Knot your average job

We're often praised for "doing the things that other marketing agencies can't", which we guess includes sourcing large pieces of rope and tying it in knots. Staffordshire knots to be precise.

As part of Staffordshire County Council's new corporate identity launch, we were asked to recreate a physical replica of the Staffordshire knot for a publicity shot or two.

We're still awaiting the final PR shots, but have our own pictures of Robin and Nick unpacking said rope to keep us amused in the meantime.

Candid CAMRA

Our very own Mr. Chappell recently spent a day of 'client liaison' at the opening of Bakewell's new Thornbridge Brewery, which happened to involve sampling a pint or two of their finest ales. A tough job, but someone had to do it.

Unbeknown to Ian (at the time at least), he was captured on camera by East Midlands Today, offering a connoisseurial look at one of Thornbridge's finest brews.

You can watch his 2.73 seconds of fame here on BBC's news website.

Of course, the rest of the office were mightily relieved that they weren't asked along to what was clearly a very exhausting day of local business networking.
