    When you spend a lot of time working on each people’s branding and communications it’s easy to forget your own. We’ve spent a lot of time this year focussing on how we work and what our proposition is. This animation we did for our own marketing pretty much says it all.

    The events in Japan over the last few days have made for shocking viewing, the sheer scale of the tragedy and volume of lives lost is almost impossible to comprehend.

  • Cirque Soleil; a ray of hope in an austere world

    Posted on January 30, 2011 by

    At the Albert Hall this week I was privileged to witness Cirque Soleil’s amazing touring production of Totem Hall. http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/totem/default.aspx It is a masterful combination of the very best circus performers in the world, incredible set design and more AV tech than the latest Kylie concert and I’ve chosen that analogy carefully because make no [...]

  • Two Tier Internet?

    Posted on January 4, 2011 by

    I saw this article today on The Telegraph’s website (thanks to @tweetminster on Twitter) and it makes interesting reading. It certainly bears out the fact that video is becoming the key currency online. But this latest move by BT Broadband has unsurprisingly divided opinion.
