The Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) was struggling to make it's voice heard in a crowded charity market. Despite rabies being eradicated in the UK, it still accounts for over 55,000 deaths a year globally - many of whom are children. Once rabies symptoms appear it is always fatal. CompanyX were set the challenge to increase the likelihood of financial support for the organisation from a wider audience and allow it to continue it's brilliant work fighting against a completely preventable disease.

We commissioned research to establish what the old site was doing well and what existing users believed it could do better. We also asked new target audiences what would motivate them into supporting. CompanyX then designed and developed a far clearer site with strong emphasis on fininacial support. This site is now live.

"This is really exciting" says Debbie Briggs, GARC's Executive Director. "Rabies control is gathering momentum worldwide and we need to move our work forward by attracting and talking to a wider audience"

Trollied, helmed by Shameless director Paul Walker, is the latest production to start filming at the Bottle Yard in Hengrove, Bristol’s new dedicated film and TV production facility.

An entire supermarket has been built from scratch at the Bottle Yard, containing thousands of products. Horrocks, best known as Bubble from Absolutely Fabulous, will lead the cast, appearing alongside Game of Thrones star Mark Addy, Being Human's Jason Watkins and This Is England actress Chanel Cresswell. Production on Trollied has already started at the Bottle Yard. Filming will continue until June and the series will air on Sky1 HD in July.

We’re pleased to say that after months of looking for the right person to head up our sales team, we think we’ve found her.
