Rob's marrow

W+K operations director Rob Steiner's marrow is unusually large. (Fnaar, fnaar.)
Planted by his kids, it won the Deddington first prize in 'biggest marrow competition'.

Badge-off

Today saw the eagerly awaited announcement of the results of the inaugural Wieden + Kennedy London Monthly Badge-off. We recently acquired a badge-making machine and decided to have a monthly competition to design badges. Winners will be made up in a limited edition available in a big jar on reception. The theme for the first badge-off was 'move'. ECD Kim (above) judged the entrants.
