Monday, April 12th, 2010The recent burst of Sky adverts can’t go without comment. Surely there will come a point when the ‘brainstorming’ meetings at Sky can produce a positioning and creative which is less common denominator than Sky’s usual fare. ‘Supertelly’ is the recent embarrassment. The billboards are terrible, the line is excruciating – Supertelly, come on! [...]
Games maestro
Monday, March 29th, 2010Folk were totally wowed by Ian Hetherington’s presentation at the How-Do AGM at City’s stadium last week. The man widely regarded as the region’s granddaddy of games was effectively sounding the death knell of traditional games companies (and the costs attached) because we’re all playing daft Facebook games, with graphics which are only slightly better [...]

Tina Malone; cultural icon
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009Liverpool takes steps to move on, and then Channel 4 recruit a Scouse micro celeb that fulfils a lot of the old stereotypes. It was never going to be Simon Rattle or Terence Davies, but Tina Malone? Come on!
Can one ‘bowling ball’ make a difference? Surely it’s like worrying about Rab C Nesbitt, string vests, [...]
Liverpool Biennial
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Time is running out to visit the Liverpool Biennial. The most interesting for me were the exhibitions away from the main galleries that transform unexpected buildings and venues across the city, be it a former DIY shop or the Pilkingtons factory.
A definite highlight was Turning the Place Over where the artist, Richard Wilson, has cut [...]
I Love Cakes & Glorious Loves Cakes
Friday, November 14th, 2008Yummmmmm. Yet more cake appreciation.
Lovely Sarah from I Love Cakes, popped by our studios, with this little box of treats! Gone within seconds, they got a big thumbs up from everyone in the office, including James, one of our clients. Poor old Scott, you missed out.

The event held at Urbis last month, attracted more than 3,200, with art sales totaling more than £100k.

He Did It! Obama As President.
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008It may have been a bit presumptuous, but I baked ‘cupcakes’ last night (for the guys in the office), in anticipation of Obama’s success at the poles. I woke up to find out he’d actually won. What a historic day!
Guy Richie, Sherlock Holmes and a little place called Manchester
Friday, October 31st, 2008From Baker Street to Little Lever Street.
Events have been rather exciting of late at Glorious HQ; what with the birth of Tommy’s little boy Fred, wins at The Roses and Gramias awards, and…a leaky roof. Life round these parts is never dull.
Some folks scoff at our subterranean abode, but as Oscar Wilde said, “We are [...]
