Our Adult Colouring Competition last month was such a huge success that we've decided to do another one. This time we have asked our very talented art monkey to create a Mighty Ape design for you to colour.

The winner of our competition will receive an Adult Colouring Prize Pack:

The winning colouring will also feature as the cover art on the Mighty Ape Facebook page and Mighty Ape Books Facebook page for a week which have over 260,000 followers between them!

To enter the competition download the following design and colour it in. Scan or take a photo of your completed colouring and upload it to our Facebook post with the comment #MightyApe.

Improvement to marketing emails

Company

1 comment By Dylan

Today we made an improvement to the way we send marketing email at Mighty Ape.

The change is designed to:

  • give you more visibility. Answer the question “why am I receiving this email?”
  • allow you to unsubscribe in a more granular way i.e. “I want to receive email related to Games that I’ve purchased, but not about Homeware that I’ve purchased”

Starting today, when you click Update your subscriptions from a marketing email sent by Mighty Ape, you will see a page that lists exactly why you received the email. The page will look something like the example in the image on the right.

In this hypothetical example, the you received the email because you purchased a product from the LEGO brand. If you're no longer interested in LEGO (!?) then clicking Unsubscribe from the LEGO brand will stop further emails being sent to you about LEGO.
