Ermina is one of our planners. Her head is all abuzz with big thoughts as thinks great things as dreams up marvellous strategies and all that. So it's no surprise she's lost her phone. She has thus gone out and bought a temporary stand in; the cheapest PAYG she could lay her hands on. It is a Nokia. And whilst it may be cheap on PAYG it nevertheless carries the 'Nokia tune' in full polyphonic splendor.
The 'Nokia tune' is in fact a classical guitar piece called Grand Vals, and here is the full plucking thing on YouTube.Enjoy!

Paul and Vicky are with us on placement in the creative team. And thank heavens they are otherwise we would have missed out on the snowmen dopplegangers of Jamie and Ian (CDs) they created.
We thought it all tres drole. Jamie and Iain, bless them, tried to see the funny side.

Our very own Jamie Bell has been appointed to the D&AD jury for direct. You can read about it here.
Looks tricky doesn't he, and it's true he is indeed very hard to please, but he's a sweetie really.

Shaun Rogers. Multi-tasking studio guru or spaghetti western gunslinging hero? Could be either. Or both. He's grooming a tash for Movember. You know the score. Donate here. If he gets enough wonga in he might even start sporting chaps. Now that's something we'd like to see all year round!

We had a Christmas party and all got dressed up and had a jolly good time of it. You don't have to believe us - just look at the evidence!

It's not often that our FD features on the pages of this blog but having made the finals of the Real Business/CBI FDs’ Excellence Awards for FD of the year we thought he was worthy of a mention.
So raise a glass and wish him luck on May 13th when the winner is announced. Always good to have a sharp man looking after the accounts when the economy has a wobble!
To see who he's up against take a look at the Real Business site.

Matt Klippel and Steve Taylor are joining us as Technical Director and Head of Digital Planning, respectively. It was in the news over at Brand Republic here. We're thrilled, they're thrilled. It's going to be swell! As it says on the sleave notes for Sgt Pepper's "A splendid time is guaranteed for all."

Jamie Bell (no, not that one, the other one - the really cool, talented, award winning one) and Iain Hunter (equally cool, talented and award winning) are joining us here at CMW towers. They've bought a brand new dictionary and we've got all the coloured pencils sharpened ready for them. To say we are over the moon is a significant understatement - we're beside ourselves with excitement! They'll be taking charge of our creative department, as reported in Campaign, and we're certain this will mark the start of a wonderful new phase for CMW pushing our creative even further forward.

Is the marvellous Claire Wright. She's coming to join us and fetching 20 years of experience in the business with her. She's going to be a fab addition to the team. She's nearly as excited to be joining us as we are to have her. Hurrah, hurrah and thrice hurrah! They mentioned it in Brand Republic in their news bit - see here.
