Dezeen projects

Dezeen is a publishing company at the forefront of the digital media revolution. We specialise in creating and delivering content in a variety of ways including blogs, moving image, audio and even old-school print.

Projects to date include developing blogs for the Design Museum in London (see case study below) and the International Design Forum in Dubai, creating online movies for Swarovski Crystal Palace. Future projects will include magazines (both digital and print) and an online TV channel.

Additionally, Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs has curated exhibitions for Liberty and Form London, organised events at the ICA, Sadlers Wells Theatre and more, as well as presenting TV programmes and writing the best-selling book Twenty-First Century Design.

Case study: Zaha Hadid Blog

Just as print magazines publish supplements, guides and other special products, so dezeen works with like-minded organisations to create bespoke digital publications.

Zaha Hadid Blog (above) was a collaboration between dezeen, the Design Museum, Zaha Hadid Architects and digital design consultancy designjunction.

Lanched in May 2007, the blog helped the museum build public awareness and anticipation of the Zaha Hadid – Architecture and Design exhibition that opened at the end of June.

Dezeen advised on the design and layout and managed the content of the blog, sourcing exclusive editorial content including interviews, videos and photos to keep visitors coming back. The blog was also advertised on dezeen's banner (below).

Once the exhibition opened we continued adding content to the blog, while exhibition visitors were encouraged to add their own comments via specially installed internet stations in the museum.

The blog has been a phenomenal success, with visitor figures, visit lengths and incoming links far outstripping expectations.

Perhaps more importantly, the Design Museum sold more tickets through its website for this show than any other it has ever held, proving that blogs can generate business and act as a central element in a marketing strategy.

When the exhibition closes the blog will remain online to serve as a digital archive of the event.
