The worlds largest circulating games magazine…probably

Jason Burrows — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:59:22 +0000

We are excited to announce the launch of the new Asda Games Magazine! This is a joint collaboration between Asda, Entertainment UK and Creation Agency.

Family gaming in particular is being touted as a high growth sector, and we wanted to add value by producing a focussed publication that talks directly to Asda shoppers about gaming. The magazine is just a part of Asdas Games First strategy, and sits alongside larger ranges, more space and new in-store fixtures.

This is the largest circulation of any games magazine publication, issue 1 has had over 2 million copies produced. It will be a quarterly publication, and the first issue goes out in the August Asda magazine as an insert.

The Asda Games Magazine has a true magazine look and feel with:
• Games features, previews, advertisements and competitions (we have a laptop, Wii, DS and games up for prizes in issue 1)
• Educational hardware and accessories features
• Reviews and contents written for Asda families
• Guest family and Asda colleague reviews

Look out for one in an Asda store near you soon!

ISIS Adventure - Ten Clues

Right, I’ve managed to work out the ten clues, it uses a substitution code but clue six must have a few typo’s. I worked out what clue one means, about keeping it northfacing. You have to use the suns on the ISIS as a guide. If you are reading this and want some help on the clues, please email me as I dont want to post them here.

I found a pic of the key inside. Not sure if I’ll manage to see one in real life…

Me and My Isis

A good friend brought me one of these for my birthday. Okay, here we go. I’ve opened the box, and its like a weighty rubix cube straight from the mummy. I’m going to try and crack this thing and I’ll keep you posted on my developments. I’m confused straight away, as I’ve been told I have 10 clues, but there are only 8 clues on the box. Hmmm. I’ve also paid for the encryption files, and I’m more confused than ever.

A training room with a view

A new thought and certainly a service development idea is that of extending our range of training to include a higher level sales skills course, covering advanced sales and management topics. We run a similar course specifically looking at selling high end printing products to a direct corporate sales force and those learnings and principles could form the basis of a real word sales development course that would have real relevence. A big part of my thinking to that it would be great to run this kind of course away from the standard venues. I found this place , but I’m not sure if we could run a broadband line to it?

Creation Utd is born

Okay, its important to firstly point out that Creation United isn’t our name. In truth, our team name isn’t suitable for the company home page. As you might have guessed, we had our first inter-company football match last night, with the BT team (Dave, ‘the meat’, P-Pete, Steve and I) taking on Marketing (Pete, Chris, Colin, Pat and Brian), and from next Thursday we’ll be playing in an MK league. The run out was more important than the score (although just for historical reasons I should point out that the BT team won), and I’ll keep you posted on our first competitive outing next week. Watch this space…
