP’s creative director, Darren Cornwall said: “We are all thrilled to be recognised as a top 50 agency following our launch just 5 years ago. We believe that good work comes from good people and we’ve built the agency with this in mind. On top of that, we have a client base of fantastic names and brands of which we are very grateful. Bite CP has developed amazingly well over the last 5 years and we’re really looking forward to the next.”

On top of being rated number 49 overall, Bite CP also featured in two other charts. Listed as equal 18th on the most bullish top 100 list, Bite CP has proven its confidence heading in to the coming year and with a 15% fee-income increase year on year it’s not hard to see why.

The Educational Resources Awards highlight the quality and diversity of educational products and resources, excellent educational establishments and the most dedicated members of the teaching profession and supplies industry.

Leon Girling, TFL said: We are very excited to be recognised by the prestigious Educational Resources Awards. TFL has invested heavily in making its educational resources second-to-none, and the UpGrade programme really reflects this through the content developed by TFL and designed by Bite CP. We are very proud of everything we have achieved through the UpGrade Programme and are looking forward to rolling out the next phase.

The awards celebrate excellence in brand communication, thus Bite CP has submitted its ‘Feet First’ design & print work; a not-for-profit project commissioned by the London Borough of Hillingdon. Bite CP were asked to design and produce an easy to use, vibrant and fun teaching aid for primary schools to encourage all school children, parents and teaching staff to walk to school. The campaign has been visually successful with strong branding and communication, furthermore it has achieved the desired results.

Natasha Mabilat, account manager at Bite CP said: ‘This is superb news, to be shortlisted is an achievement in itself. The Benchmark Awards are prestigious and naturally we’d love to win. The Feet First campaign has been successful and one our design team has thoroughly enjoyed working on.’

Fingers crossed for Tuesday 1st December, when we’ll hear our fate at the awards ceremony held at The Grosvenor House, London.

We are pleased to announce our recent IVCA award win. The award was achieved for our creation and delivery of a Transport For London project called ‘UpGrade – Journey into Year 7’. The campaign created by Bite CP for TFL, is to advise and assist children and parents regarding local sustainable transport, during the transition between primary to secondary school. The campaign has been rolled-out across 17 London boroughs and following the launch, nearly 60% of students surveyed, said that the information provided in their UpGrade packs made them think about new and different ways of travelling to school.

The IVCA judges described Bite CP’s work as: ‘A very engaging and proven campaign with high production values that makes a potentially dull issue fun. Good school curricular link too.’

Darren Cornwall, Director at Bite CP said: ‘ We are extremely proud to win this award, not only because it’s for our work developing UpGrade which is an extremely important TFL campaign. But because the IVCA awards are held in great esteem and represent several of our key values. The entire Bite CP team has been involved with ‘UpGrade’ and are pleased with the recognition.’

The IVCA has been around for 40 years. The awards are not-for-profit, and recognise best practice in communicating the importance of CSR, diversity, sustainable development, social inclusion and ethical debate, whatever the media platform.
