But look what I CAN do....

Apologies to everyone for the shocking weather we've been having.

Dave's right as always....my fault entirely. I take my eye off the weather/pitch winning/ having ads approved by super safe clients for one minute and look what happens?! The blame really does land firmly at my door...

But, I hope the attached pictures will make up for the five feet of snow in the Outer Hebrides (I made that bit up...) cos this is what I've been doing....

His name is Marvin and he is the first ever, totally out of my own head, knitted by my own hand, completely unique Memo Monster!

He started life on the corner of a post it note and then through a bit of experimenting, a little bit of guess work, an introduction to knitters' graph paper (yes, it does exist!) and not an insubstantial quota of sheer good luck, I managed to work out a pattern and brought him to life.

And I'm so very , very proud.

Can you tell?

Pitch Lost

We didn't win the pitch. It was all Jane's fault.

Also, a Radox radio campaign we recorded before Christmas has been pulled by the head client. That was Jane's fault too.

Oh, and all that snow we're having... you know where this is heading...

Life's a Pitch

Shocking pun, but the best I could do while sitting in a recording studio doing narratives. 

Still, we'll be done soon and then it's back to work to fret as a pitch group. 

Happy Days.

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!
