Matt Simpson has joined our team as a creative community manager. He was previously the lead community manager at Face, where he worked on Google, Axe, Coca-Cola, Orange and many more. He'll mainly be working on social media stuff for Honda and Nestea to begin with.
"He's nice. You'll like him," they tell us.
W+K's Alex Holder's Mills & Boon-related project for International Women's day, as blogged about previously, made the bizarre/funny/weird section of today's Metro.
They say:
Ms Holder made the three tribute pictures in her home studio, with the help of her boyfriend, Mr Neil, and ‘a lot of fake tan’.
‘Sometimes we sit for hours staring at a sea shell,’ said Ms Holder. 'Other times he’ll hold me by the neck in front of the pyramids. But there’s nothing we like more than nearly kissing each other near some horses.’
Ms Holder, an advertising art director, painted the exotic backdrops herself and staged the photos with her creative partner, Oli.
So far, they have recreated covers from 1985 book Dark Obsession, plus Master Of Marshlands and A First Time For Everything – both from 1991. Mills & Boon romances have been setting pulses racing since 1908.
