The Hut looking to promote Zavvi

MCV Staff 4th March 2009 Media & PR

The Hut Group is on the search for a brand agency as it looks to launch an awareness campaign designed to highlight its recent resurrection of Zavvi.

The move comes after The Hut bought the rights to the Zavvi name and its online retail restructure.

Marketing Week says The Hut is looking to compete with the likes of HMV, Play and Amazon for the 600m retail spend gap left in the market following the collapse of Woolworths. The Hut Group’s chief exec Matthew Moulding said a new agency is sought to grow Zavvi’s customer base, with the possibility of a Christmas TV campaign touted.

The private company hopes to increase its turnover from 25m to 75m by the end of the year.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
