There had been banter and boasting between W+K runners Goss and Winek about who was fastest. It was time to find out once and for all. So we (unofficially) closed Wilkes Street outside the office to stage the first-ever Jack the Ripper Memorial 100m sprint. The result? Decisive victory for Goss.

Winek, above, finding his greatness.

Nice work, lads.

Our beloved agency basement takes many forms. Kitchen, co-working office, client hotdesking space, meeting room foyer, and yesterday afternoon, stage to singer-songwriter Alex Clare, whose incredible voice and guitar playing put its acoustics to the test (turns out they're excellent).

Opening with the headliner of his new album, Three Hearts, and ending on an impromptu encore, Alex lulled us all into a mellow state of mind – the perfect note on which to end a rainy Thursday.

Big organisational thanks to W+K Culture Club, who have swapped surprise ice cream vans for evocative melodies (accompanied by dark & stormies) now that's it's apparently not summer any more. We can't wait to see what they bring us next!
