We had a visit from Moray McLennan of M&C Saatchi today, in his capacity as IPA President. Despite my comments on this blog about the wisdom of associating the IPA with The Ivy, he was good enough to venture over to the east end for a coffee in the less salubrious environs of Dray Walk. He’s keen to reach out to a variety of agencies to discuss what the IPA can and should do for them, which can only be a good thing.

By the way, just look at the upgrade in the quality of photography above, courtesy of my new Nokia N95. (Yes, shameless plug because we are now down to the last three for lead creative agency worldwide on the Nokia pitch.)

Marcus Brown is currently running a thing called ‘the dead artist project’ . http://thedeadartist.blogspot.com/

Our former client and current friend Paul Colman had an accident while mountain climbing and they’re trying to raise many for Mountain Rescue by selling one of Marcus’s paintings. If you check the blog you can get a feel for what’s going on.
