Project Manager
Corporation Pop is an award-winning agency with a rich background in the design and development of apps, websites and immersive technology. We've been making our clients stand out from the crowd for 30+ years and we do that by pushing the boundaries of creativity through the innovative use of technology.
Work and services:
Our entertainment client portfolio includes some of the UK's most high-profile music festivals, such as Creamfields, Download and Wireless Festival, as well as one of the biggest outdoor arts events ever seen in the UK and live audience participation events at arenas across the US. On the other end of the scale, one of our longest standing clients is an independent arts organisation in South Yorkshire, whose website we've managed for over twenty years.
Corporation Pop has worked in the digital health sector for over a decade. Our work includes a mental health support app for healthcare professionals, the digitisation of a chronic fatigue clinic's service, and an app to identify the signs of postnatal depression. We created a paediatric healthcare platform for kids with a cancer diagnosis, whilst also delivering major pieces of software for some of NHS England's biggest Trusts.
We've also produced immersive games, educational AR and VR experiences for school kids, an AR robot to help kids learn about road safety, and a QR code-activated, web-based game which uses gamification to convey what good employment looks like. Take a look at our website, we're really proud of our work.
The Pop mindset:
Corporation Pop believes in doing a job well, to the very highest standard, and our Clutch client reviews are testament to that. We're not interested in a quick buck and firmly believe the work we do is a reflection of our people and our organisation's principles.
We're a sociable, close-knit team of experts and innovators. We thrive on personal interaction giving each other the space to explore, whilst expanding our collective skill set. A corporate hamster wheel, we are not
