Good news and bad news in the last 48 hours. We picked up The Observer business without a pitch. Hurrah!…

But we also learned that we lost out to BMB on the Ikea pitch. Bummer.

(We’re wondering if our failure to convert was down to the wolf’s head minge-thing concept we presented.)

Hey ho. Congrats to Trev and the boys at BMB. Let’s hope they do something amazing with it. IKEA is a brand that deserves it.

Millidge and Doig, the two little characters we created for Orange’s tactical activity in Romania, seem to be developing a fanbase. Here are a couple of new short ads we’ve just created featuring the two little guys with one mouth between them. Funny?
