We're keeping those pesky January blues at bay by taking on some sparkling newbies.

A big welcome to Alex Allcott. She's joined us from our fabulous Amsterdam office to become an Account Manager on Cravendale and FUZE Tea. We've welcomed her into the London family with open arms.

Genevieve Sheppard joins us as the latest addition to the Broadcast Department. We whisked her way from BBH where she had been for the last 3 years and before that she spent 5 years working in the documentary film industry both in London and New York. 

Dee is our final new recruit for this week. She has joined us as the Tesco team PA, following a little temping stint. Dee has revealed that when she worked at CH4 she enjoyed a romantic liaison (or two) with the comedy talent. She won't name names, but mark my word I'll get it out of her. To be continued…

Before they made the leap across to adland and joined us as a creative team a couple of months ago, Will Studd and Ed Patterson were already pretty well acquainted with our industry. As directing duo Sumo Science, they bring stories to life one frame at a time in stop frame animation, including a few ads cooked up under our own roof (the record-breakingly tiny and huge Nokia 'Dot' and 'Gulp' films). 

They recently wrote and directed a couple of films about recycling for Sesame Street with Blink Industries, which we think are rather charming. Watch them below and meet Recyclebot, and then get to sorting your plastics from your metals, stat.
