Welcome to Optimism

Gavin Debeer is W+K’s inaugural ‘Dude of the month’

Dude of the month

At this afternoon's agency meeting we announced a brand new award scheme – just what the world needs. Except this one is really worthwhile. It's the W+K Dude of The Month award, for services above and beyond the call and it comes with a lovely jacket that belongs to the winner for the entire month. The jacket is subtly embroidered with a 'Dude of the month' crest, a latin motto…

…and special unisex 'He gets it / she gets it' lining.

It's not just a technicolour dreamcoat, it's a wearable work of art. The Dude gets an extra day off work and they can get a further extra day off work if they wear the jacket all month. Inaugural winner of this great honour, in a kind of 'lifetime achievement' sense, was white-socked IT legend Gav Debeer. The announcement was greeted by a rousing ovation for Gav, without whom the agency would have fallen to bits long ago. Dude, we salute you!
