Zopa on BBC 1

You’ll have to forgive me for another team Poke trumpet blowing post, but the good stuff keeps on coming!

This time I want to tell you about Zopa, a project I was working on this summer. The company was featured on the BBC news a few days back. Watch the BBC spot for an understanding of how it all works…


Our brief was to bring the community aspect of the site to the fore and demonstrate how people lending to other people is quite simply the best way to do money, aswell as refreshing the look and feel of their existing website inline with the branding the company had developed with North design.

We hope to have made Zopa a far more social experience by introducing an engaging flash environment populated with real Zopa lenders and borrowers, who have real data attached to them for users to interrogate and learn more about Zopa and its markets.

The characters you meet at Zopa were illustrated by Cookie. We are all really enjoying seeing the team at Zopa introducing the characters across the site, from paddling pool parties to characters lucky enough to be equipped with rocket packs!
