Glideslope came out with an awesome, darker, more industrial track - "Rebound". It deserved something spiky. Listen the track at www.glideslope.me and enjoy the art.

Call Me 911 is the number one hit single from the upcoming K-System album. Chittagong Industries took the lovely vocals of Sherry Davis and gave them a striking, unexpected interpretation in the Greenwich tunnel. This artwork was inspired by the cognitive dissonance felt from the contrast between the expressive freedom in London and demanding cultural traditions.

Crowd entertainment pioneer Uplause and the six time Finnish champion Jokerit join forces - beginning 4 March 2010. Chittagong Industries created the visuals to celebrate the event. As per the standard Chittagong Industries operating procedure, the art is as simple as possible, but not more.

I started Chittagong in the late 90s as a channel for projects too creative, mad or risky to be pursued within a large advertising agency. Focused on creating new with startups and the music industry in the aftermath of the .com crash, Chittagong v.1 produced a range of creative work. As I left the advertising industry behind me in 2003, I put Chittagong to hibernation.

7 years later I decided it was time to resurrect Chittagong. This time the recession hit even harder, and the golden handshakes sent many brave souls to establish new companies. Strapped for cash, these startups happily traded creative control for no-cost brand assets, providing Chittagong Industries complete creative freedom. It was not long until the music scene heard Chittagong Industries was back at it.

Just like it's predecessor, Chittagong v.2 operates on a non-profit basis, engaging only in inspired projects with complete creative freedom and the possibility to partner with the best creatives.
