Everyday Cog

We spent the evening listening to christmas songs, eating home made mince pies, drinking mulled wine and putting up decorations in the studio.

Michael went to The Marlowe Theatre to watch their Sleeping Beauty panto, Here’s (some of) the Marlowe team, Ben Travis, Amy Smith, Sarah Munday, John Baker and Mia Power, having had post panto drinks.

Michael has brought in Advent Tea, we’ve been trying different flavours each day, today we’re having Candy Cane flavoured tea.

The Charles Dickens Museum press folder has been delivered by our printers, just in time for the press launch of the newly refurbished museum. To read some of the great press click here.

Kim, from the ISM, is visiting the studio today. She’s running through the ISM’s quarterly Music Journal with Mike.

Following non-stop christmas music in the studio since the beginning of December, today, even the milk has turned festive.

Ross, Michael & Ocky were at Jason Bruges’s talk at RIBA last night. Great to see The Modulator exhibition (featuring our branding) looking so good.

Ocky’s been back to the Charles Dickens Museum to meet with Florian and Sophie, and discuss the upcoming launch campaign to promote the museum’s reopening this month.

We’ve had a delivery of 8 new ergonomic chairs, here’s Nicola putting one together, looking forward to the end result.

Our friend, Geordie Dave, has come to the studio bearing gifts, in the form of this fantastic christmas poster.

We’ve received this great christmas card from team at Marc & Anna, it came accompanied by a ‘to do’ list, the only thing not crossed off was ‘design a Christmas card’.

The team enjoyed our December Cog night this evening. We gathered for secret santa presents, a stroll through Southbank’s Christmas market, followed by a great meal at The Founders Arms. Read Jonathan’s review of the evening here.

It’s the morning after the night before. We’ve received a stress ball as a free gift from a supplier. Michael is using it as a comedy nose.

A very sheepish delivery driver, dropped of this sodden box. It used to contain bottles of cider, now it is infused with its appley aroma.

Jonathan is taking advantage of a window of downtime, to rehang our gallery of past glories.
