We've had a busy close season working away on upgrades and improvements on the Clydesdale Bank Premier League Score Selector.  The new SPL season kicks off on Saturday and the lateral liners have their league setup and ready to go with every member of staff putting their money where their mouth is.  Seeing as we can't win any of the main prizes (£10,000 to the winner, £5000 for all six scores and £500 monthly prizes and various weekly prices) we have a kitty of £100 up for grabs.

We've added lots of new features so if you've not signed up then click here. Or visit the site here.

The Official CB site, developed in conjunction with The Sports Business, made its debut just a season ago, with its insightful, informative and entertaining approach to Scotland’s top flight football league, the SPL. The Lateral Line team tackled the project with the usual energetic inventiveness and the end product has established itself as a firm favourite on the Scottish soccer scene.

The Score Selector game is a particular success, with over 10,000 regular users. Result!  See what the fans are raving about by clicking here.

The Abarth motor car will only ever be available in limited numbers, from only a select few dealerships, so the choice of marketing agency is of paramount importance. Lateral Line handled the full range of creative services, including dealer website, dealer press advertising, posters, direct mail and e-mail campaigns.

The highly sophisticated Abarth can be almost infinitely adapted to individual preference… and Lateral Line had to demonstrate the same independence and flexibility of thought in developing and delivering this multi-faceted project.  Take a tour through our work below.

New animated presentation premiers at Barcelona conference

A five-minute animated graphic presentation created by Lateral Line was a key feature on HSL’s showstand at the prestigious GSMA World Mobile Conference held recently in Barcelona. 

The corporate piece provides a technical overview of the Livingston-based company’s operations in mobile network and infrastructure provision. HSL’s commitment to superior service, resilience, reliability and innovation is interpreted in a visual style that instantly relates to the international market amid the context of a busy, dynamic setting.
