This Is Martin Cole, who we are delighted to be able to say is joining us as Planning Director of Wieden + Kennedy London. He's currently one of the founding partners of Santo London and prior to that he was at WPP, Grey and BBH.
He has produced and presented TV shows for Channel 4 and been a successful recording artist for Virgin. He's an innovative thinker, a brilliant strategist, a good guy and, not insignificantly, he has more hair than the rest of the management team put together.
As well as working out his notice at Santo, he's about to become a dad, so he'll be with us in early December.

Our Fat Controller, Simon Summerscales left us recently to go off travelling with his family. You can follow their journey on the famille summerbelle blog. They're currently in Tokyo.

They're also getting the family business going. Famille Summerbelle creates desirable decorations and acessories for children's rooms.

Their website says:

Famille Summerbelle is Julie (designer and creative director) and
Simon (all the other stuff) and we are the proud parents of Ophelia.

What matters more is what we are trying to achieve. Our designs and
accessories are created to achieve a delicate balance in decorating a
child’s room: an inspiring and reassuring space for the child which
retains the creative, elegant warmth that we try to achieve throughout
our homes. A room for everyone.

They have some nice stuff on the site, so if you have kids it's worth checking it out.
