We’ve just made a book (retro!) called Stories from the edge of the known world.  The bound hardback is home to ten adventurous tales including an Antarctic voyage, a front-line reporter’s account in Iraq and blog posts from a mission building a life changing eye hospital in Tanzania.

Each one is carefully written to sway our client’s name here opinion of their brand.

The aim is to help them see that behind the technology they produce are real stories of passion and the human spirit … and, in turn, help us make more engaging advertising for them.

We were very privileged to be invited to our first SheSays event. 60 minutes of intense book critique and mentoring at the offices of Wieden plus Kennedy.

It was like speed dating. 10 minutes for teams/designers to pour their souls out, seeking jobs…advice…love.

Some great ideas and beautiful pieces of design made it a real worthwhile evening. Good luck to all that attended and to any beanbags I sat on.

The latest edition of Gum magazine, our in-house rag, created by staff, is here! You can have a read (and maybe even bag a copy for yourselves) at GU towers. This special pocket sized issue reviews the last decade and comes with a free 2010 calendar illustrated by some of our secret artist movement. Turns out there’s quite a lot of them! Well, twelve.

There are also a few insights into the people who work here . . .
