This is what our offices look like from the top of the NatWest tower. It’s amazing what you can see from up there.

Every year we gather on the anniversary of the founding of wieden + kennedy (april 1st, but we slipped a bit this year due to the office move) for a day of craziness, running around, team activities, etc.

Founder’s Day 2005 took place yesterday and involved a treasure hunt ranging far and wide across east London. Intrepid W+K-ers racked up points for their team by eating jellied eels, climbing the Monument, getting tattooed and/or pierced, visiting the Royal London Hospital, playing the piano in the Blind Beggar, mucking out the donkeys at Hackney City Farm, test-driving second-hand cars, generally behaving in a childish and embarrassing manner and, in the process of all this, exploring and learning about the local area.

Inevitably all this culminated in the consumption of alcohol to an immoderate degree at a local hostelry, where each team’s efforts were evaluated and prizes awarded.
