Having long since entered the season of turkey and crackers here at 16 Hanbury Street, we're especially pleased to say that the fine folks at the World Retail Awards chose our Tesco Christmas 2012 campaign for their Retail Advertising Campaign of the Year, amongst some pretty stiff competition.

The World Retail Awards describe themselves as a "global platform that recognises and promotes retail excellence" – a rather nice early Christmas gift for Tesco and our team. Congratuations everyone!

Here's a refresher:

Hanne
from W+K and Nic from BBH are throwing a party. Not just any party – a joint party in the name of fundraising.
Through TIE, they
will both be working on projects for NGOs in Uganda and Brazil respectively.

Hanne
writes:

Fundraising
is important part of TIE and for the NGOs they partner with. It means that
initiatives you work on can become a reality, and plans can be put into action.
It’s also a brilliant way of involving everyone in the agency in what you’re
doing.

Nic
and I thought a night of music and entertainment was an excellent way of
uniting our causes, double our awareness-and fundraising efforts and also to
say a big thanks to everyone who has supported and helped us so far.

The party is ON this Friday at Corbet Place
– conveniently, directly opposite 16 Hanbury Street. A little bit further from
Soho, so kudos to everyone from BBH making the journey across town.

Not only will W+K and BBH’s finest DJs
flex their musical muscle, there will be a special DJ set by MØ (the ‘new
Grimes’ according to The Guardian).

Tickets are £10 per head, and 100% of that
goes to Hanne’s and Nic’s projects, The Kasiisi Project and Grupo Ruas e Pracas.

Double the agency, double the fun! 

Stay tuned for (carefully selected and possibly vetted) photos from the night.
