Hi All
Its Xmas time. The time we spend trying to fix our relationships and drink beeeeeeer after a year of working so hard. To do this we need time off so from 1pm on the 24th December to 9am 4th January the office will be closed so we can recoup and be ready for an energised 2010. Have a good one all.
We Love…
Growing up as a wee nipper snapper, my sister (who is 18 months younger than myself) was always playing with girly toys… like my little pony, the sylvanians family, polly pocket and god knows what else!!! As hard as she tried to rope me in to her girlish game, I refused profusely and continued to run over her barbie dolls with my remote controlled cars and try and cut off their limbs with my plastic toolkit…
So, when I stumbled across these little beauties on the internet I had to laugh!!! I had never really asked myself what would happen if girls toys turned ‘manly’… but I recon I’ve found the answer below! So check out an alien, a wookie, the joker, megatron, Mr T and Darth Vadar all as my little ponies! As scary as these are, there’s definitely something quite cool (but wrong) about these characters… but you can decide for yourself!
Girls Toys Turned Manly...
It’s RANT Time!!!! Well It has been a while since my last…
My Dad drove SAAB’s, I drive a SAAB and god damn-it my Son will drive one too. I am that sure that SAAB can be saved. Help prove me right.
I am not sure why I picked up this strange allegience to a car brand. My Dad and me are very very different – be it outlook on life, automotive priorities, even risk assessment. And SAABs: they are not the prettiest. They are not the safest (any more). Or the fastest, most balanced or roomiest… but there is definately something about them that sets them apart. I love big Citroens for the same reason. They just make their own rules and they sort of make you feel good inside. And for that reason I love them (and Citroens and also many other quirky car companies come to think of it) and I guess that is why the creative industries (And for some strange reason, Dentists) bought into the brand. SAAB has always been design brand. A bit quirky , a little bit out there. I ask you all a favour if you care about great brands with value and true heritage (and for the people who work for them)
Its time for the design industry and its associated colleagues to SAVE SAAB.

Many thanks, have a great XMAS and help give the SAAB factory one too.

Well it’s that time of the year again. Time for the Xmas party – to celebrate another successful year at We Love… great work, new clients and new staff.
Each year a different member of staff has to organise an extravaganza. This year it was my turn. The pressure was on the Hoskinator (I really hate that name)… We can do what ever we want as long as it comes under budget (Mark’s Law) And this year after the serious stress of planning, organising and maths we all met up at the office at 5.15am and headed off to Monte Carlo for the day in search of some Winter Sun and to mingle with the seriously wealthy.
A day full of ice skating, ferris wheels, Christmas markets, Casino, £15 beers, good food, big boats and fast cars… (BUT NO HELICOPTER TRANSFER ‘COS I SCREWED UP) and lots of women draped lazily across the bow of the boats… (OK the last bit was a lie).
What a day!!! Considering the early start and late return… So whoever gets the job of organising the Xmas next year… Beat that!!
So it’s that time of the year again! We thought rather than just create another pointless Christmas campaign, we would give something back to those who need it most… while trying our damnedest to make James ill.
What’s this all about?
Its simple. Get James to eat 500 mince pies in just 12 days and we will donate £500 to the Make a Wish Foundation.
Why James you ask?
Well, everyone else in the office loves mince pies, so we thought it would be best to put somebody who really HATES mince pies in the hot seat!
Support the cause, feed James a pie, and make a donation via the site, and together we can make James dread Christmas forever more.
How do you get involved?
To feed James pie, simply visit the site and sign up to the cause… I promise it will take just a few minutes of your time… and you get to see the video of him eating YOUR pie.
Lets be honest… our donation is a given… but if you want to be more involved then we have also supplied a link to our page on JustGiving.com where you can happily give what pennies you can afford to spare.

So, we woke this morning to a pretty hefty covering of snow! Now, this might not be overly exciting for most of you, but rememeber I’m Australian, and to be honest… this kind of thing just doesn’t happen back home!
As my bus was cancelled I had to walk to work, so I thought I would take the opportunity to grab a few photos along the way.
Hi all… we just wanted to let you all know… Dripping in Fat is not only running a 3 for 2 offer for Xmas (Yes they can still deliver in time…) but now, due to some rather valuable feedback, we have reduced our postage costs for multiple tee orders. So now you will have the extra pounds left in your pocket to get that extra beer in… see we really do care!!
Yep, we are looking for another hero to join the We Love family. This time though it is a Project Manager we are hunting high and low for…
So if you are looking for an engaging position in an up and coming agency that is starting make waves in the industry then now is the right to join our tight team of super heroes. There are interesting times ahead…
Who are you? Well Agency experience is a must. You have dealt with large and small clients alike and understand the variables in each. You keep your head at all times, can manage a client and staff, keep projects on track and on budget. Run multiple projects at a time. Help create and define scopes and budgets. Reporting both ways with authority. You can PM agile or waterfall depending on need. Provide sanity in an insane world, make people smile and give a damn about your co-workers and the creative output that make up We Love. You are the glue. A lot to ask we know… but we find our own high expectations make for a happy creative life for all 
As always… Excellent package for the right person.
If you are THE PM then apply to work@welove72.com
I know Mark is going to give me a hard time for this post as he thinks I’m just a simple Australian surfer, haha, but I think it is worth watching, even if you don’t surf, as the cinematography and the message behind the movie is really top quality…
We’re proud to announce the launch the next phase of English from England’s Learning Zone. A new marketing strategy meant that English from England needed to re-design their language based learning product, with a focus on usability, interaction and progressive learning.
Product sales have already increased after the new product launched at this years London Language Show 2009. The enhanced logic and structure behind the games has meant that young children are able to respond and react to the product in a much more engaging and productive way.
With such a great pre-Christmas start we’re looking forward to the New Year and the next stage of English from England’s global strategy.
