As a department, we create, design, build and reskin many games. Games are great for users and has many benefits for your site:

Every new Design project must now start with a brief. You need to ask for a game brief from the design team. Fill it in with all the detail you can. Within 1 working day the person assigned your job will contact you to discuss the brief and progress things further. During this discussion we will fill out and agree the second part of the brief. The completed brief will then act as a point of reference throughout the project.
For any questions or help, please contact Ashley Temple on 0207 054 8105 or email him Ashley.Temple@thisisglobal.com. Finally, see How we work for all other enquiries.
