Including the @TitanicRealTime project, which marked 100 years since the sinking of the Titanic, with 'real-time' tweets as if from passengers and crew on board, describing the voyage and the disaster that followed as they happened. @TitanicRealTime won the IPG's Nielsen Digital Marketing Award 2013, as well as receiving a commendation for the Futurebook Awards 2012 'Best integrated digital marketing campaign' and being nominated for The Bookseller's Marketing Campaign of the Year 2013. The page attracted well over one hundred thousand followers and even received celebrity endorsement from Emma Stone in Vogue magazine. <img src="http://payload105.cargocollective.com/1/0/5863/4416369/chriswest_titanicrealtime.JPG" width="670" height="446" width_o="978" height_o="652" src_o="http://payload105.cargocollective.com/1/0/5863/4416369/chriswest_titanicrealtime_o.JPG" data-mid="24895963" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload105.cargocollective.com/1/0/5863/4416369/chriswest_mysterypresstwitter.JPG" width="670" height="446" width_o="1383" height_o="922" src_o="http://payload105.cargocollective.com/1/0/5863/4416369/chriswest_mysterypresstwitter_o.JPG" data-mid="24896092" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload105.cargocollective.com/1/0/5863/4416369/nagtwitterscreenshot_smaller copy copy.jpg" width="670" height="369" width_o="1276" height_o="704" src_o="http://payload105.cargocollective.com/1/0/5863/4416369/nagtwitterscreenshot_smaller copy copy_o.jpg" data-mid="23401349" border="0" align="left"/> I have been fortunate enough to be entrusted with designing the logos and looks of The History Press's various social media projects on twitter.
