Thursday felt like the hottest day of the year so far in London – oppressively sweltering. Perfect timing for us to have our summer party in the basement. We originally planned it as a ‘housewarming’ for the new offices but by the time we got round to having it we had a few other things to celebrate: IPA Agency of the Year, a string of new biz wins (Pizza Hut, Sky One, EA Games, Yakult) and a raft of awards including, in the last couple of weeks, Grand Prix at Cannes and Grand Prix at the Midsummer Awards.

We had a big turn out, with somewhere over 200 people turning up to check out our new home and get sweaty. We had former W+K-er James Guy on the decks and guests were a mix of clients, contacts, friends, neighbours and gatecrashers. The party must have been a success because we got through 600 beers by 9.00pm, completely ran out of booze twice and ultimately had the council round threatening us with a court order if we didn’t turn the music off. (Not that we were being too anti-social, this was at about 11.00pm.)

Such a good night we seem to have forgotten to take any photos.
