We’re quite adaptable when it comes to graphic design services. If you’ve scrolled through our graphic design work on our projects page, you may think ‘we’re too this’ or ‘we’re too that’. You’d be wrong! We can produce anything. We have grunge, to corporate, fun and serious designs. Whatever the brief, we can accommodate. We […]

The DM Lab are proud sponsors of the ‘Small to Medium Business of the Year’ Just one of the categories at the Herefordshire Business Awards 2018 After being in business for 8 years, 4 of those being as The DM Lab, last year saw us pick up our first award. EVER! It was at the Herefordshire Business […]

Last year we were lucky enough to pick up an award at the Sunshine Radio Pride Awards 2017 for ‘Entrepreneur / Business of the Year’. Very unexpected based on who we were up against! However very gratefully received, and the Sunshine Radio Pride Award is still proudly displayed on our wall in our office. As […]

If you manage a Facebook page, you may (or may not) have noticed the cover image dimensions (photo or video) have changed. We noticed the cover image dimensions have changed on our Facebook page and have been trying to figure out how it resizes from desktop to mobile. Very irregular especially on some phones. If […]

Since summer 2018 keeps on giving, in both a weather and event context, we’ll keep taking! Saturday It was another scorcher this weekend and with loads going on, we had to start early to cram it all in. It started on Saturday, early on Saturday with a look at what Sunshine Radio Horsepower Motor Show […]

As we’ve mentioned previously, we offer design AND print under one roof, thanks to Printed.com. Fortunately this service has been widely well received and we have successfully undertaken a significant number of print jobs since we joined in May 2017. In fact we have had 42 print jobs to date, averaging about 3 projects a […]

Another busy weekend this weekend gone for us! Since summer is here and apparently not just for a day or two like summers past, we are making the very most of it! Supporting local events and organisations while also spending time with our families. The weekend before last was the Sundogs Festival, last weekend was […]

Shobdon Food and Flying Festival This weekend saw the annual Shobdon Food and Flying Festival return to Shobdon Airfield for 2018. The sun was game for the weekend at least! We had to decide which day to visit and opted for the Sunday. Why? To see the Spitfire and Hurricane…Along with all the other cool […]

Event marketing and management for the Sundogs Festival 2018 As soon as last years’ Sundogs Festival finished, we still had work to do. We collected hundreds of event photos and hours of video footage that would all help towards marketing this years’ event. Preparation began for the 2018 festival by producing an infographic summarising the […]

Although we began trading in 2010, the business took a new, focused direction in 2014 when we rebranded from McTip IT to The DM Lab. Since June 6th, 2014 (coincidentally D-Day so at least we won’t forget our own birthday) we have enjoyed continued and growing success. We’ve met some great people and businesses along […]

Pegasus Ultra Running – #TheVOGUM Any business owner will know that if you put your mind to something, anything can be achieved. If you don’t try, you’ll never know what can be done. We took this mentality from the workplace and challenged ourselves this weekend. We stepped out of our comfort zone and literally into […]

They are coming thick and fast now. As mentioned in a previous post, our new office is looking pretty bare so we want to fill it up with stuff we are proud of and most importantly we are a part of. This one epitomises that. We got stuck into Breast Cancer Awareness month Back in […]

Our ‘Wall of Fame’! We’ve got a couple of Sale Sharks signed shirts. We’ve got an awesome pink shirt with our logo on as part of ‘Lucs in Pink’. To add to this, we’ve got a shirt courtesy of Greyhound RFC – Midlands 5 West (North) league champions! You know by now we’re huge rugby […]

We’ve got a new office in the centre of town. It’s pretty bare at the minute but we’re slowly filling it up! So far, we have a signed Denny Solomona shirt, but since then we’ve been able to add a Sale Sharks European Competition shirt signed by the team! We picked this up at their […]

There was only one place we were going to be today…Mortimer Park With so much riding on the outcome of today’s game, there was no other place we’d be as players, sponsors but most of all supporters of the club. With an inflatable obstacle course for the kids, a taster of what’s to come in […]

What an incredible day Saturday 5th May was for The DM Lab at Sale Sharks! If you didn’t already know, we were invited to Sale Sharks by our partners UKFast for an awesome matchday hospitality experience, the match itself and then onto The Mere for their End of Season Awards Dinner. The day started early […]

Another weekend gone, another game of rugby behind us. Last Saturday we went up to Mortimer Park to get behind the boys. Lucs are currently second from bottom, in the relegation zone. They have 2 games in hand over other teams because of postponed fixtured during one of the several winters we’ve experienced! In order […]

As any business owner knows, it’s important to have goals and aspirations. This year, we’re able to call ourselves a multi-award winning company thanks to our successes last year. Every step we take is a step in the right direction. Every business owner has a hero, whether it’s a pioneer in their industry or simply […]

The trouble with being so active in supporting local sports clubs means that we, unfortunately, can’t be everywhere all at once! This weekend we took a trip over to Ledbury RFC to support their One Club Day. Not only that we wanted to get a look at our newly erected pitchside boards. The clubs we […]

With under 10 employees we consider The DM Lab to be so much more than a Micro Business. Why? We’ve put together a few points below to explain what it is our Micro Business, The DM Lab, does and what we want to achieve… Here’s a brief description of our Micro Business, the products or […]

As usual, there’s loads going on here but it probably wouldn’t be of any interest. So, as not to neglect our blog further, here’s something a little more interesting… Here at The DM Lab we’re huge fans of rugby. Following recent trips to Twickenham to see England v Wales and England v Ireland, we took […]

This week was the same as any other week. Working on projects, meetings, calls and picking up a few new jobs. However this week was made even more amazing than usual with the addition to something very cool. Thanks to Olivia and UKFast, our amazing partners, we have received something very cool which we are […]

As a design and digital marketing agency, we like to thing we do things well. We like to think we do things properly too! We’re not sure how engaging digital marketing […]

The DM Lab – A Small Digital Marketing Agency With BIG Ambitions Well, we’re well into 2018 now and we have already met some great new people and businesses through our agency. We get asked these questions frequently. So here is a little introduction to our digital marketing agency The DM Lab. Where we came […]

It’s the end of the first month of 2018. It’s gone pretty quick! However we still can’t let go of 2017 and can’t bring ourselves, still, to say goodbye. It was a fantastic year. The business achieved so much and we as individuals did so much. We put together this infographic over on visual.ly of The […]
