July newsletter

We're turning five!

It's party time at Mogul as we prepare to turn 5 in August. It's a pretty exciting milestone for us!

We work in an industry that is constantly changing and evolving so it's always interesting to look back and reflect. If you've been into our office recently, you would have noticed our 'History of the Internet' timeline which Louie designed.

It maps out key points in the history of the Internet and we'll be adding to it this year with the latest digital milestones, including Mogul's 5th birthday.

We've seen a lot come and go and we're also always looking for innovative ways to help our clients.

Mostly, we're seeing everything shift to digital.

We're focussing a lot of energy into refining our strategic direction and showing why Mogul is so much more than just a 'one stop website shop'. So you'll be hearing some exciting things from us over the next few months!

Cheers,

Matt, George and the team at Mogul

A very cool project

Massey's Career Engine

Have you ever wondered how your life might have turned out if you hadn't been so slack at school - or if you had chosen a better degree? Now there's a way to find out!

We recently designed and built a really cool web application for Massey University called the Career Engine.

The Career Engine, helps schoolkids and other prospective students by providing them with a snapshot into their potential careers, based on what subject they are good at and enjoy at school.

It encourages them to think about how they want to “have a brilliant career that has an impact on the world”, and ‘wows’ them with some insights into how their life might turn out depending on the choices they make now.

The Career Engine has a user-friendly wizard interface that gathers information from you about what year you are currently in at school, your favourite subjects and what you enjoy doing and comes up with some exciting career opportunities for you.
