We’ve only gone and done it, we’ve made our way into the local press.

Media Modus in the News

One of our clients ( mydish.co.uk ) hit the big time, appearing in front of the dragons on the BBC’s prime time show “Dragons Den”. After hours of duelling both Deborah Meaden and Theo Pathetis were interested, Theo offered Carol Savage a job but it was Deborah with the first offer, she wanted more equity for her money asking for 15%, Theo quickly followed with an offer of his own. He wanted to take 30% of the company as a split between them, after what seemed a short but awesome moment the offer was rejected and Carol chose Deborah as the dragon of choice. Now they have Deborah as part of their already excellent team the future is going to be a very exciting time for all concerned.

So what has this to do with us?

We built it! I remember sitting with Carol in her home discussing her next project, A few ideas were thrown around but none did she show more passion for than “the recipe website”. It was going to allow people to upload their recipes to keep safe and share with friends and family, it wasn’t long before the idea had grown into a full blown social networking site with massive potential for growth.

At this stage budget was in question, calling it a “shoe string” was giving it too much credit ( excuse the pun ), it was going to take someone with absolute belief and 100% commitment to build the site.

There was no doubt about Carols expertise and her ability to take this idea to the next level. She was already accomplished with several businesses under her belt, having an amazing power of persuasion, she needed a developer as committed ( and excited ) as she was and that is where we came in. I swear if she had told me the sky was a funny shade orange I would have believed her.

We were able to take the idea and make it a reality, becoming part of the team and working closely with Carol not forgetting to mention one of the finest minds Ken and marketing genius Helga we set about building this thing.

It was clear, we were going to have to use some tried and tested technology, now was not the time for huge learning curves we had to be sure that if things go wrong which invariably they do, we were able to lift the hood and fix it ourselves. The budget was not going to carry the weight of any other way. Out were third party tools and in was building it ourselves, we decided we would have to be intimate with our code and systems, flexibility and agility were going to be key to helping Carol do what she needed to do and this was the only way.

The story is a long one with many twists and turns, off hand it spans a year and half maybe more, it’s an exciting one with ups and downs, lows and highs. I will post more of the story in due course. For now suffice it to say, we are ecstatic and congratulate Carol on her success and admire her Tenacity, I suspect the future is going to be great for mydish.co.uk and all who sail in her.

Well done and Congratulations.
