Picture the scene.
He opens the door, walks in and the missus is standing there arms crossed with a face like thunder. Is it her birthday? Did he tread in something?! Has she seen Marilyn’s Massage Parlour on his credit card statement?! The answer to all of these of course is a resounding “no,” (unless your name is John Terry or Avram Grant) The reason he’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight is he’s forgotten the most romantic day of the year… Valentine’s Day.
Whilst the alpha-idiots try and re-assure themselves (year-on-year that) “she doesn’t want a present, she isn’t like that” or “it’s just a Hallmark holiday,” the fact of the matter remains, he’s in BIG trouble.
So this year, we felt it was about time that the saviour wasn’t at a slap-inducing bunch of weeds from the BP forecourt, but an uber-handy Valentine’s SOS package from Nando’s that is less ‘in the doghouse’ and more ‘give the dog a bone.’
All he has to do is head to one of the selected Nando’s, armed with the password from the blog and he’ll be given a free card, rose and other X-rated goodies that will put the smile firmly back on her face.
It’s as easy as 1,2,3 and he’ll end up looking as smooth as a cashmere codpiece.
Now is it a coincidence that Nick (with some help from Hamish) were behind this promotion and that Kate and Claire have been invited to a special “hot” night out on Sunday (Peri Peri sauce anyone)
The next thing the guys have to worry about is her birthday… (now come on Keri, help them out, give them the brief).
When you walk into the office and wonder where all these people came from, you realise that you’ve actually gone from a couple of people hanging out at Red Bull to a ‘proper’ Agency.
Our International duo, Lisa and Ravi, have returned to the PrettyGreen mothership from the uber cool and cold New York (thankfully for Lisa as she was starting to think she’d relocated to Manhattan… you are not Carrie Bradshaw!), and are still wide-eyed after involvement in the launch of Red Bull Stratos.
When you get a phone call from a Client to meet about a project, it’s not really a big deal. When you then meet the Client and they can’t talk because their sooo excited, you know you’re about to embark on something special.
We were reading through a media presentation yesterday and we stumbled across the wonderfully silly word (we’re being kind) VIRALOSITY. What does it mean, we hear you cry? Being clever marketing people we realised it meant the speed at which a viral video speeds across the internet to impregnate the lives of digital explorers – Or at least we think that is what it means.
As we crawl out of our imposed hibernation from the comfort of our family homes, we realize with harsh reality that watching re-runs of The Wizard of Oz and every episode of Come Dine with Me is not normal or acceptable behaviour. Fortunately not everyone spent their Christmas under a blanket as some people (namely Strings and Emma) have returned with sickeningly glorious tans. Humph! Christmas sun is a clever option and snow is just cold (yes Strings we know you like Dubai, but we didn’t go, so enough now).
