Fantastic news this week as we learned that we had successfully pitched to retain the Visit Wales business. There's a tale behind this review.

Back in May 2007, Campaign ran the story above. It prompted several people to send me messages of condolence at the time as they thought we'd lost the Visit Wales account.
We commented on this at the time on the blog. Then in October 2008, the review was halted.

Anyway, it started up again this year, it's finally complete and I'm delighted, relieved and excited to say we've won it. Bloody marvellous!

After a couple of years with our Finnish friends, I am starting a new life on Nike. This calls for a new and improved me on Nokia.

The lucky devil is an old friend of W+K London, Christian Wolfe.

He already has vast Nokia experience having worked on the brand in Shanghai and Delhi, and even more W+K experience having worked in Portland, New York and Tokyo too.

Amsterdam for the full house then.

Not only that, there's a whole load of 'hilarious' lupine-based puns just waiting to be made.

Welcome Christian!
