Our very own Andy Cameron spoke at the D&AD President Simon Sankayara’s Pecha Kucha event at Logan’s Hall last night. We’re not going to share all 20 slides – you had to be there – but the first one is worth a peek.
The theme of Andy’s presentation was ‘It’s not technology, it’s what you do with it.’
The picture above was taken in 1983 in the Sudan, in a village called Muglad, on the borders of Darfur. The village didn’t have water or electricity, or brick houses, but it did have a professional photographer who took Andy’s picture, developed the negative, and made a print by sunlight – an extraordinary technological tour de force in difficult circumstances, and a perfect example of ‘it’s what you do with it.’
Andy would like you to notice how thin he used to be.

October was breast cancer awareness month and we wanted to do our bit.

So last Thursday we had a charity day to raise some money. We themed the day around the popular advertising-related drama series Mad Men.

The whole agency joined in the fun by wearing their finest Mad Men inspired attire.
Ladies wore their pencil skirts and the gentlemen came to work in their tailored suits.

Through out the day we raised money by putting on different games and activities where you could donate cash to play.We had a best dressed competition, a raffle, a sweet tuck shop where you could buy the very popular chocolate cigarettes and at 17:30 we had our very own Mad Men inspired bar serving Martinis and Bourbon in our library.

Not only did we have loads of fun, we managed to raise £600, which Neil has kindly said will be matched by W+K. Brilliant news!

To share a bit more of our day with you here are some photos….

Meet our Mad Men (and ladies).
