St Luke’s help Heineken to Unlock London

There are 7,382 pubs, 17,883 restaurants and 4 circus schools in the capital and most Londoners won’t set foot in the vast majority of them. With so many venues on offer it’s easy to understand why Londoners can be paralyzed by the choices on offer and end up sticking with what they know. In an effort to help make the most of the world’s most interesting city we have worked with Heineken to produce the A-Z of Unlocking London which will run as a Metro cover wrap.

The content helps Londoners discover hidden bars, get into preview film screenings and visit the hottest restaurants on the day they open. As well as listing out some of the most interesting and unique venues the wrap is full of interesting facts such as how you can use a satellite dish to find your way home. This engaging content is bought to life by the intricate illustrations of Toby Triumph.

If you miss out on picking up this handy pocket guide on Wednesday 17^th January then the content will be shared online over the coming months.

Christmas Jumper Day raises the big bucks

Watch out Christmas Day, you’re facing a threat who is rapidly stealing all your thunder. Christmas Jumper Day is gaining so much hype every year that its importance in the calendar could soon take over Christmas!  The nation has really gone nuts with Christmas jumpers – with the new rule being the-more-revolting-the-better.

Naturally we all got on board, and donned our favourite festive number while fundraising over £700 for Save the Children.

In the spirit of fundraising for a good cause, we got sweaty in our Christmas Jumpers and got festively plump from the annual bake sale.  

A Blind Cider tasting served a dual purpose of aiding and abetting the brownie gluttons whilst also ensuring all St Luker’s really can identify the Bittersweet taste of Strongbow and the sweet joy of Old Mout – luckily the results were mostly positive!

Lastly, our first Silent Auction was held where lots of (ahem) premium prizes were up for grabs… including having our lovely CEO Neil as your Tea slave, a week of gourmet lunch, an extra half day of holiday, and a personal agenda-setting-idea with the mystic Dan and Rose.  Sadly people also donated far too much to keep me silent for a day! Congratulations to Save the Children on another record breaking year! #Xmasjumperday

THE LITTLEWOODS TOUCH COMES TO YOUR HIGH STREET

The fairy lights are twinkling and the turkeys are looking nervous. Christmas is unmistakingly approaching. Every child in the country is busy scribbling away trying to create the ultimate Christmas list to ensure all their wishes come true on the most magical Thursday morning of the year.

Myleene has once again harnessed the power of The Littlewoods Touch and is using it to grant Christmas wishes for the whole family in her role as the genie. Our Aladdin themed campaign has stepped out of the TV and on to the high street as Littlewoods helps Christmas shoppers’ wishes come true.

The activity, which kicked off in Liverpool, invites families to rub the magic lamp and hopefully win some of their wishes. Those who are brave enough to take a ride on the magic carpet will also be able to see their adventure featured on key media placements across the city.

We're in the charts!

After over 33,000 downloads (and counting) of the Thimbles track by Beuys Toys from our Very ad, we have successfully made it into the Top 30 of the Official Indie Chart this week.

Thanks to everyone that's downloaded and shared the track, we're beyond delighted that it's been so popular!

If you haven't downloaded it yet, do so here and let's see if we can get this to climb up the chart!
