Ask Obama
Thursday 26th March 2009We’ve been following the Obama web presence closely and can’t help but feel flattered that they’re using a similar feature we introduced to Webcameron back in its day.
‘Ask David’ was a really popular feature that gave the public a platform to address David Cameron directly. It allowed anyone to register, put forward a question or vote for a question to be answered by David personally. In the true spirit of Webcameron it allowed access to David in a transparent and sociable way. A recent article in The Times quoted Obama’s web guru, Thomas Gensemer as saying “In its day WebCameron was cute, it came across as authentic. That’s a good use of the online media to personalise your candidate.”
‘Ask David’ worked really well for Webcameron and we think ‘Open for Questions‘, the Obama equivalent, will work well for Obama too.

Pancake Mania!
Wednesday 25th February 2009So yesterday was Shrove Tuesday, and we decided to react to the news in the only way possible.. make a ton of pancake mix and get cooking!
Alex and Jamie were the guys responsible for bringing in the goods to make it all happen, their affection for the day was truly gratifying as after 24 eggs, 2 bags of flour and a yard of milk later the office was treated to an eggy failure that looked more like a wet flannel than a pro pancake. Luckily our key ingredient, Masterchef Rob quickly saved the day to create a couple of masterpieces before the mix run out.. thanks guys.
