A holding page has gone up for Acme Climate Action. Much more coming soon.

A fantastic article about how the website for the magazine Monocle came about, the thinking behind it, the design and the style. Written by Dan Hill who has worked for the last year on the site, it goes into great detail about the challenges staying true to the style and brand of the magazine while also working in the medium of the web. There are many good insights made, many that remind me of our projects. For example, while discussing whether user-generated content should be in the Monocle site: “my view was that we didn’t need comments on the site as people increasingly have their own spaces to talk, discuss, comment - whether that’s blogs and discussion fora, or the social software of Facebook et al.” — an insight many organisations could learn from and feel comfortable about. Monocle, the magazine and website, are also recommended.

Finally, well over a month after the fire, we’ve made it back into the office. During our exile we’ve been based all over the capital, from the faraway wilds of Bounds Green and Brixton to the cosmopolitan chic of Ladbroke Grove and Brick Lane. But we’re now finally pleased to be all reunited and back in Hampstead. The office looks better than ever – it has been crisply repainted, has a spanking new floor and does not smell of acrid plastic soot. Our local coffee and sandwich providers are thrilled that their economy will be revived by our return. Many thanks to all of our friends, colleagues and clients who have been concerned for our health and well being.  We are delighted to say that normal service has now been resumed.
