Dangerous times at the office party

The office Christmas party gets nasty in this new ad for Harvey Nichols.

This is the sequel to an ad we featured on our blog last year, 'The Walk of Shame' and was created by Adam & Eve/DDB.

It is very funny and suggests 'How to avoid a same dress disaster this season'.

Enjoy!

The corner shop comes to life with Red Stripe

This stunt for Red Stripeby ad agency KesselsKramer (along with Stinkdigital director Greg Brunkalla and creative technology consultancy Hirsch&Mann) popped up in a convenience store in East London.
