Only an hour and a half til train time...

Fingers, toes, eyes, ears, everything crossed that the 6.30 from Kings Cross to Newcastle behaves and leaves on time this evening....

Looking forward to three and a half hours with lots of fellow Geordies, soaking up their accents and getting all excited about being up North again.

Merry Christmas to all our faithful followers...erm, that'll be you then Dave...and seeing as you sit opposite me I could have just said it in person...

See you in 2010!!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

Apart from Joe Corcoran.

Xmas Boo

See what I did there? A headline to counter-balance the previous post's headline? Classic copywriting, that! That's why we're paid the big bucks. 

And apparently why we're being briefed on yet another pitch this morning.

Feel like I've opened the window of my advent calendar and found that someone's eaten my little chocolate treat, and there (in the space where the chocolate was) is an illustration of the three wise men being sick on one another.

Whatever happened to winding down for Christmas?

Xmas Cheer

Check out the Christmas themed banner! It's like Google, only slightly shitter.

Even in between working on The Sun and Bupa we still find time to think of Jesus' birthday.

Happy Birthday Baby Jesus!

Poncing about....

You will not believe how long it took me to decide on our new colours...

'What new colours?' I hear you ask.....

Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!

In an attempt to get down with the kids (and also find a better way of showing our parents that we actually do produce work now and again) we've been experimenting with the idea of an online portfolio.

You can see it here. It's the basic version at the moment. Like a ZX Spectrum. Or the fat guy in the picture dressing up as Tron. But rest assured, it will be the all-singing-all-dancing-MacBook Pro-less-revolting-man-in-Lycra soon.

Let us know what you think. We have lots more stuff to add, obviously.

Oh how we love brand guidelines....

The brief was simple. 'A tactical ad to tell people that you now get additional extras when you buy a BMW please'. 'Certainly sir'.

A sweet idea ensued.

That was beautifully and elegantly shot by genius photographer Nick Meek.

Finely tuned by Brad Eagle at Tag.

And then......BANG! Out of no where brand guidelines hit us like a tonne of bricks.

Hopefully you can still see the thing of beauty it could've been....

Onwards and upwards....
