Creativity is something that we are passionate about here at Cynergy, especially our designers, and as we often get really positive feedback from our clients about our designs so we felt it was time to enter this year’s Fresh Awards.
Entering awards is a great marketing tool in terms of raising the profile of your company and the awareness of your services. We have helped some of our clients through the awards nomination process in the past and are happy to do so, we can even help you to find suitable awards to enter, so please do get in touch if you would like some help.
The two entries that we have submitted into the Fresh Awards are within the Brand Identity Category and the other into the Annual Reports/Promotional Brochures category.
If you like our designs tell us what you think.
The shortlisted organisations will be announced on the 15th August – keep your fingers crossed for us!
See our designs below.

Our Events Manager, Nicky Davies starts her fitness regime.
This year the 18th of September is coming around a little too quickly for my liking . After completing (notice I didn’t say running) the Great North Run last year, the buzz I had post-event made me automatically want to give it another go so I signed up.
I also had a more personal reason for running as my dad was diagnosed with cancer last year and I believe that he wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for the amazing work done by cancer charities. This is my way of saying a big thank you to Cancer Research UK. This year I’m being joined by Cynergy’s CEO Rebecca Howard, who is running for our client Willow Burn Hospice.
My running vest is here; my fundraising page is set up but the feet are not joining the party! Ignorance was bliss last year, but now I know how gruelling those 13 miles can and will be. I seem to be hitting a brick wall when it comes to getting motivated to train but with 7 weeks to go (eek!) train I must.
So it’s on with the trainers this week to start building up my running time, PMA (positive mental attitude) is what’s needed to break the 5k mark (or should that be brick wall?) that I’m currently doing. Any tips would be greatly received from any runners out there to help me with my mental or physical preparation. I will update you with how I get on in the next C-Zine!

Last week a few of us (girls!) went along to a local charity evening in aid of Kidney Research UK to an outdoor showing of the all-time classic film Dirty Dancing.
We took everything but the kitchen sink – a picnic, camping chairs, a cosy blanket for when it got chilly later on, the only thing we didn’t take was the good weather! Unfortunately it wasn’t kind to us and we got pretty wet, but we didn’t let it dampen our spirits, after all we did have Patrick Swayze to cheer us up and it was for a good cause, so we stuck it out and had a fab night- take a look at us at our not so finest below!

We were so proud when we won the Tees Valley Corporate Responsibility and Environment award last month! Our Green Team has been working really hard to spread the word about Green, so it was great recognition and a definite motivator to continue our Go for Green project.
When we visit primary schools and talk to pupils about being green, we’re always overwhelmed by the enthusiasm they show. Being green requires only small changes, but they certainly add up! We love how children think, and have had some great ideas from them, too – check out these light switch reminders that one school made us! They’re such a great idea that we have put them in all of our offices! We particularly like the handmade touch – looks like we have some real competition for our creative reputation!
