Welcome to Optimism

L Gallery

Not many people think that our reception is a reception.  They think it’s where the till and stroppy assistants are, because most people walking past think we’re a shop.  A shop selling cheap tat, but a shop nonetheless.

We’ll, in an effort to add to the confusion, we have just started ‘L Gallery’.

The little cabinety area in front of Ronny & Holly (on reception) has been transformed.  It is now a space to show interesting projects from people in the agency.  Oh… it’s a little ‘L-shaped’ cabinety area.  Hence the name.  Do you see?

First up is ‘L Gallery X Kicks Featherstone’, Guy Featherstone’s trainer

collection (or ‘sneaker collection’ if you’re of a persuasion to say ‘sidewalk’ and ‘diaper’).

As well as the trainers, at the moment, we have socks hanging up everywhere.  Next month… veruccas.

Nic and Kevin in Shanghai:
Wednesday saw the summer party on the
roof at Wieden + Kennedy Shanghai. Brilliant time had by all – bbq, bar,
DJs, fantastic (and probably highly illegal) projections of cool W+K
logos onto opposite apartment buildings, Kel’s (Shanghai MD) birthday, a fashion show
of outfits designed and made by WK folk and a lot of drinking.

Everyone has looked after us
brilliantly – the office is so cool, and every WK-er made us feel
massively welcome, especially the amazing lovely and incredibly patient
Mehreen Ozdemir.

And here is Nic arm-wrestling the world’s shortest
woman for the prize of stealing her dog:
