Jolly Gym Boys

We couldn’t resist posting these adorable pictures of our senior interactive creative Jonathan Plackett on our blog.

Before he grew up and took a job in advertising, he was a child gymnast where he was so good he actually won quite a few medals.

Jonny spoke to me about his time as a child gymnast. “I kinda miss wearing lycra and being physically active! I can still walk on my hands though”

Happy Birthday Neily-Poo!!

It was a big day today. Neil Christie – global partner, illustrious leader, and resident grammar police – turned the big three oh.* He didn't want a fuss, so naturally we followed his wishes and didn't draw any attention to the Birthday boy.

Neil's Scottish, but we didn't think we could attract anyone onto the roof with the promise of haggis, so we pretended he was Spanish and had a paella and sangria lunch to celebrate.

British summertime and an effective afternoon of work be damned.

But we hadn't quite embarrassed Neil enough, so we presented him with this cake of almost unutterable awesomeness. That hair really reminds us of someone

Happy Birthday Mr Christie.
