Looking forward to 2012
Happy new year to all our followers!
After the worldwide shockwave that was 2011 I’m sure we’re all hoping that this year will be a little calmer, but we may well be disappointed. Here in the UK alone we have the Olympic Games, the Queen’s Jubilee, discussion and debate about the future of the United Kingdom [...]
Man on a Mission
We’ve been delighted to be working with Anthony Nolan to promote their donor register. Over the past few weeks we’ve visited Birmingham and London with TV presenter and writer Hardeep Singh Kohli in a quest to sign up more potential donors who could save a life if they are a match for someone with leukemia.

Read more10:10 event checklist
We have been working with 10:10 to produce a simple checklist to get organisations started on the sustainability journey. It’s now available to download from the link on the right of the page. It’s not intended as a comprehensive list, and we’re certainly not claiming that if you do these ten things you’ll automatically be [...]
Read moreNew case study – Jose Cuervo
We’ve just added a new case study showcasing a fantastic installation we managed last month for Jose Cuervo. Check it out here. The exhibition stand was part of the Imbibe 2011 trade show at Earls Court and it definitely stood out from the crowd. It was a lot of work in a very small amount [...]

Read moreKatine – It Starts With a Village
We had the pleasure of organising a conference for the Guardian last week focussing on the work they’ve been doing in the village of Katine in Uganda. Speakers at the event included Lord Malloch-Brown and Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian, and the seminar was followed by a reception and private view of a new [...]
Read moreGreen Games?
There must have been some nervous faces in Canary Wharf as the PR disaster of the Delhi Commonwealth Games began to unfold a couple of weeks ago. With LOCOG, the 2012 organising committee, based a stones throw from our offices in Canary Wharf, the spectre of the London games becoming a similar mire of unfinished [...]
