Gateway Media starting to make real waves in the construction industry.

We have been working for some time in the construction industry creating record of progress video’s, timelapse video’s and training videos and have had a very positive response.

Having started with a single newsletter production contract with Carillion the time spent developing relationships within key accounts has lead to new contacts with some of the top construction firms in the UK including VINCI, Balfour Beatty, Network Rail and London Underground. All very exciting when you consider the traditionally slow take up of new technologies for the industry.

Our latest success is to be commissioned to create record of progress videos on the Kings Cross Station Redevelopment being carried out by VINCI and Network Rail.

Top Construction Firm Embraces Digital Communications Revolution

VINCI Construction UK Limited is using digital media agency, Gateway Media London, to support the work they are undertaking for Network Rail as part of the £500m redevelopment of King’s Cross station. The award-winning media agency are producing a series of record-of-progress style video updates to be used for internal and external communication, highlighting the construction industry’s move to using digital media as a more effective form of communication.

Fred Garner, Programme Director for the King’s Cross project said, “We understand the benefits of using these new techniques to enhance communication. The industry is moving in this direction to be more dynamic in the current market, and we’re happy to have Gateway Media on board as we move with it.”

Gateway Media, who previously worked with the Company on its Docklands Light Railway Capacity Enhancement Project, will produce a regular progress update for the duration of the project, with plans to compile a full-length documentary on completion in 2011.

Their manager, Simon Baker, is pleased to be continuing the relationship; he said, “Large construction firms are taking advantage of the added value that digital media can bring to the industry. Now more than ever, Project Managers are looking at creative ways to add value to their communications strategies and at using digital media as a source of competitive advantage and cost savings.”
