A big W+K-shaped welcome to Philippa and Artur.

Congratulations to them on graduating as our most recent placement team (this is them on their first day here…)

…to becoming our latest new hires (this is them today after a few celebratory Finest* bubbles!)

In the short time they've been with us they've already made some great stuff. Here's to them making more of the best work of their lives.

If you want to throw your creative hat into the ring for a placement, contact [email protected] and [email protected] for a book crit. You, too, could soon be photographed awkwardly somewhere at W+K Towers.

We live at 16 Hanbury Street. Just down the road, at number 68, you'll find the home of D&AD – the education-led organisation for the creative and design community. Last month they knocked on our door asking for a cup of sugar. We invited them in, put the kettle on and decided to collaborate on promoting their services.

This appointment sees us responsible for repackaging what D&AD stands for, boosting their membership, increasing interest and entries into their next awards scheme and building the D&AD brand around the world.

We're excited to get under the skin of what the brand is all about and to help as many people as possible fall in love with the organization for all it gives to the creative community, beyond just the awards.

Tim Lindsey, Chief Exec of D&AD, is excited to work with us: "Their smart strategic advice and brilliant creative will help D&AD continue to provide better and better services to our community."

And we're looking forward to discovering more about the formula to winning those black pencils of theirs…
