Lachsbroetchen
My sister started a blog, writing about her studies (fashion design in Hamburg) and randomness around it. I'm really impressed with that and I quite like what she does. She doesn't read blogs, and she doesn't know how everything really works, but she does a fabulous job on finding out lots of stuff along the way, making up her own rules, not following others. So if you know German, have a read, if not, have a look at her illustrations. http://lachsbroetchen.blogspot.com/

Who to cheer for?

However this has now changed. We are working on Nike, as they are sponsoring Fabregas who plays in the Spanish team, and if we're lucky we might get some work through. That is – if Spain wins and the client doesn't change their mind. Inner struggle.

Door to stupidity

As far as we know Wieden+Kennedy has the one single door in the industry that opens the other way.
You have to pull it, sounds simple but it's quite unnatural. Honestly said it was a bit annoying as we looked like a pair of idiots rigorously trying to push a door open when all it needed was a little pull.
Perhaps it’s just us and we’re a bit slow, but we’d like to believe it fits with their motto of walking in stupid every morning.
It’s our third day and we’ve just about got used to it. Now we thought wouldn't it be great if the door had a shuffle mechanism that would always change the direction the door has to be opened? That would be so stupidly great.

Just after the first day

Just before the first day
It's our first day of work. We'll have to be there at 9.30, Jai is travelling all the way in from Osterley while I can snooze a bit longer, living in Aldgate East. Ten minutes walking time to W+K – one of the reasons I moved east in the first place.
We have been wearing big smiles for days. We are curious, excited and hungry for a challenge. So good morning everyone, it's time to go.

Tsar Hiddink

It's fantastic seeing Russia doing well on the international stage. They are the underdogs, the newcomers. They have a reason to fight harder than any other. So do we.

AHA! Creative Gathering

Offices, Bananas and Fallon

We also got to see Fallon's new offices on Great Titchfield Street which they moved to just this week. They're pretty impressive granted there are a few missing floor boards and many a builders bum about. Although we haven’t seen the other floors, the creatives have got it quite nice, very spacious and lots of new furnishings to get marker pens on.


Birds, Trees and TBWA
I guess it is lucky, perhaps we should hang out under trees waiting to get shat on more often?
A few weeks ago we got a call from LIZH telling us that when they sent our portfolio to TBWA and out of the lot 'Steve Henry has seen your book and wants to see you guys’. So we bobbed along to Charlotte St for a short meeting with the big man and got on brilliantly. He gave us some great advice and offered to get us in front of the team in charge of organizing placements. Yesterday, we finally got a chance to go in and see Julia Taylor, and it’s now confirmed. We’re scheduled to start September, happy as we are we have our fingers crossed to have our names on a contract by then. So for now, 18 days to Wieden+Kennedy.

Great Short & Sweet
Today, after a bit of work and a Bookcrit (we saw Stuart from Mother, Hi Stu) we went to Short&Sweet to refill our inspiration cells with films & animations. The selection of short films was great, one of the best so far. If you have a spare hour tomorrow evening , make sure to go to the Tuesday Soho Screening, starting at 19.oo in the AKA Bar. You won't regret it, it's free and there's fabulous stuff to see.
The movie we liked most was The Raftman's Razor by Keith Bearden. It's on YouTube, but seriously, don't watch it! Go to the screening, get a drink, sit down on a comfy couch and enjoy it on a big screen, with a great audience around you. It'll make a huge difference. But only in case you can't make it, have a look.
