The Creative Review annual 2011 is just out, with their selection of the best work in advertising and design of the last 12 months. Some of our work was featured and they named us their agency of the year. Which is very nice. They said, 'Our winner this year has really delivered in all aspects of modern advertising'.
Last week, Laura, Emma and I (Hollie) set out for a Honda shoot with our intrepid client Sara.
First stop Devon: and an absurdly chilly fishing boat somewhere in the middle of the English Channel.
Things to note from the first leg of our road trip…
1. On a shoot as cold and windy as this, fashion goes out the window.
2. W+K ladies can create a professional, office-like environment anywhere.
3. Next time I write the words “we open on a fishing boat in the dead of night,” I shall consider the implications.
If you peer closely, you might just be able to make me out in the corner of the cockpit, whimpering, while trying to warm my hands on a dead sea bass.
To Oxfordshire next, and a farm breeding everyone’s favourite British livestock: alpacas.
Things to note from the second leg of our trip…
1. If you potter into a herd of alpacas, they’ll spit bright green regurgitated crud at you. As I discovered to my detriment.
2. Put Emma near an alpaca, and she’ll act as a sort of ‘alpaca aphrodisiac’, inciting scenes that would make my grandmother blush.
3. If you set up a camera rig three inches off the ground on a fast-moving vehicle, you should probably take molehills into account.
The campaign should be landing in your telebox in about 6 weeks.
