The renowned Mr Stuart Smith, formerly Planning Director of W+K London, has returned to the Wieden family after a couple of years at Google Creative Labs. He's now Planning Director at W+K New York. He popped over today for a catch-up. We thought he was probably missing proper British food after his time in the USA, so we took him round the corner from WK Towers to St John for some delicious blood cake and white faggots. Not the kind of thing you can ask for in New York without getting into all sorts of trouble. Yum.
