Altogether now... 'Yeees Mash'.

MORE GOING ONS AT ST LUKE'S

At St Luke's, we're lucky enough to be given an allowance to do a course of our choosing. It can be absolutely anything as long as it isn't related to work (secretly we love this stipulation).

Last week, Rebecca our planner started a floristry course and we thought you may be interested to see her fabulous works of art. Miles, her teacher, says she has a natural flair for it you know.


Elsewhere in the agency, our account manager Jo has been beavering away on an art commission for a large chain of national restaurants. The paintings went up last week:



Very well done chaps!

Carl Sagan

I stumbled this video a week or two again and it prompted me to find out more about its strange and passionate presenter.

In 1980 Nasa Scientist Sagan made a 13 hour TV series documenting the history of the Cosmos and man's fascination with it. He did so in the shadow of cold-war nuclear annihalation and to remind us we are the product of 450 billion years of evolution and our energies would be best spent on exploring our universe rather than on destroying ourselves.

I've watched 10 hours of Cosmos so far and wish there was more.

PEGGY TAKE A BOW

What better way to reward the nations favourite landlady than with a nod of recognition from Strongbow. For all her hard working graft behind the bar at The Queen Vic and pulling through in countless family trials and tribulations, we think she has definitely earned her bowtime! We will all be tuned in tonight for her final departure...

Mad Men! (& Ladies!)

From time time to time I stick up articles of an interesting, quirky or just downright cool nature in the kitchen.
I will from now on get with the modern world and blog about them!

If you don't already watch Mad Men I do suggest that you snag yourself season 1 and start from the very beginning you will not be disappointed! If you missed the artcle in The Times about Jerry Della Femina and original Mad Man and advisor to the show, never fear I still have the hardcopy! It's a fabulous interview and you can tell that Mr Femina has relished every moment his adventures in adland! I have my edirol recorder In my desk draw if you want to regale me with tales from the past please don't hesitate to pop round to my desk! :)

Cool Hunting In Bloomsbury!

I am so glad that I spotted an article in The Evening Standard a little while ago which spoke on the emerging ‘New Bloomsbury Set”. The trend it seems is of a creative not literary nature with a rather fabulous network of stores of a quirky, cool and even worthy nature. Take the “Peoples Supermarket” a lovely community idea by which locals pay a membership fee and then sign up to stack shelves for 4 hours a week in return for price reduction on goods they purchase.

On a quirky note there is Cosmo China who specialize in hand painted china that isn’t in any shape or form chi-chi! Concept store Darkroom who sell African influenced accessories and make hats for the likes of Hussein Chalayan. Bea’s of Bloomsbury is a fabulous patisserie described as “like your hip great-aunt’s favourite tearoom”. Couple this with open-air film screenings where locals bring out their sofas and you can see why this is a cool hunters paradise! All in all there is an amazing array of independent book and fashion stores as well as essential services such as pharmacy, florist, funeral home which makes this snug corner a real community and not just a stomping ground for trendies & hipsters! I think I’m right in thinking that St Luke’s communications fits right into this New Bloomsbury Set ethos of independence, community and coolness!

I fancy doing a little bit of shopping who’s with me?!

Charlotte Church & Josie BB11 Winner love their Strongbow!

Charlotte Church was seen with a can or three of Strongbow at the Green Man Festival in Crickhowel, Wales in August!

Big Brother 11 winner Josie, whilst posing for an OK magazine photo shoot, said she would much prefer a Strongbow than the champagne that she had been presented with.

Enjoy your Bow Time ladies!!

STRONGBOW BANKERS

In our follow up to last year's Final Push campaign for Strongbow, bankers are again given their marching orders by Britain's hardworking grafters.

Even better, the ad will air at cinemas alongside the new release of Wall Street. Satisfaction indeed.
