Nice to see the Change Your Bank campaign gain some traction, with appearances on Osocio here and The Guardian here.

The month also sees more copywriting for Identica, with an interesting mix of B2B and B2C comms for a pan-European travel client. It's not easy pleasing the French, Spanish, Portuguese as well as the English, but we achieve it with aplomb.

With a few weeks in the winter sun quickly becoming a distant memory, January doesn't hang around before kicking into life. Working within Identica, the positioning work for a clothing retailer comes to fruition with a two-word strapline bringing a big campaign thought to life. There's also an exciting government pitch to get stuck into, with multiple briefs needing individual solutions as well as a containing thought across the work.

An honourable mention for Richard Wiseman's latest book, 59 seconds. It's comfortably the best holiday read and is incredibly intuitive and counter-intuitive in near-equal measures, with the added bonus of being very relevant for the marketing mind.

Another interesting mix of briefs from Identica this month, including positioning and copywriting for a pan-European travel client, in-store copy for a large clothing retailer and new brand name concepts for a large digital publisher.

Plus, just enough time to put together our seasonal ecard. Click here to view.

The month starts with a branding design brief for Change Your Bank, a campaign to stop banks going back to their old ways with the threat that if they don't change, we'll change our bank. See the branding here and take part in the campaign here.

More work from the fine upstanding people of Identica. The seemingly impossible brief of writing in English for a French-inspired brand in the Russian market being cracked not once, but three times over. Да Пожалуйста, as they say in Red Square.

The very definition of an integrated campaign, as I help The Good Agency put together a wide and varied Nordoff Robbins relaunch - long copy and design for their annual report and brochure, web design, banners, inserts, stationery and design guidelines. It's taken through from strategy to supply, via copy, design and artwork, with all delivered on time and budget for their big day - see the wesite here.

I also get the opportunity to help Identica out as they look at strategy and positioning for a major leisure fashion retailer.

There's also more work on a major environmental project, with branding, strategy and design all coming together, as well as a branding project for an upcoming financial campaign. More details soon.

They say you shouldn't pitch in holiday season, but with news coming in that I'm two from two this summer, that myth is put to bed. Following up the success at ILN, I'm delighted to have produced the work that won The Good Agency another good cause client. The high-end direct mail will help raise £12m for charity and also gives the agency over 5,000 potential new clients. Good times.

With summer putting in a last burst, it is of course time to be working on Christmas mailers. Christian Aid's December appeal is a poignant affair and I'm glad to have done my bit on the copy side.

A bit of diversification this month, with the launch of the Logical Creative shop. There's a whole heap of t-shirts and accessories to be found, all designed by yours truly. Some of the styles are shown below, but find the whole range here.

A time to reflect on results, rather than just the work. Keep Britain Working, the identity and website created for Reed Recruitment, has risen over 2 million in the UK traffic rankings already. See the site here.

HMS Belfast has seen a sixfold increase in search traffic, thanks in part to the Launch! Shipbuilding Exhibition leaflet work and PR.

There may be a credit crunch, but there's no excuse for a creative crunch.

HMS Belfast's frst big exhibition of the year is launched thanks to a leaflet with a difference. It comes with instructions on how to fold it into your very own ship - giving you a handy 20% discount to The Shipbuilding Exhibition. Proof that even a humble leaflet can have a big idea - see the work here.

A year of award recognition, new business sucess and effective work. All the elements needed to help brands through difficult times.

Season's Greetings.

A well-earned breather with a holiday in Australia for a few weeks.

The return to the office brings more work for the newly revamped Reed Specialist Recruitment, with a topical challenge to the British economy. With things cooling faster than the weather, our work's going to be cut out making it a success.

Great response rates from our first work for first:utility - the electricity supplier that actually allows you to see exactly when you're using your power and how much it's costing you. Our bold email campaign achieved open rates of around 40% - twice the projected figure. See the message here.

With the credit crunch now the only news, how appropriate that a poster that was produced over six months ago for Totally Fitness should appear on Channel 4 News this week. See the original in-store work here and the news coverage here.

The first of our Sort It Portsmouth work breaks, with the aim of improving health in the Pompey area. Tying in with the Blood Pressure Association's 'Know Your Numbers' campaign we feature Peter Crouch, Glen Johnson and John Utaka across 48 sheets, 6 sheets and community posters with a radio campaign completing the mix. In just five days, over 1600 people had their blood pressure checked at key locations around the City.

See the posters here and listen to the radio here.

Our new Check in - Check out brand launches the partnership between Radisson SAS and Meet England. The campaign runs across direct mail, emails. online banners and a microsite. After just three weeks' activity, 15% of the total event organising population had visited the site, with around 30% of all visitors entering their details into a competition incentive.

See the work here.

We also have approval on new branding for HF Holidays, meaning a massive range of collateral is to be updated.

We also discover that Coleshill 800, last year's event that I produced branding, marketing and a website for, has been shortlisted at Haymarket's Event Awards in the 'Best Public or Outdoor Event' category. Great news for my Mom, who put a hell of a lot of time and effort into organising the event. Well done to Rob Butler, at Historical Promotions, for putting on such a great show. See some of the pictures from the day here.

More work for the Cabinet War Rooms & Churchill Museum as our cheeky 6 sheet poster heads to print. See a sneak preview here.

Our Portsmouth PCT work heads into production, with a new brand leading to an integrated web, poster, press, dm, experiential and PR campaign. This will work across a number of public health initiatives, reaching many diverse audiences.

There's also a lot of in-house work as our long-awaited rebrand has the finishing touches put in place.

I'm also invited onto the judging panel for the MCCA Creative Crafts Awards later on this year.
