I was lucky enough to spend some time with Norman Rennie at the stunning Seamill Hydro Hotel and Resort this afternoon. I was blown away by the view, I never get tired of it, I love Seamill on a sunny day.

 Norman and his team at the Seamill Hydro are working in partnership with the West Kilbride Festival Committee to host Artie’s Tartan Tales, a fundraising event for the West Kilbride Christmas Lights campaign: #LightupWK

 You’ll be delighted to know that the team at the Seamill Hydro are all set for Artie’s Tartan Tales on Saturday.  We still have a few tickets left, so get in touch if you would like to come along: [email protected]

 The Seamill Hydro has been incredibly supportive of the work we are doing for West Kilbride Yuletide including our mentoring programme and the Christmas Lights fundraising. It is so wonderful to see The Seamill Hydro engaging with local community groups and businesses to make a positive impact in West Kilbride and Seamill.

 As a local resident, I enjoy popping down to the Seamill Hydro for a bite to eat and I recently attended the Ayrshire Business Awards, where Gosh Creative was a finalist in the Developing the Young Workforce category, however, after my tour of the new stylish rooms, I am looking for excuses to stay.

 I have shared some photos of my visit so you can see for yourself, but I promise you the photos simply can’t do it justice.

You might have heard but…

GOSH Creative is a finalist in the Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce Awards! And we are over the moon!

So here’s a little bit about why…

We are finalists in the Developing the Young Workforce category, sponsored by the Munro Partnership, along with Ashleigh Limited and Ayr Gaiety Theatre with Ayrshire Youth Arts Network (AYAN).

Ashleigh Limited is a construction company that encourages young people to learn a new trade that they can to take with them through their working lives. As you can imagine, this is of tremendous benefit to young people who are just starting out on their career journey.

Ayr Gaiety Theatre with AYAN aim to increase the art opportunities for young people between 11-19 by ten percent. They work with places such as the University of the West of Scotland and local councils to bring the best opportunities to young people that they can.

So why are we finalists I hear you ask?

Over the past two years we have been working closely with local secondary schools as part of the West Kilbride Yuletide mentoring programme. 

The mentoring programme gives senior pupils the opportunity to work alongside mentors who teach them how to plan, promote and deliver a successful event. From toilets and parking to marketing and promotion; we’ll teach them the tricks of the trade. 

This year’s the pupils will also be working towards SQA qualifications in Events Investigation, Events Management, Social Networking and Working with Communities. As well ,as racking up volunteer hours for their Duke of Edinburgh Awards and the Saltire Award.

Pupils also get involved in designing the event’s logo and anything else that needs to be made for the event or fundraising.

We've all been there, sat in a chair in front of the designer you've been following online for months, with an idea you're sure your customers will love. You're really excited to see your idea come to life but when the designer turns their computer screen round, your idea now looks like a Picasso got into a brawl with Jackson Pollock.

Here are five quick tips to ensure your ideas don’t get lost in translation:

1. Company Values 

What do you care about? Tell them what your company values are and what you want to be known for. Ensure that you can share a few key words to show that.

2. Who? What? 

These words are the foundations of business and have been repeated in classrooms across the country - know who you are marketing to and what you are selling to them. Not only will this help your designer but it will help you focus your business strategies and marketing campaigns.

3. What colours don’t you like? 

Okay, so how about we get to know each other a little better, huh? Your designer should give you direction on colours based on your product and current design trends. Help them out and narrow down some colours you know you would love or hate. This means you can create a truly personal brand identity that speaks for you.

4. Keep it simple 

Creating a design brief should be easy. Include the general idea of what you want your logo to look like, your target audience and deadlines. Including your company's background story can also be useful. Keep your word count to a minimum and your language simple but feel free to have wacky, unique or even crazy ideas! We love that. 

5. Brainstorm 

Before meeting with your designer take ten minutes out of your busy schedule to write down as many ideas as you can. This can help spark a discussion that will lead to an idea even better than you imagined. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Do I know my company values? (trust me they're important)

Do I know who I'm selling to?

What will I be selling?

What would I respond well to if I were the customer?

What do I envision for my company?
