Acts of Kindness

Published on by loreleimathias14 Comments

In a week where compassion and community spirit kicked the ass of wanton destruction and senseless riotism, we wanted to do a quick round-up of the most amazing sites which have been set up. Oddly, pretty much all of the people behind these sites seem to work in advertising.

Helpsiva.com; Keep AaronCutting; This is Our London.com; Operation Cup Of Tea ; Something Nice For Ashraf; (done by an ex- BMBer, Jamie Cowen.) Although there are so many people much worse off than Ashraf, there was something so disturbing about this film clip that it’s not hard to see why this campaign spoke to so many people.

We’ve made partner! Hello from our new home

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.

Don’t say cheese.

The ‘Campaign pose’ is one of the things we love about Campaign. Everyone always looks so darn professional and terrifying. This might be down to the fact that no one EVER smiles.  It’s amazing how ‘doing a Campaign pose’ has actually become a term in itself.

What I also love about the photographs is that you can guarantee there’ll either be an obscure prop in there or that the subject will be shot at some power enhancing angle. Continue reading “Don’t say cheese.” →
