Clemens Hackl Design is proud to be a partner of the African and African-Caribbean Design Diaspora, a fantastic initiative, promoting the creative skills and commercial potential of ethnic minorities from African and African-Caribbean backgrounds in the UK. Organised and curated by the British European Design Group, funded by the British Arts Council and in partnership with the London Design Festival, the project will launch alongside the London Design Week in September this year.

We are particularly delighted to be in the Steering Commitee of this exciting project.

Clemens Hackl Design also is the official design partner and our commission includes the development and design of the initiative's identity, the catalogue and event guide as well as the website. We are very excited to be involved and we are looking forward to some great exhibitions this September.

Trend Stream has released a mini version of its Global Web Index — a syndicated market research service on web behavior and social media — in interactive infographic form. The tool provides an insightful look at the social media profiles of various online users.

Trend Stream’s “LITE” two-step tool lets users pick a country and define a specific audience — by gender, age and attitude — to pull up social media behavior and attitude analysis. The tool will then return a bevy of stats encompassing social media motivations, activities and brand perceptions for the selected audience and the entire country.

The idea behind Global Web Index LITE is to give brands and marketers a snapshot of the social media preferences and motivations of their online audience.
