Skates on. Sticks at the ready. Mouth guards in – isobel are on ice for Christmas. 

This is the newest, baddest, most kick-ass ice hockey team to ever slide face first across the rink in the NHL. 

This year's card, shot and produced 100% in house, is all about embracing the spirit of 'work hard, play harder'.

Merry Christmas from all of us here on the team.

We joined the Marketing Academy last night to raise money for two incredible charities: Cyclists Fighting Cancer and The Marketing Academy Foundation - in a 90s themed quiz special. 

As well as taking part, we even featured as one of the quiz questions. 

So which answer did you go for? Want a hint? It’s not a, b or d.

The Massive Marketing Quiz

This week was our 10th annual summer school.

We recruited a litter of 15 and 16 year olds from 7 schools and gave them an Apprentice-style brief to make sport more attractive to their age group.

The class had talks from across the agency on planning, how to tackle a brief, social media and the history of advertising.

They even got to go to a sound studio and record some radio for real.

The week concluded with a head-to-head pitch, for which there were some pretty impressive judges in the room. Jo Sinclair, Head of Commercial at England Netball, Nicole Sapstead, CEO of UK Anti-Doping, Gurjit Deacon, Campaign Magazine, as well as our very own, Steve Hastings.
