Most viewed Facebook Live video success

We’re excited to have landed in The Drum's top 20 most viewed branded Facebook Live videos of 2016! 

The video, which shot in at #9, was filmed back in July for our client Thomas Cook Airlines. It featured a surprise performance by Danny Beard to launch the airline’s partnership with Manchester Pride 2016. The video shows Danny’s dramatic entrance and song as passengers check into their flights at Manchester Airport on a Monday morning. 

It was the first time the brand had used Facebook Live video and the colourful performance helped it be a viral success. Within minutes of going live, the video was featured on Reddit and was shared across multiple channels, which contributed to over 228,000 views and 5,437 interactions. 

You can sing along to Danny Beard's amazing performance here.

Catch opens in Madrid

Today we can announce that Catch’s international presence has grown with the opening of an office in Madrid, Spain.

Located on Gran Via, in the beating heart of the Spanish city (in the historic Casa Matesanz building), the office is being run by Technical Director, Owen McAteer.

Owen McAteer joined Catch in 2008 in London before leaving for the Spanish capital having met a Spanish girl (who says romance is dead?!). Now fluent in Spanish, married and living in Madrid since 2011 Owen is tasked with growing Catch’s technical offering in Spain.

Talking about the new office Catch’s Founder, Jonathan Smith said;

“Madrid has a vibrant digital community, and we’re excited that our clients can benefit from the fantastic talent pool that Madrid offers, especially for technical consultancy and build work." 

The requirement for experienced Drupal Developers has always been significant in London, with the demand consistently outstripping the supply. With a well established Drupal community, opening in Madrid is a smart move

“Madrid has a vibrant digital community, and we’re excited that our clients can benefit from the fantastic talent pool that Madrid offers, especially for technical consultancy and build work." 

JONATHAN SMITH, FOUNDER AND MD, CATCH

Our new co-located model allows us to offer the same high-quality of output you’d expect from a London based agency, but with the cost efficiencies that employing an additional team in Spain allows.”

¡Despegamos!
