Apply Within July 21st, 2008

We’re after a senior account manager to work across our advertising, design and sometimes digital accounts. The candidate needs to display unflappable coolness when up against it, must be interested in collaboration rather then old school hierarchy, and have a faultless group hug action.

Where the Hell is Matt? July 14th, 2008

Have you lost faith in humanity? Perhaps you’ve just finished reading the Daily Mail and can’t believe what the world’s coming to? Or maybe you’ve just witnessed a cat being run over by an articulated lorry. Whatever. If you need a little cheering up, we’d recommend watching “Where the Hell is Matt”.

Of course, you might not want to think about the fact that whilst you’re sat in your office reading blogs, Matt’s being sponsored by some chewing gum manufacturer to travel all over the world. Apart from that, it’s brilliant.

Sounds of Summer July 8th, 2008

Been asked recently what’s been on our playlist at work/home. Apart from Fleet Foxes, Howlin Rain, Band of Horses, The Shortwave Set, The Whip, Dennis Wilson and lots of Nigerian Psychedelic Funk, we’ve picked up these classics from ebay for the summer.

 

Four Season - Genuine Imitation Life Gazette

 

Marcos Valle - Garra

 

And the ultimate Saturday morning album…
The Sandpipers - Come Saturday Morning  

Enjoy.

Congratulations… It’s a book! July 4th, 2008

The gestation period for a female human is 266 days, 38 weeks or 8 days short of 9 months. The production of our latest work for Silver Cross took considerably less time, but it was still filled with late nights, minor temper-tantrums and a few headaches.

A huge amount of time and effort went in from a lot of people here, so it’s nice that it’s been equally well received as the last Little Book of Silver Cross, Goo Goo Gaa Gaa (which we recently found being flogged on eBay by some Dutch chap for £10 a copy). A special mention should go to our client Jason, who had to endure a particularly stressful 72-hour ‘labour’ over in Poland, dealing with the printing.

 

As with the last book, it’s filled with Silver Cross’s prams, pushchairs, car seats, home accessories and those regal perambulators you might have seen J-Lo pushing around recently. This year we updated the content with a family guide to music festivals, recipes from innocent and The New Covent Garden Soup Co, sections on heuristic play and baby sign language, plus a nice spread about Grandparents’ Day. (It’s on 22nd September this year – make sure you send some love.)

 

There are probably too many people to mention individually, but if you helped out on the project – you know who you are – thank you.

 

 

The book’s available to order from the Silver Cross website, so if you have friends or family with a small bun in the oven, we’d recommend ordering a copy asap. Just please don’t flog it on eBay (or if you do you could at least have the decency to send us a few quid.)

 

 

Which came first: the chicken or the pencil? July 4th, 2008

Not the most profound of questions, really. In this case it’s definitely the chicken.

We posted a month or two ago about Anna “call me Anna” Siedlikowska’s excellent viral work for Nando’s. Anna’s been working with us full time for the last few months, but earlier in the year she entered the idea into the Student D&AD awards and picked up a mini pencil for her efforts.

Well done Anna. Now get back to work.
