This is a story about my mum who died from cancer in June 2017. It's a story about Britain, race, culture, identity & imagination. Born in Birmingham in 1939, weeks before start of WW2, to Abba, a doctor from India, & Gerda, daughter of a German Trade Unionist. THREAD (1)

Day 2 of #CCLDN2021 is underway! We've had a great morning so far with Kit Altin - thanks so much for reminding the group about how to tackle a creative brief confidently and simplify the process.

Wow. Not only two Graphites (count 'em!), but a YELLOW D&AD Pencil for The Gate's "Nobody Is Normal" for Childline. We all know how hard they are to win. Just so proud of the work and the team. Thank you D&AD and judges. #dandad

YES YES YES! Completely and utterly exploding with joy that our The Gate London paper for Childline has been shortlisted for the APG Creative Strategy Awards. What incredible company as well. Huge love to all concerned especially Sam Dempsey apg.org.uk/creativestrate…

Super proud of my brilliant team! We are only 3. But as we say round here, even the smallest of gates is more powerful than the tallest of walls. Thank you to The Drum judges.

I’d love to buy a house here and name it Off-Hand Manor.

Super proud of this.

Marketing #effectiveness matters—and Kit Altin, Chief Strategy Officer The Gate London & #EffieUK finalist for the Anusol campaign, puts it perfectly: "Effectiveness is the only reason any of us are doing this job – to make things happen."

"If we’re going to distill all of the learnings from today’s cases, three things stand out: 1. Make room for originality. 2. Don’t confirm—break conventions, make calculated risks that are meaningful for your brand. 3. A healthy dose of empathy." -Samira Brophy #EffieUK
