This Sunday saw us in London celebrating the Chinese New Year with Lee Kum Kee. Final edits are being made to the video and we’ll post it here as soon as it’s cooked.

After a re-brand Loddon launch their new web site. We’ve created videos for all the beers, some behind the scenes of Loddon’s and integrated their social channels seamlessly. An engaging and humorous site for the lovely people at Loddon’s.

Experienced, excitable, dedicated and ludicrously organised individual required to work on national and regional digital accounts with a smattering of traditional media. Email Andrew with details of past experience and why you’ll fit like a glove with Nzime.

Lou’s other half dropped by earlier to say hello in style! Not everyday you get your very own air display over central Nottingham.

After a recent meeting with Lee Kum Kee where they very kindly gave me bottles of their finest Premium Brand Oyster flavored sauce and a bottle of Double Deluxe Soy sauce I decided to ‘get to know the products’! As the originator of Oyster Sauce (123 years old this year) Lee Kum Kee are one of the worlds largest producers of Chinese sauces and condiments. There products are second to none; my cooking however may not have done it the justice it deserved. Not a bad effort though as I even surprised myself at how good it tasted.

Here’s the recipe I followed…. stir fried beef fillet and leek
I did add Udon noodles which I must admit isn’t typical Chinese but….

Nzime recently attended the launch of the Idolins new album at an intimate gig in central Nottingham. As friends of the Idolins for several years we were more than happy to help them out with a new web site, especially as all proceeds from their latest album goes directly to the Rainbows Childrens Hospice.

Using Google maps we calculated the exact distance from the Billboard locations to our clients location. The creative we can do; the golf we can’t….

Laura has pulled it out of the bag this morning with a surprise birthday cake for Andrew which tastes as good as it looks. What a star; on brand too!

There’s only a small slice left so if you’re passing this way today then pop in…

This doesn’t really need explaining as the emails say it all…

Hi

Never usually bother with things like this but I thought it was worth dropping you an email.

I’ve picked up a pack of your ‘Toast For Cheese’ packs today after purchasing from a local deli in Long Clawson after they were running a free tasting at the counter. Lovely product, lovely packaging but when I opened them I felt let down as it appeared half empty; as I say I wouldn’t usually bother mentioning but because everything else was so perfect….

Working in a creative agency I always over analyse these things but by reducing the pack size slightly this would immediately fix this.

Anyway, just had one with some stilton and lime chutney, perfect.

Hope this is helpful and not deemed as negative/annoying.

Cheers
Andrew

Hello Andrew
It was a kind and generous email- thank you for that.

This is a very new product with technical challenges, particularly cutting it, packing it and transporting it.
Initially we had to design the box and tray with hand made products so size-wise we had to play safe.
The first products we produced on the cutting machine were much thinner and so they filled the tray better but we had a lot of breakages in transit,
so we had to set the cutter to produce thicker slices – which take up less space.
This means that the tray is, as you point out, rather roomy’ but I am thrilled to see an absence of broken’ Toasts’ in the tray.
We are planning to have a tray with a divider soon, and ideally down size the box a touch.
Because the product is by nature fragile I fear we will always look a bit over-packaged but at least that way we will keep damages to a minimum.
(Have you ever watched TNT in action? – suitably named after an explosive)

Anyway I ‘m glad you like the product.  It is expensive to produce ( 60% fruits/nuts and seeds) – so please understand we are not trying to mislead our customers.

Thank you writing – I will send you another variety for you to to try out and spread the  good word….
best wishes
Ann-Marie
