April 2011
We’re getting bigger!
We’d like to introduce you to the latest additions to our team. Mark Bainbridge, former marketing director of the British Army, has joined us as non-executive advisor, while two new account managers, Millie Parker and Laura Woods, have also joined the ranks.
We are continuing to take our expertise on tour. Managing Director Oliver Russell’s latest seminar takes him to The APA Digital Breakfast, where he will be addressing the challenge of combining marketing and entertainment in front of the UK's foremost publishing houses.
If you’re interested in us giving your team some free tips of the trade, let us know and we'll arrange one of our lively workshops with video, interactivity and we’ve even been known to throw in a competition to get some lively discussion going…
Our recent work… MasterCard
We've created 'The Big Shot' - but then you knew that!

It seems to have tapped into the competitive nature of Facebook Football Fans as we’ve had an amazing response since it went live last week!
Come and have a go if you think you're good enough here

It proves what we have said again and again - the idea is the thing!
Combine a simple but targeted idea with a razor sharp script - throw in some great performances, possibly a famous face or voice and make your impact.

Spring is Sprung by Mark Bainbridge
It’s been a crazy month in communications. It has been conjectured that the laptop is set to become obsolete, Steve Jobs has unveiled the iPad 2 – it’s lighter and thinner and has a camera - hmmm... not quite the version 2.0 features we might have hoped for. Mr Lund has left the COI – I will leave you to read into Andrew Lewin’s view of that one – as they say in the London bus fraternity “all change please”… Continue reading here
 
COMPETITION
This month we jetted off to Palm Springs to capture images of the World's best tennis players at the ATP Indian Wells Masters, to use in our 2011 creative campaign for the ATP World Tour and Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. 
To win an Apple TV, just 'like' our Facebook page and answer "which tennis legend is the subject of our photo album from this years shoot?"
