This is Nick Owen who joined us today as the new account director on Three.

Luckily for us, Nick spells his name with a K and not a C, which helps avoid any confusion with the Nic Owen previously of this parish.

Nick comes from DDB where he worked across lots of their business including that 'cool beer when it's hot' promotion thing for Budweiser. He also did a bit of copywriting and design before coming over to the dark side of account management.

This week we have a new exhibition in the L Gallery courtesy of artist Michael Benjamins entitled ‘Metal Men’.  Here is what Michael says about the piece:

‘Inspired by the concept of Arvind Gupta who shares simple yet stunning plans for turning trash into seriously entertaining toys for kids, which they can build themselves while learning basic principles of science and design.

Adopting his concept of recycling goods to give them a new purpose or a second life, I used the wire from the corks of champagne bottles to share a message.

Shapes come to life and take form – giving a new message of its own.

Creativity + Imagination = Limitless

 Special thanks to all the team at the Viajante restaurant, the Town Hall Hotel and W+K team for making this possible’

As part of the evolving exhibition people from W+K have been invited to add to the piece with the remaining wires left in the display.  Lets see what we’re made of!
