As if getting wet all weekend wasn't bad enough, we returned to mightysmall HQ to discover that our ceiling was soon to end up as our floor. Our upstairs neighbours, the kilt hire guys had a bit of a leak and it ended up on us. So a plumber was called and diagnosed the problem in a flash. Then just as quickly he was gone (without even coming down to mightysmall and looking at the ceiling). Impressive.

The thing was, the water kept on cascading and so we took the matter into our own hands and found the real leak...In an entirely different location to the one the plumber had apparently found. So now the guys upstairs have no water (we turned off their supply) and we have a room that looks like it did when we first moved in 11 months ago. No wonder people get annoyed with the attitude and aptitude of (some) British tradesmen.

Anyway we're seeing this as an opportunity to completely redecorate, using paint from our client Valtti's exciting new range (that we just happen to have named).

Now should the walls be in "Firework sky"? or perhaps "Hair of Venus"?

Have you seen the amazing documentary "Man on wire" yet? We went on a mightysmall outing to the Cameo cinema yesterday (along with our friend and fellow creative, Chris Muir). The documentary is about the highwire walker Philippe Petit whose lifelong dream it is to step out between the twin towers. It more than lived up to its 5 star reviews. The clever combination of real footage, re-enacted sequences and stills, is beautifully crafted (It felt as if it was all in black and white but we can't actually remember if it was). The story of this illegal adventure is as good as any thriller. And the cast of charismatic real life characters reveal their story with all the drama you would expect of the passionate French.

And the oscar goes to...

…. went down to Rushes to telecine the Fettes college film and it looks gorgeous (thank you God for making the sun shine in June). We presented to the Director of Marketing for the Finnish paint giant, Tikkurila. (She’s in charge of marketing for no less than 35 countries, so we bought some really nice biscuits). We worked on an ad campaign for Speyside for View Marketing in Inverness. We met Macdonald Orr Design who invited us to work alongside them on strategy and an ad campaign for a client they’ve just won. Oh yes, and we won a pitch against our good friends Newhaven for a piece of business we’re not allowed to talk about yet.

Then Adrian went on holiday.

When our client Scottish Natural Heritage told us they were planning a presence at music festivals to remind people to respect the environment, we saw it as a creative opportunity too good to miss.

So we designed toilet rolls with messages printed on each sheet, which will be handed out free at the events.

It’s probably the most appropriate use of an existing strapline ever. The strapline? “Know the code before you go.”
