Design And Delivery Of The First Ever Rover Mini Site

From July 1996 to February 1997 I worked as a freelance consultant and as a designer and producer with Ammirati Puris Lintas (London), a marketing and advertising agency.

Rover Cars, Britain’s largest motor manufacturer had commissioned Ammirati Puris Lintas (APL), as their advertising agency, to develop an Internet site to advertise and market the new Mini car.

After a few months of effort by APL (design), Good Technology (Internet technology) and Artewisdom (3D/graphics), the project had not progressed as planned. I helped designed the site in collaboration with APL and put together a better skilled team and management process to help identify the key deliverables and help develop the site quicker and better.

The site was launched 2 months later, ready for the year’s UK Motor Show and won multiple awards as follows.
