About Us
Our history as Ambit New Media started officially in 1998 but our various roots go back as far as 1986 with the earliest computer-based design and video production. So we were there at the start of the computer revolution - and we've developed our skills along the way.
We added multimedia production as this became mainstream. Then with the arrival of the internet we added competencies in server technology and in web-site design and build. The menu items to the left represent our main skill areas.
We aim to combine excellent creative skills with technical strength, because the new media field needs both.
We seek to know our clients well through personal contact, but still have the necessary range of skills to meet all challenges. This approach has allowed us to build a healthy portfolio with a wide variety of projects
Technical Change
The last ten years have been exciting, but not simple. As technologies mature they become more complex, since their potential gradually becomes clearer and new areas need to be exploited.
The most obvious example of this trend today is in the requirements for web sites. Over the last three years the internet world has moved to the flexibility of style sheets coupled with a proliferation of video, blogs, news feeds and so on. Behind these are significant technical innovations. But we've kept up.
We also aim to keep abreast of lesser-known developments that are important in the business world, so we've been involved of late in CRM integration; the use of multimedia as an archiving tool; and the development of real-time visual models that are also mathematically precise.
Organisation
Recently we have re-organised ourselves. Along with Ambit New Media (UK), Ambit Creatives is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, specialising in high quality design. Ambit Activate is based in Stockport, focusing on video production and animation. We expect to establish a presence in the Midlands during 2010 and also have further growth plans in mind despite these recessionary times.
Our networked style is generally appreciated by clients as providing breadth and depth with maximum efficiency, and those clients that themselves operate from more than one location gain from our experience in doing the same.
Ambit New Media continues as our overall brand, and any of our constituent companies can handle projects across the whole range of new media.
