C4 Publishing
C4 Publishing
C4 designs, builds and maintains for Telstra Bigpond, NRL.com, the AFL.com.au and club network (Australia’s highest traffic sports site with 2.5m monthly visitors).
BigPondSport.com and BigPond Horse Racing (which includes live streaming of the TVN video feed), so we understand the competitive online portal environment .
C4 has developed seven years expertise in the online business and over the last three years has honed its skills in delivering online publishing services.
While most agencies will deliver cutting-edge designs, C4 will deliver a design, informed by a strategy, that works.
C4’s IA/design direction is substance over style.
Contextual text links are more effective than flashy design modules.
How C4 Digital Publishing Would Work With Your Organisation
As a long-term digital partner:
We have successful relationships with all our clients
We’re in it for the long haul. We want to be the partner of choice to build out and manage digital assets
As a provider of high-end bespoke and innovative applications:
Our work is beyond the capability of most providers.
In recent times C4 Sport has produced two video applications which will redefine how video and data is consumed online.
NRL Game Analyser, launched during the 2009 finals series, is what happens when a full match replay meets match stats.
In 2008, the Rugby League World Cup application not only streamed all the matches live, it scored them and processed the match stats real-time as well.
This serves as not only a one-stop shop for covering a live tournament, it also serves as a perfect tournament archive.
C4 Publishing Case Studies
Brief
With 2m+ visitors per month, AFL.com.au is the most
popular sports site in Australia. C4 was required to
architect a solution for the AFL network, which also
includes 16 club sites, that enables the site to scale to
cater for a peak load of 80,000 users per hour, while
still delivering a rich, award winning design with high-
end functionality to an extremely passionate fan base.
Solution
C4 rebuilt the AFL site and 16 club sites from the
ground up in late 2007. This included a totally new
IA/design, a major overhaul of the CMS and the
implementation of new hosting infrastructure, not to
mention the addition of new statistical data functionality
which is without peer in Australia.
Results
The AFL site was delivered for the 2008 season on
budget and on time and to spec, with an impressed
client and, just as importantly, a happier audience.
AFL
NRL
BriefIn 2007, BigPond leased the rights to the NRL.com property, leaving C4 with a new set of creative and technical objectives in order to make the site bigger and better, with more statistical analysis, more video and more opportunities for NRL fans to interact.
SolutionC4 re-architected the whole site in order to improve overall performance and usability, while also enabling new aesthetic possibilities. New Scores and News pages have made browsing for related content much easier, while statistics pages allow users to sort player and aggregate team statistics by round and by club to offer the most comprehensive dissection of the sport available.
ResultsNRL live scores continues to draw a large audience despite the ubiquity of televised matches, and the site's Fantasy League and Tipping applications are bigger than ever.
Brief
The media landscape has changed. Advertisers
demand a more interactive and results driven
experience. A major portal approached C4 to find an
engaging way to increase user interaction and
brand exposure of one of their core assets on the
NRL website, the match video.
Solution
C4 sprang into action, a innovative solution that has
reinvented the way fans consume sport vision online
- and down the track offline - creating a totally unique
user experience in the process
Result
NRL Game Analyser offers an immersive experience
not available anywhere else in Australia.

Web Innovations Case Studies
Energy Australia
BriefFollowing the success of the Energy Efficiency Centre install, Energy Australia approached C4 to develop a web site for the centre. To help manage the increasing number of delegates wishing to visit the centre C4 proposed the development of a delegate management and registration system to compliment the site.
SolutionC4 developed a full web strategy to market the site internally, deliver the message of the Energy Efficiency Centre externally and provide information on the centre. The web site shows the centre as a technological showcase by incorporating flash 360 walkthroughs and interactive maps. The site also gives delegates and VIPs a user friendly system to register their interest in visiting the EEC. A full delegate registration and management system was also built for the site and was delivered to help administrators manage the growing demand.
ResultsThe site was received with great acclaim by Energy Australia.
Cisco "Imagine If" CampaignBriefCISCO approached C4 to develop a through the line marketing campaign to promote their suite of communications solutions with an emphasis on collaboration.
SolutionC4 developed a range of communication solutions for CISCO including an interactive web presence, pre-marketing event campaigns, e-marketing strategies, live artist collaborations, launch event and direct media including rich viral components.The one of a kind web site utilises CISCO's event centre software giving users the ability to log on and take part in a live collaboration involving an award winning photo journalist and artists. Users uploaded their images and instructed the artist on how they should be used within a larger piece of artwork.
ResultsThis campaign received some truly amazing pieces of artwork created collaboratively with users. CISCO have since re-engaged C4 to continue this campaign, but this time focusing on a new target market.
