It’s been a really industrious year for us and what we dreamt of actually happened, we got so busy we haven’t had a chance to update the blog as frequently as we would have liked to!
In this our first year at Running in the Halls, lots of stuff has happened, Sam got engaged, we’ve been filmed for an episode of the Gadget Show!
…we had work featured in a national newspaper (Telegraph – Iman doesnt like the picture they took of him and the Glitch Book!) and we got to go to DIBI Conf and SXSWi in Texas and met some of our heroes and old friends!
Alison kept making games like brian and discovered a newfound love of dress making! (though she wont let us post pics!) and… she was also interviewed by PC Gamer about a month after we started!
We also pitched our ‘not so top secret’ but still in stealth mode Lemontree (which we first debuted at Mashed Liverpool) to one the UK’s largest and most successful public libraries (oww we cant talk about it yet) and worked on a few more projects we’re not allowed to talk about!
We’ve had the tremendous privilege of working with some fantastic new clients:
and the good fortune to work with some old ones like ALPS doing more funky stuff behind the scenes on their behemoth of a web app designed by our Sam.
Best of all we’ve made some amazing friends and formed great partnerships which we intend to nurture with our new directions and projects. Kettle are an award winning NY based interactive agency operating in a similar area as us with some incredible clients and Smallfry are one of the most respected names in UK product design!
We’re so proud of this little launch as well:

Being based in Bates Mill and saying hello to Ian (the Mill’s utterly amazing and interesting handyman) every morning has been pure inspiration and one of the best things that ever happened to us. We are literally operating at the point where Digital and Analogue collide and stories are formed. It’s tremendous fun doing what we do, so much so that it doesn’t feel like work.
Here’s to the future!
Love from everyone at RITH.
