Circles of Gold

Last night's Creative Circle Ball had a nice metallic sheen to it, as two of our campaigns each took home a few awards each.

Honda The Other Side picked up three golds (for 'best use of new technology', 'best online film' and 'best interactive'), as well as the 'gold of golds' for top ad of 2014.

Lurpak Cook's Range won gold for 'direction' and 'editing' (big congratulations to Dougal Wilson at Blink and Joe Guest at Final Cut) and silver for best TV film. Not a bad haul, if we do say so ourselves.

Team Honda hits up Geneva

Last week Scott and Alex headed to the Geneva Motor Show to check out the latest and greatest cars the world has to offer. 

Drooling over the forthcoming Honda NSX was obviously top of the priority list. Scott tried to play it cool whilst struggling to work out how to get in.

Scott pulled it back and look much cooler than Alex posing next to the 2015 Honda McLaren.

The boys journeyed to the past to check out Senna’s F1 car.

And to the future, salivating at the emission-free, Hydrogen fuel cell FCV concept.

As well the cars, many manufacturers have other bits and pieces to keep the petrolheads entertained. This picture was taken around the time Scott unnerved our Honda client Martin whilst heading full-pelt into a computer-generated wall. Fortunately the real-world physics only went as far as a shake and a wobble.

All in all a great day – the team learned loads and left full of  excitement about what’s to come for Honda. We’d like to give a huge shout out to Martin and Jemma at Honda for inviting us along and looking after us on the day.
