Birkenhead Operatic Society Trust takes on a major online production

Dreamscape Solutions has been given the online brief to attract new talent and support for the Birkenhead Operatic Society Trust (BOST).

The Society has entrusted the creative digital media company to design and deliver a new online image for the well-known and loved performing arts group.

Dreamscape Solutions will also be implementing a new in-house ticketing system that will save BOST up to 40% in commissions it currently pays to an out sourced supplier.

The site, which will be launched at the end of August, has focussed on greater user interaction as a key element of the design, giving BOST a powerful tool to build relationships with its audience.

BOST has long been a feature of Liverpool and Merseyside arts scene. Formed in 1926, the Society regularly performs at the Philharmonic Hall, Pacific Road Arts Centre and the Liverpool Empire.

Sylvia Lewis of the BOST comments:
“We want to attract talented enthusiastic amateur performers and a new audience to our work as well as engage with the loyal base of support we already enjoy. The Society felt that our current efforts combined with a new online approach can achieve those objectives.”
Bernard McCabe managing director of Dreamscape Solutions says:
“Working with BOST as Liverpool prepares for the Capital of Culture 2008 is important to me being born and raised in Merseyside.”
McCabe continues:
“Liverpool is growing as a centre for business and with greater recognition of the power of online marketing there are many opportunities in the city. I will be devoting a great deal of my energy into continuing to develop close and long lasting bonds in Liverpool.”
Dreamscape Solutions has recently collaborated with Liverpool International Tennis Tournament and Liverpool University, providing a PDA based technology to improve the treatment of AIDS.

The 200 or so guests were also given a sneak preview of Gentry’s new television advert produced by Manchester agency BDH, which was well received.

Bernard McCabe managing director of Dreamscape Solution comments:
“Gentry Grooming is a very ambitious company and so they needed to chose carefully their digital media partner to fulfil their plans. From both parties’ part of view I believe it will prove to be a great success.”
Adele Lock, director of Gentry Grooming comments:

Trading Gossip

When Bernard McCabe was networking he never expected to be sounded out by ex-Liverpool legend and current Bolton FC manager Sammy Lee.

Bernard who runs creative digital media company Dreamscape Solutions is the Internet partner and a sponsor for the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament. Hobnobbing in the corporate hospitality tent, during a break in play, he was approached by Sammy.

Sammy was apparently interested in Bernard’s friend - in a footballing sense.

As they chatted Bernard, an Evertonian, inquired how he was getting on at Bolton.

Sammy was still impressed enough to request Bernard’s card! He was a little shocked to find Bernard was in e-commerce and his friend rather than being a wing wizard was a web wizard.

“I could have had a new career if I had played it better,” said Bernard, “But then again it could have been worse, I could have been approached by Phil Thompson who was also about.”
