Case Studies

Joint Information Systems Committee

In 2009, Flagship Consulting was tasked with promoting the JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) Digitisation Programme, to raise awareness of its wide range of digital archiving activities.

The JISC project focused on providing the public with online access to a wealth of historical material, including literary manuscripts, filmed news reports, newspapers and periodicals, photographs and illustrations, which had previously only been available to a limited group of academics and specialist researchers.

Flagship’s brief was to secure media coverage for the individual digitising initiatives and also to highlight JISC’s management of the programme.

The project generated 152 pieces of media coverage, the majority of which specifically mentioned JISC’s role. Online coverage highlights included Sky News Online, the BBC News home page (with hyperlinks to the archive) and a photo gallery on guardian.co.uk. Print coverage included features in all national broadsheets and extensive regional coverage.

  • Snap to it with Instagram

    Suddenly, everyone’s a photographer.  Retro inspired shots of door handles and street scenes litter my twitter, and Facebook’s just a mélange of sepia snaps.  Instagram fever is sweeping the nation, as users take and share photos with their smart phone, using filters to add vintage effects. Originally exclusive to iPhone users, the Android app launched

  • #craphashtags

    Only three years ago the hash sign suffered a meagre existence.  Its purpose unknown to the upcoming generations, hash’s humble façade was seen only as part of an emoticon or on a sheet of music. And then came Twitter. Twitter did for the hash sign what Charlie Sheen did for addiction. Hash (in the tag,

  • Conversation – a dying art?

    Recently I have been prompted to reflect on the meaning of ‘conversation’ in this digital world, when everyone seems glued to their smart phones and tablets. An example is a recent ‘conversation’ (yes, we did converse face-to-face) with my daughter where I asked if she had spoken to a friend; she responded saying yes, they
