The Big Screen at The Valley, home of Charlton Athletic Football Club has been reinstated with new hardware and BreamTeam will once again be returning to provide and run the software infrastructure.

After months of hard work behind the scenes, the club has completed a deal to replace the old Jumbotron, which was turned off at the end of last season, with a new big screen.

Charlton chief executive Stephen Kavanagh said: “This is a real statement by the club that we are ambitious to make improvements in all areas.

“No one was happy that we had a big screen in the corner of the stadium that wasn’t working, but it simply wasn’t cost-effective to continue to try to patch it up before every game, and the cost of a replacement was just too much given the club’s financial situation last year.

“We have never stopped working on plans to get the screen back up and running, however, and thanks to a lot of help from a number of people and companies, we are now in a position to start planning for a new screen.”

The innovative software, created and run by BreamTeam, is operated solely by a laptop with dual-screen setup.  The background control of the system, including teams, squads, scores, adverts, etc is all managed by BreamTeam’s Goldfish CMS software.  Additional features have now also been included to make use of the new technologies available due to the new hardware.

The new screen was announced at a Q&A session with Charlton Chairman Michael Slater and Charlton manager Chris Powell and fans were buoyed by this news.

BreamTeam Managing Director, Dan Bream said: “BreamTeam are delighted that the Big Screen at The Valley is back and we are pleased to be returning to assist with its operation.

“The screen has been sorely missed ever since it was switched off due to the disrepair of the hardware at the end of last season.  It provides a great match day experience and also enables important commercial messages to be displayed.”

BreamTeam are working around the clock in order to get the Goldfish CMS powered software updated and operational in time for the next home game against Peterborough United on Saturday, 12th February.

“This will be our fourth consecutive season of running the screen and we are looking to make use of latest technologies to provide an unforgettable match day experience,” said Dan.

Stephen Kavanagh concluded, “We can’t thank enough all those who are contributing to get the new screen installed and back up and running again.

“BreamTeam have given us invaluable assistance, and members of the club’s staff have been working long and hard on this project, so it’s going to be great to see the screen working again.”

Charlton Upbeats is a Down’s Syndrome Sports Club and as Digital Partners, BreamTeam created a website that the campaign is proud of.

The Charlton Upbeats is a bespoke programme delivered by the Charlton Athletic Community Trust for young people with Down’s Syndrome and at a recent fundraising dinner, the charity raised some £20,000, which will enable the programme to continue.

Kent based Digital Creative Company, BreamTeam, assisted with all digital aspects and branding, including the website and all video content on the night.

The new website was a must have, in order to support the programme and to provide a professional platform to attract fundraising activities through sponsorship and online donations. The website utilises a “fun” and “upbeat” style which showcases the supporting individuals and companies with external links and profiles. In addition to these, a special “Media Gallery” is featured, which displays photos and media, plus latest and archived news.

The fundraising dinner took place on October 14th 2010 at The Valley, Charlton and included a guest appearance from former Formula One World Champion Damon Hill, plus appearances from former Charlton manager Alan Curbishley, Charlton legends Keith Peacock and Steve Gritt and a handful of the Upbeats members and families also attended.

BreamTeam’s Managing Director, Dan Bream, who is also part of the Charlton Upbeats Dinner Committee said: “BreamTeam were absolutely delighted to assist with the Charlton Upbeats project; another fantastic cause provided by the Charlton Athletic Community Trust.

“This project was extremely rewarding to be part of and it enabled the team to again utilise latest technologies through our Digital Marketing Platform, including web based techniques and 3D video footage.

“The evening was a fantastic success and everyone’s hard work really paid off, in that we have now secured the immediate future of the Charlton Upbeats.”

Trust CEO Jason Morgan said: “It was a fantastic evening and I would personally like to thank everyone for their magnificent support of such a worthwhile project.”

South Sudan’s Malek Academy has been given a complete overhaul and redesign by BreamTeam in order to showcase this groundbreaking and important project.

Malek Academy is a non-profit making private institution that will cater equally for boys and girls. The Academy will provide an opportunity for 400 x 13-17 year old resident boys and girls from the whole of South Sudan to benefit from a high standard of education.

The Academy required a website to showcase the project, as well as assist in the sponsorship of buildings and infrastructure.  The main focus was the creation of an interactive “site map”, which provides zoom and pan capabilities to showcase each and every building within the Academy’s architectural plans. This was created using technologies such as AJAX and jQuery and provides detailed information for potential sponsors.

Since its launch during the September 2010, the website had already received international recognition.

BreamTeam recently produced a film for Greenwich Starting Blocks, to coincide with their annual Gala Dinner to highlight the impressive year their young athletes have had.

The Greenwich Starting Blocks Trust is a charity committed to helping young people’s sporting dreams come true. It provides bursaries to give young athletes a chance to develop their talents and it required a film that was to be shown at their annual Gala Dinner which featured guest speaker, sports presenter Steve Rider.

The concept, design and production of the film came from the BreamTeam Media studios, who wanted to produce a stirring, yet captivating animation.  BreamTeam Managing Director, Dan Bream said: “We wanted to create a video that gave an overview of the young athletes successes as well as the charity as a whole.

“The concept was to showcase the journey and as it was the annual Dinner, it was fitting to create the ‘One Year On’ title and approach.”

Featuring ten key events of the 2009/2010 year, including personal bests, medals, podium finishes and high profile fundraising events, the film made use of video clips and photo cuttings surrounding these key items.  The video was then given a first play exclusive, live at the Greenwich Starting Blocks Gala Dinner on 16th September in front of the attending guests, athletes and key personnel.

Greenwich Starting Blocks Trustee, Jo Hibbitt said: “Thank you and congratulations on making such a brilliant video.   You’ve been a terrific supporter of Starting Blocks and I’m sure all the trustees are in total agreement when I say how much we appreciate your support and the superb job you have done.”

BreamTeam created the official Greenwich Starting Block website last year and continue to provide support through our Digital Creative services.

BreamTeam have designed and built a new web presence for London based commercial cleaning company Regular Cleaning Services.

The new site creates a one-stop-shop for potential and current clients to easily explore all of RCS’s services.

A fresh look has been applied, but has preserved RCS’s brand while creating a unique overview of their services.

Not only did BreamTeam take control of all digital elements of the new website, but also provided photography to ensure all imagery used was bespoke and in-line with RCS’s core values.

Making full use of Goldfish CMS’s full feature set, the new website includes news, video content, case studies and is completely integrated into eBreamTeam, the Email Marketing Platform.
