It might be rather gloomy in the skies of Covent Garden but inside our devilfish offices the sun is shining – we have a new campaign being finished up for a huge US broadcaster and another pitch came in this morning – busy days are happy days. This is all somewhat in contrast to how the devilfish footie team felt at 10pm on Thursday when they were rudely defeated, but for effort alone they should have won out.
It’s gearing up to be a busy June and July, with lots of questions beginning with the phrase ‘you’re not going on holiday in the near future are you?’ Following the ashcloud shocker which prevented us from making it to Lisbon for PROMAX Europe (and much worse, prevented Richard from presenting his speech on ‘Ten Great photographs :an inspirational guide to the power of the single image’, Kjetil, Matt and Lucy are putting on their shades and heading out to La La land for PROMAX’s West Coast event in a few weeks’ time. No doubt their drinks party will be the happy, bubbling affair people have come to expect from devilfishers, with the LA sunshine to soothe their heads come the Thursday.
Watch this space too for news on our breakfast briefing event with Contagious magazine in July. We’ve got some awesome speakers – Gav Thompson from giffgaff whose launch campaign goes live this week; Jon Mitchell from Spotify who are taking on the old models of the music business, and Louise Roper of Method, the coolest most interesting cleaning brand known to man. All these guys – and our own from Devilfish and from Contagious magazine – come together under the headline of ‘Punching above your weight: the value of a twinkle-toed approach.’ More details to follow… see you there or in LA!
