This was a quick fire round of some brilliant and interesting case studies, all focused on specific audience groups and looked at the definition of success. Therefore in the essence of it being quick, short and snappy, heres mainly the links  and some very short notes on the various sites.  Really pleased to see Hartlepool, a small gallery up on stage.
