Yes, Barcelona. Spain. Well, Catalonia.

Despite the challenging economic climate (heard that phrase before?), the Speed team is heading off to Barcelona tomorrow for an, erm, annual team meeting and Christmas party.

How have we done this? We’ve been prudent with cash, we’ve won new business, we’ve delivered for our clients, we’ve kept developing people all year long, and we booked the flights ages ago so they were quite cheap.

Why am I mentioning this here? Well firstly, we rely on the support of clients (and the few colleagues staying at home) to do this. It’s a reward for all the hard work everyone has put in.  So thank you one and all.

And there’s an ulterior motive: we’re hiring.  So if your agency Christmas party is down the Dog and Duck with a few turkey twizzlers, you’re hard-working, clever and love media work, do get in touch. We can tell you where we plan to go next year
