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 [...]

Back in July I posted about our involvement with Breast Cancer Care and our charitable creative donation to help them out with the look and feel for their annual fundraiser… The Fashion Show. Time fly’s when you’re having fun and although (at the time) October seemed a million miles away, it soon came around, culminating [...]

Last Tuesday we did what we probably don’t do often enough. We downed our collective tools, put our ‘out-of-offices’ on, switched off the company mobiles (OK we didn’t do the latter but you get the jist) and took ourselves off to our glorious capital for a day of fun, laughter and a few bevvies. Every [...]

If you’ve ever called your web agency regarding a problem with your web site and been told “it works on our machine” you’ll know how frustrating it can be. At the Escape we understand your pain and we never want to be *that* company so starting today we’re giving away “Our machine” FREE with every [...]

Those of you that know us well will know that its not always a case of work, work, work. So this post is a refreshing change as it’s completely non-work related other than the fact that the subject lives with us here at Escape Towers. Last week (while Rob was… ahem… ‘working in Thailand’) we [...]

After 2 years, 6 months and 3 weeks local Basingstoke hero, Dave Holby has completed his mammoth challenge to row around the equator (40,075km) on a land rowing machine.  Supported by hundreds of well-wishers, Dave’s final rowing moments were celebrated when the countdown was started by Basingstoke Mayor Cllr. Keith Chapman.  Dave has raised over [...]

Well it’s that time of year again. It’s getting colder, shops are packed and there is the inevitable office party, which is where we are all off to this afternoon.  The offices will be closed from 3pm today, so we’ll see you all at 9am on Monday. Merry Christmas

The Escapees will be starting their Christmas holidays at Noon on the 24th December 2010.  We will be returning to the offices for business as usual at 9am on the 4th January 2011. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that 2011 brings you health, wealth and happiness.

The question really is… what will you do for a packet of shortbread fingers? This week at The Escape has been challenging, but not for the usual workload reasons (although as ever, there’s plenty to do). No, this week has thrown us a new challenge and with it, an irritant. Although our health and safety [...]

Those who use Twitter on a regular basis cannot help but build up a band of followers as time goes by. That should come as no surprise – after all, that’s basically how Twitter works. By simply letting people know “What are you doing now?” (or more recently, “What’s happening”), your personal subscriber list will [...]
