Turbo Lemon's approach to business isnt strictly, well, business. It soon became obvious that we were in it largely because we love design and communication. Web design, graphic design, visual communication, the written word. Our passion was in our work and how we could help people with our creative solutions.

With a life-long passion for art and design and an ever-present affinity to technology I've been designing and developing websites since all the way back in 1996.
In my professional career I worked at the BBC for 7 years designing services for the web, interactive TV, mobiles and future emerging platforms. So I've learnt a great deal about all the many facets of user experience design such as user interfaces, usability, information architecture, accessibility and of course visual design.
Leaving the BBC I founded my own digital design studio Pixel Air, where I work today and utilise my years of knowledge to push the boundaries of interaction design and create visually innovative and user friendly online products for a diverse range of clients.

The great commercial opportunity of the decade 2010-2020 is centred on aggregating legacy customer data and tracking customers web and mobile activity, but think it through, what are you going to do if your system can’t handle the data?
What Do We Do?
Funnel 21 provides one aggregated customer and supplier database with no IT hardware spend. Our platform is built to maximise commercial opportunity and minimise administration.
Does It Work?
The base technology we implement is being utilised by Lockheed Martin to aggregate the data of the 1300 suppliers with whom they build military aircraft.
Sports and Media
A large number of sporting brands from and the USA and Europe have asked Funnel 21 if we could provide a solution. As a consequence in October 2009 we embarked on a pilot with a Premier League football club to aggregate their customer data from disparate internal systems on one platform with the aim of maximising commercial advantage. This project will provide the template for a global sports business management and database engine and give all sports partners’ massive competitive advantage in sponsorship negotiations and day to day marketing.
Sector Agnostic
We are also in discussion with major global manufacturers in the food industry, banking sector and a global marketing company. Our technology is sector agnostic and can be used to aggregate data for administrative purposes, or equally to aggregate customer bases for commercial purposes, fully preparing your business for the input of web and mobile profiling.

Christina McDermott
Freelance Journalist @ Freelance
Selected this as 2nd choice AND is a confirmed attendee
Hello there. My name is Christina McDermott, but quite a few people know me as Miss Cay.
I love Social Media in all of its various weird and wonderful forms, and particularly enjoy exploring how these emerging technologies can be used to source stories, influence brands, and contribute to the daily running of a busy newsroom.
I have written for the Independent, the Guardian, the Morning Star, Manchester Evening News, Big Issue in the North, The Big Issue, Virgin Media, Orange, BBC Manchester, AOL and Youthnet amongst others.
I’ve made podcasts for The Quietus.com and worked as a roving video journalist for local news channel Channel M.
I am also a professional blogger. In February 2009, I did a two week stint as the guest editor of women’s website Dollymix, owned by Shiny Media, and am a regular contributor to the lifestyle blog Domestic Sluttery
