We have a tasteful selection of souvenir clocks on our reception wall, one for each office in the Wieden + Kennedy network. Except for Sao Paolo, which was missing.

Until now. Icaro Doria, ECD of our Sao Paulo office, brought us a Brazilian clock to complete the set. Nice.

The Blades 2011 – supported by Creative Review, designweek.co.uk, nma.co.uk and Marketing Week – invites strategic agencies to showcase their talents.
It is still the only awards scheme to be judged by clients, focusing solely on the creative execution of campaigns.  The judging panel has looked through hundreds of entries to extract the most memorable creative campaigns, appraising how brilliant ideas – without always being part of that ‘big idea’ can achieve brand buzz and brand vitality.
