Most interesting physical thing in your office?
Whiskey Barrel from our beer client which also had their beer run through it. It makes David’s office smell heavenly.
What does #agencylife mean to you?
Long hours to make brilliant work for our clients.
We’re pretty hardcore into international soccer. In particular the English Premier League. I’m a HUGE Manchester City fan and I have an ongoing war with another one of our staff members who is a die-hard Liverpool fan. Hence the MCFC coffee mug with our morning donuts is a bit of stab at my staff.
“Marketing/Advertising is quintessential study of humanity.”
