Who’s Goram? Who’s Vincent?
Hello can I speak to Mr Goram please? No. Mr Vincent then? No again I'm afraid. Why not? Well because they're two mythical giants. Brothers in fact. Who in their gigantic efforts to impress a Princess created the world famous Avon Gorge in Bristol. So why are we named after them?

A letter from the intern's desk
By Josh Newton
My internship at Goram & Vincent began over the summer while I was searching for something else to do while working part-time with Avon Wildlife Trust, where I look after their digital and social media side of things. I fired off emails to a bunch of digital and advertising agencies in Bristol and Bath asking if they wanted a keen young graduate to do any work for them (for free). As with almost all job applications, around 80% of companies are so busy and successful that they can’t possibly dedicate 20 seconds to send an email back saying ‘no,’ and a couple were kind enough to respond saying its something they weren’t taking anyone on at the moment.

Geosocial - Is location replacing connection?
Will geosocial and location-based apps be a key digital trend in 2012?
It’s 11.44am, January 18th (my birthday actually, as an aside), I’m in the office, and it’s time to play with my banjo. Not alas, the musical instrument, but the ‘social discovery’ app Banjo that has been downloaded 500,000 times in its first six months since launch.
Location based apps, or geosocial to give the technology its more sexy name is often touted as being one of the key digital trends for 2012. It’s certainly been the source of some wonderful infographics from Jess3 and the next web. It’s all too easy however, especially for those of us who work in design, to be seduced by these visual delights, and to start recommending clients allocate budget to geosocial this year. But, and it’s a big but – should we be doing so? What are the facts as they currently stand?
