This week at The Escape

It’s the end of another week and in the spirit of sharing, here is what we have been up to.

We welcomed Louise into the Account Management team who shared her first impressions of us:

Well, here I am, having survived my first week at The Escape. Impressed by the database and processes – this is the first agency I have worked for in a while (maybe ever) where this is the case – congratulations guys. And love the new CMS – that is something really special with so much potential – and just to top it all, everyone seems to like a laugh and have made me feel very welcome – in short, wahey! – can’t wait to get really stuck in!!

LouiseLouise mentioned a new CMS system there – it’s all hush hush but nearly ready and…. it is bloody amazing. Watch this space.

Rob and Simon kicked some London competition into touch (go go Basingstoke) as we won a pitch for the front end design of a new search engine and research tool for MarketClusters.

As for some of the rest of us well let’s see… Debs kicked off a project for MPI for a new feeder site for their Marine Diplomas. We also started our Canadian project for Advanced Presentation Products website. Lisa is cracking into two new web projects for Two Guys Kitchens. Jo presented some initial concepts for an Annual report for the First Wessex Group, which were well received.

Last but not least there’s Rob, returned from Cyprus looking sun-kissed and…………heavy.

“It’s only 2 pounds” he told us but we know how these things start. We think he needs the support and motivation from (not just his colleagues) but everyone that knows him for the London to Paris cycle ride in aid of Action Medical Research: http://www.action.org.uk/~robj

As an added incentive whichever one of you sponsors the largest amount can have a signed photo of him in his Lycra – nice!

Sorry the blog has been light this week, we have a redesign happening and change of platform… watch this space.

    Peace and good will to all… well, that’s the general theory this time of year isn’t it? Unfortunately, no one passed this message to the ‘troops’ in the studio at Escape Towers this year. Downtown Basra eat your heart out. There we’re no car bombs (we just couldn’t do it to our lego creations) but [...]

  • New stuff: Honeywell F124 banner

    Its very early days, but we’ve started working with Honeywell. They’re based here in Basingstoke so our local-ness (pretty sure that’s not even a word!) is helpful when there’s a tight deadline to hit. This was the case with our first project for them, a pretty straightforward roller banner design for a show they were [...]
