Staring out of our new office windows at sheeting rain.  I don’t give a damn.  It’s sunny in my head as I write this first beautiful blog post.  The fact is that after six months of planning and working covertly to get our agency set up, it’s just great to be here.

You will notice a kind of sofa thing going on.  We’re making a special offer to the sector during our launch phase: one hour on the sofa for free.  Yes, you can come and sit there for a whole hour!  And if that isn’t exciting enough we’re also throwing in tea or coffee and biscuits.  Oh, and also an hour’s free consultancy on any subject you like.  Can’t contain yourself?  Want that hour right now?  Call Rachel and fix up a time.

So what might be a good subject to pick our brains on?  Well, Rachel is constantly being asked to consult, and speak at conferences, about social media.  Once you get her started on this you’ll easily fill an hour (or three) and you’re almost bound to learn something useful.  Adam is a kind of data Tiger Woods.  It really is a beautiful thing hearing him talk about it.  More than that, it could save you a lot of money and make your fundraising more effective than ever.  I’m a creative with a long history of brand building and fundraising.  In this sector the two often go hand in hand.

Oh and while I remember, our shiny new logo was designed by Laurence Collings, a young creative from another fresh new venture: Creative Orchestra.  We couldn’t pay him much but we did promise to sing his praises when the time came.

See you soon on the sofa.
