The most famed photographers, art directors, stylists and model agencies; the most lauded producers, location finders, photo labs, rental studios, event spaces and caterers; the pre-eminent record labels, magazines, advertising agencies, fashion designers and PR firms can all be found in LeBook. In short, LeBook is a must for everything and everyone that propels the creative industry.   To maintain their robust brand image in the digital sphere, they joined hands with #ARM Worldwide.

  LeBook presented a series of formidable challenges to #ARM Worldwide, demanding the discovery of the most fitting solutions.   One of the prominent hurdles involved upgrading the website technology to enhance the stability of the web application.
