Best killer pitch invite ever....





We have been invited to Pitches in many odd ways. Phone calls in the middle of the night, half-an-hour notice, one liner e-mails.... But this one really takes the prize. We can't disclose the client for now, but we surely think their idea was super cool & funky. Got this massive disco ball delivered today to the office together with other really cool stuff, ( Can't say more than that for now). Well the guys got all excited and started disco dancing this morning. They just forgot to nail it really well to the roof. The TONIC colleague on this picture will most probably survive and is being treated for minor injuries at a nearby hospital.

Great initiative. Great idea.

-Really looking forward to this pitch. Let's dance!

TRIP FROM HELL






Arnaud, our managing director, just flew over the weekend to Stockholm to pick up our two golds and bronze Epica's. Poor man, we almost lost him to the polar bears and the minus 20 degrees that swept in. According to him he checked every possible variation of Murphy's Law during the trip. Here is an example: It was supposed to be routine trip but it ended up with Arnaud having to re-route across Europe a couple of times and loosing his bags ( they are still not back...). Upon arriving super jetlagged and almost late to the Ceremonies , missing the dinner and having to fight for some drink coupons, we managed to collect our two new friends who now proud our collection at the meeting room.




P.S - Arnaud is flying back to Sweden next week, we are keepin our fingers crossed.

TONIC WORLD DOMINATION



The first post of the year is a little experiment that has been going on at the Agency for more than a week now. We asked everyone to put on a world map where they were born with a RED PIN. Later the same put a color pin where everyone had visited. And last we asked to mark where we have a TONIC friend (BLACK PIN) that we currently or previously have worked with. A week later the outcome was the following:

- Out of 21 red pins 12 are from different countries.
- TONIC has visited more than 120 countries!
- We have more than 30 TONIC friends around the world!

Cape town where the Southern most city visited. Greenland where the Northern most. Hawaii came as the Western most city and French Polynesia as the Eastern most place visited. So of the world's 202 sovereign states we have seen 60% of the world.

Please click on the world image to see in detail all the places TONIC has been visiting.
