A little radiation in our daily lives.

We spend a third of our lives in our workspace. Sometimes much more! And our environment can have a big impact in our mood, our creativity and our work. As humans, we all need a certain amount of stimulation and the environment can help to provide this. If our minds are kept active and fit then they will be ready to be called on when we need creative thought.

With the winter drawing in we felt we needed to brighten up our working space to inject some positivity into our daily lives to help us through the cold days ahead.

We have been working together with artist Tom Shedden to come up with murals that reflect our personality. Our company purpose is "Creation by positive energy" and so we wanted something radiant and energetic.. and these little touches are what we came up with..

We hope you like them and come and visit us to see them in person.




Tom is an artist based in London and Folkstone and has supplied us with a few interesting pieces to showcase. One project was to create art for the sensory deprived.

"Do not touch" is a large scale installation that has large scale Braille that spells out the title.




"Hide and seek" and "Green with envy" , uses coloured dots to form text which can only easily read if you are colour blind. A lovely example of giving something personal and special to the viewer.

David Bowie once memorably claimed that “time may change me”. The Wildhearts, on the other hand, declared that “nothing ever changes but the shoes”. Based on personal experience I’m more inclined to agree with the Thin White Duke on this one – we live and work in a world where change is prevalent, and evolution is crucial.

I have been with Publicis for what is rapidly approaching a decade now, and have seen a lot of changes and developments in that time: changes in personnel and in office; changes in clients, in leadership, in ownership; and changes in policy (though my campaign for a military-style medal for ten years service continues to go unheeded) … and the summary of all this is that I feel pretty qualified to reinforce the core message of this blog – Change is Healthy.

Change can be healthy on a physical level – not least because when I joined this agency, we were working out of a converted barn in South London with a leaky roof and minimal regard for creature comforts – a far cry from the über-modern surroundings we find ourselves in now. Change is necessary in an industry such as ours – advertising has undergone plenty of peaks and troughs in my time moving in these circles, with each high and low offering a new and different learning experience. Such experience is surely essential for anybody in any business or industry, and especially for someone such as myself who entered agency life as a wet-behind-the-ears teenager. Change in leadership has also offered invaluable insight into the world of business – watching different characters and personalities imprint their authority on this agency has been fascinating as well as beneficial, and has played a sizable part in my own career development in a variety of different roles within Publicis.

And perhaps therein is where we find the most important by-product of change – variety. What drew me, and I’m sure many others, to this industry is the promise of diversity in our working lives, with no two days promising to be the same. It’s impossible to be complacent in delivering workload when the metaphorical goalposts could be moved from one moment to the next, and the needs of a client rarely stay consistent for too long due to the nature of our ever-evolving industry. Change keeps us all on our toes, and continues to drive us to be the best we can be for ourselves, our agency and our clients.

Change can be unsettling and cause a disruption to a comfortable status quo, and change can sometimes seem wholly unnecessary at face value. Scratch deeper though, and you will find an overwhelming truth in the world of advertising – change is exciting, invigorating and, above all, healthy.
