Sad times: this will be my last post. That's right. Geography
being what it is, I am drawn back to Manchester. Just can’t
keep myself away from the mushy peas.

I've had a wonderful time here. I want to thank everyone here at
Wiedens for putting in the effort to give me a great start in planning. I’ve really seen the ins and
outs of how an agency works and how planning fits into the process of producing
adverts. I’ve been able to work on some amazing brands, even presenting my own
research to clients (one client presentation left to go!). It’s been great for
so many reasons, and I’m going to carry the lessons I’ve learnt here with me
for a long time.

A big thanks to Jen Lewis for organizing
the placement and getting me involved in a huge amount of awesome stuff. Also to Theo,
Georgia, Paulo, Tom, and all the rest for letting me muck in here and there. You've all been great.

This is me signing off. Keep your eyes
peeled for the next planning intern, likely to contribute their own particular flavor
of madness to the blog. Cheers!

Tissues at the ready…

It's lovely Leanne's last day (for a while) as she prepares to take on the wild world of motherhood.

To celebrate this joyous occasion we threw her a high tea baby shower at the English Restaurant, just down the road from the office.

We stuffed our faces with finger sandwiches, cakes and scones, whilst debating the serious issue of what goes first, the cream or the jam?

We sent her on her way laden down with gifts and not quite baby related balloons.

We'll miss you Leanne. But don't worry HR is in safe hands with me…ahem.

See you soon yummy mummy x
