About us

A history of innovation

Cimex has an exceptional track record of producing award winning interactive solutions for mobile and the web. Working in virtually every sector, we have won numerous awards for our work, but more importantly we have won our clients’ confidence, together with a reputation for consistent excellence in the evolving digital arena.

Our approach

Cimex’s business is structured around four operating groups, each focused on a different area: Business & Government, Learning, User Experience and Content.

With each project we bring our unique experience and creativity, together with the practical skills gained from having one of the few purpose built usability testing laboratories in the country. Reinforcing accessible website design audits and online sales optimisation projects, our labs let us to create digital media that consistently works harder, smarter and in tune with user needs.

Our approach mixes free thinking creativity with tough planning and strategy parameters and goals. Talented animators, illustrators, designers, developers, programmers, project managers, producers, planners, user experience consultants, researchers and writers, all work to an integrated account management system.
