Affino Site Showcase - Portobello Rocks!

We’re very pleased to announce the launch of the Portobello Rocks! site. It’s still a bit rough around the edges, but time’s short. It’s for a fantastic cause, namely the preservation of the character of Portobello Road in an increasingly commercial world.

Portobello Road is pretty local to Comrz’s London base, only around 10 minutes away on the bike, and has such a unique character that it’s got to be worth keeping. It’s also a great tourist attraction, in a way that another ordinary High Street will never be (and which developers are looking to remake Portobello Road into).

The team behind Portobello Rocks! are doing a great job of promoting awareness and getting the community behind the cause. They came to us early on with the idea, and we leapt at the chance of becoming a prime sponsor and their online solution partner.

The Portobello Rocks event itself which will be on the 17th July at the Tabernacle will feature a host of great local artists and is being backed by some very impressive ambassadors including Richard Curtis, Emma Freud, Kevin Spacey, John Bird, Nick Mason and Christopher Scholey.

"We at Portobello Rocks! Are truly grateful to have received the sponsorship and support from the team at Comrz. Our goals would have been impossible to achieve in the timeframe we had without the help and guidance from the Comrz team. Working with Affino makes the route to market effortless, and instead of focusing on coding we are able to focus on content and integration, and reaching our target audience."

by Samuel Olsson, Val Jobara and Fraser Kee Scott of Portobello Rocks!

Initially the Portobello Rocks site is purely promotional, but that will change as Portobello Rocks! becomes a fixture of the Portobello / Notting Hill scene.

You can get tickets for the event here, go for it.
