In this current time of austerity, we decided (in a very grown up way) that we'd rather save our annual leave and pennies than jet off to Cannes for this year's Lions. So instead of sipping pink wine on the Carlton Terrace, I've just tucked into a chicken wrap made from leftovers, at my desk. Hmmm.
Of course in typical Murphy's Law fashion, it seems that the one year we didn't show up, we won something! A perfect little bronze Cyber Lion for our Honda Experiment work. We've never been more chuffed to place 3rd in our lives.
And we wouldn't have got there if it wasn't for the help of someone very special to us. Andy Cameron was our Interactive Creative Director on the work. He's the reason why we're working at W+K. An amazing guy, a mentor, a digital pioneer, a brilliant trouble-maker (for the right reasons) and someone who always had your back.
Andy unexpectedly passed away a couple of weeks ago and we, like so so many others, are devastated. Our hearts go out to his family.
RIP Andy.
