Here’s a film we’ve done for ChildLine to celebrate their 20th Birthday. I’ve never been a fan of spoof’s but it seemed to work for this. Even if you hate it, I’d be grateful if you could spread the word – it’s for charity after all.

Scott from my office is very good at his PR job, but in spite of this his blog is great. 

Just been uploading pictures from our holiday at the end of last month- it seems like an eternity ago now.  We had ten days staying with my Mum and Dad in St Ives – basically drinking, eating and sleeping. Is there anything better than a deckchair by a warm sunny beach?……. … with tea from…

Back at work, after 10 days off. Slightly dazed and traumatised with over 500 emails to trawl through and a pitch tomorrow. While I try and remember what it is I do,  I’ll draw your attention this post from Planning Blog. Apparently tea is better for you than water. Regular readers will remember my love…
