Just wanted to say a quick hi from our new desks at number 16 Short’s Gardens.
Nope, we haven’t just opened a juice bar. Today we start as creatives at BMB. (Bye bye Glue, thank you for having us. We had an amazing 2 and a half years.)
In a break with tradition, our first day has been almost free of IT glitches. Writing this blog has been amazingly pain free!
Things we love about BMB so far:
1) There’s a brand new bar and coffee machine only metres away, with free fruit twice a week.*
2) Justin from IT. He comes a running and fixes everything (no need to log a call with a helpdesk in Chingford first.)
3) Everyone’s really lovely and friendly.
4) We just listened to a live pianist in Neal’s Yard whilst eating hippie vegan takeaway. Basically like being back at the Secret Garden Party. Almost.
5) After being here one morning, we’ve been made partners already!
Well, actually, everyone has. It’s a clever new scheme like wot John Lewis do.
*In hindsight, pressing the macchiato button just seconds before one of the planners began his talk on innovation probably wasn’t the best move. Poor Paul Blundell’s first minute was drowned out by the spluttering of foamy milk and hissing pipes. Sorry, Paul.
Anyway, we’ve already got two briefs to get on with, so goodbye for now.
Lol & Nat.

How odd – we’ve been Link-Jacked! We’re not secretly advertising John Lewis, it seems a little elf has edited some hyperlinks into our text. Are people doing that now?!

We’ve got to the bottom of the problem. Some kind of skimlinks affiliate thing that was wrongly implemented across all our blogs. It has been fixed now so hopefully they won’t appear anymore!

One year WHU had Pony as their shirt sponsor.
After the Aldershot game that might be appropriate again.

Dave – according to the dictionary those Erudite glue posters ‘Also sticks handles 2 teapots/The suspenders r killing me/How did they pull it off? are – Knowledgeable; smart. Do they qualify as a stunt?

Grilla,
As I remember they only ran on one particular poster site.
Replaced every fortnight, one after the other.
Sticking a car to a single poster site is not mass-production, mass-market advertising.
So, IMHO, although it’s very nice, it’s a stunt.
