Wonderful People!

On Thursday, last week, we had a fantastic celebration for our third birthday as a business.It included some specially designed vegetable cocktails and sticking with the theme an amazing ploughman’s spread.
Thank you to all those who came. It was a great evening for all our clients and partners who share our passion for doing amazing work.
Mike Feather, one of our photographer friends kindly took some pictures to record the event for prosperity. Hope you like them!

Charity sector branding

The Allotment are delighted to announce that we will be talking at the CharityComms brand development conference on the 24th October 2013. We have been given an hour’s breakout slot to talk about the need to align ‘brand to values’ in the charity sector. The session will illustrate how this princIpal was applied to our award winning work for the The Donkey Sanctuary.

The breakout session will be co-hosted by Paul Middlebrook, The Allotment and Mark Cross from The Donkey Sanctuary.

Momentous 3

The last few weeks have been momentous for The Allotment.
Apart from quickly approaching 3 years old (and that’s something to celebrate), we have finally moved in to our very own, special studio at the top of an old print works near Holborn. It will be somewhere that we can grow into as we support all our clients and colleagues to achieve their dreams and ambitions.
