About
Jamie Delo came up with the idea for Project WORD as he neared the end of his degree in computer science at Loughborough University. He launched the company with his partner Sophia Luisada in May 2008 and a revised version of the website went live in August.
“We thought this would be a fun, low-cost and simple way of advertising businesses online. We enable businesses to give potential customers an insight into what they have to offer by defining a relevant keyword,” explains Jamie(22).
“We have already received great feedback from people who have seen an increase in visitors to their website after signing up to Project WORD.”
“There is so little that you can buy for £1 and this gives people the chance to be part of a fun concept while also promoting their business.”
Having completed his degree, Jamie is concentrating on developing the business full-time while Sophia(20), is studying art and design management at De Montfort University.
The couple both come from Shropshire.
