Cleaning House and New Websites

Clearing House

The last few months have been really stressful with a number of family related issues taking precedent but that has not meant we have stopped. As we come to the close of September the plan is to clean house both metaphorically and physically.

In terms of emails we will be clearing out the current accounts and handling the backlog with a view to renegotiating terms and updating approaches with clients which brings us to the next part, we have been developing a digital magazine project that will be online toward the end of the year, it requires a little finessing and a final choice on what it will represent as a whole but it will fall under the established Lost banner we have created which will be primarily run by The Lost Agency, something that we created to handle marketing and management for the inhouse elements of our work.

JamesC will be relaunching a site with a view to a fresh start and a clean slate, his extended break and working on things that have required NDAs or just been with private clients has become the impetus to redevelop his work and take additional training in key areas that will come into their own later with the magazine site and eventually productions under the Lost banner. We have maintained and added to his list of domain names and his new site will reflect the changes he is making to his own work and career.

We appreciate that this may have caused issues in the short term as we have been very quiet and want to thank people for their continued support of the Lost as we push forward.
