Welcome to Optimism

Watch this weekend: Catch Me Daddy

We've been fortunate to work with some incredible directors over the years, and we always love seeing what they create outside of adland. 

Take Daniel Wolfe, the super talented director of the interactive film we made for Honda, The Other Side. He's been getting a lot of buzz for his debut feature film Catch Me Daddy, a suspenseful thriller about a girl on the run from her family. It was a massive hit at the Cannes Film Festival last summer and has critics fired up about new British talent. It's even managed to reach a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a pretty amazing feat in itself. 

Catch Me Daddy is out in cinemas across the UK today, so you can finally see it for yourselves. In the meantime, read an interview with Daniel on Film4's site and check out the trailer:

  

New starters for February

We've got three new faces joining the W+K London family this month. Here's a little introduction.

Holly Baker-Cliff

This is the lovely Holly Baker-Cliff. She has joined us as an AE on Finish and UKTV. Holly was previously working with the Nike Foundation in London before moving to the more exotic climate of Rwanda, where she became involved in amazing work with the local community.

She also revealed a little secret at our agency meeting; she auditioned for S Club Juniors. We're looking forward to hearing that next time the karaoke machine gets rolled out.

George Lisanti

George Lisanti is a fresh face in the finance department, stepping into an accounts payable role.  He joins us from a WPP shared services finance department. George is a massive football fan. We hope to get him on our agency football team shortly!

Sanket Avlani

Finally, we welcome Sanket Avlani as a permanent member of the design department. He freelanced with us for a couple of weeks at the end of last year – doing great work on Nike and crafting the Book Of The Year's cover to within an inch of it's life.

Sanket joins us after moving to London from Mumbai where he was working as a Designer/Art Director, was the winner of Cannes Young Lions Design in 2012 for his logo for an NGO ‘Laadii’ and created album artwork for the guitarist of one of the biggest metal bands in India.
