A bit of background…
March 12, 2008
In November 2007, an elite team of two from Box UK attended the BBC Innovation Labs Launch day in Cardiff.
The BBC Labs are a series of creative workshops aimed at independent media companies with a track record of producing innovative new media & vision products. Split into 4 regions, each workshop offers ten companies an opportunity to work with BBC commissioners and other mentors during an intensive 5-day period to develop an idea and prepare a final pitch.
On 31 January 2008 Box UK submitted a series of proposals which competed with over 250 applications submitted UK wide for one of the coveted 40 workshop places.
Finally on Tuesday 4 March, after much page refreshing on our part, the nail biting was over when the BBC announced that we were one of the winners of the Wales and West Midlands lab.
We are overjoyed at getting such a fantastic opportunity and thought we’d use this blog to track our progress through fine tuning the idea and taking part in the labs. So, the question now is how do we make our idea so utterly fantastic that the BBC can’t refuse…
