A retrospective on week 1.

It feels like spring might have finally sprung. Suddenly there's blossom on the trees, daffodils in the parks and on a positively balmy Sunday afternoon I spotted the first (perhaps premature) short and flip-flop combo of the season. Either way, it's good news folks. Warmer days and lighter nights are just around the corner. After a winter hibernating indoors, we thought it was about time to dust off the running gear and hit the pavement. 

And so, brimming with the spring-like enthusiasm of new born lambs, the good ladies of W+K have decided to sign up to Nike's after dark 10k run, We Own the Night, which takes place in London on Saturday 10th May. For most of us, it's our first proper 10k, but we're assured by Nike+ that there's a program that will take us from zero to hero in 8 weeks. 

Last Wednesday night we kicked things off with an inaugural W+K Run Club. We had marathon runners, park joggers, beginners and everything in between.  We ran in packs through Aldgate, past the Tower of London, over the Thames and back, with Brick lane curry touts shouting words of encouragement as we came down the home stretch. It all felt quite epic for your average Wednesday evening. 

We're all set for round two tonight, our numbers are growing and there's even rumour of an official W+K RC logo. 

Thank you ladies. See you same time, same place, a little later on. 

If anyone fancies joining us for We Own the Night, you can sign up here.

Hello everyone. We've got another bunch of shiny newbies who have joined us over the last few weeks. I'm sure they're enjoying the spring weather as much as I am.

Our Studio continues to get bigger and better with their latest addition, Cindy Fogarty. She's recently relocated from Sydney where she spent the last four years involved in some really interesting creative projects at The Monkeys as a designer/artworker. 

Hello there Debbie Jones! She has become the new friendly face of reception, taking over from our lovely Jody who has transitioned into a studio role. Debbie used to work as a personal shopper at Topshop, where she helped celebrities roam around the store at night and get loads of freebies. I'm sure she's got a fair bit of juicy gossip.

Say a big hello to Sophia Tubby, who joins us today in Broadcast as a Production Assistant. Her background lies not only in Agency (previously at M&C Saatchi) but also in Production Company having worked at Not to Scale and Gorgeous. She's a welcome addition to team TV.

This is the lovely Monika Andexlinger who has joined Creative Services this week as a Project Manger on Arla. Monika has joined us from Mother, where she used to work with our amazing office manager Ronny. Having googled Monika (we don't do that often) we've found out that she previously starred in an ad for a well known high-end department store. Superstar.

Finally, Megan-Rose joins us in finance as an accounts payable assistant. She has recently finished an internship at Sony Pictures Entertainment in Poland. Fun fact; she plays the bass guitar. We're sure the finance team would love a tune or two.
