We mean the recession of course: It’s over! And yes it’s official – at least that’s what this mornings GDP figures indicate. So, is this good news? Well, we all know that it’s going to remain very tough out there for businesses for some time yet but it does hopefully signify a more positive attitude across the UK. So, if you haven’t been doing so already, now is the time to start thinking about how to get your marketing in better shape for what will no doubt be a long and slow recovery – but one that will present opportunities for those brands with clear and compelling messages.

If you’ve spotted a stream of pizza delivery drivers cruising down Guildford Street, and seen the lights on late at night over at BMB Towers you’ll know that we’ve had a crack team of creatives working hard on an exciting new project.
Well, we can now reveal that we were in fact revamping the packaging of an old classic for leading global toys and games giant, Hasbro.
As the secret project won’t ultimately come to fruition for another two years we can’t give much away but needless to say such a job is far from a 9 to 5 when the end result will be played by millions worldwide.
Well done to the BMB Hasbro team, and thank you to the guys and girls over at Hasbro UK, not only for their dedication and partnership but also for their great feedback.
Have a look at their website. It’s remarkable just how many of their toys you’ll recognise, and want to play again!

Fantastic news from the CIPR Pride Awards on Friday after we scooped not one, but two Gold Awards:
Internal Communications – Inside DLR
Best Publication – A Brief History of the Docklands – A Station by Station Guide
It was very satisfying to see all of our hard work paying off. Both projects received the recognition they deserve with some great comments from the judges and we also had the chance to celebrate with our friends from DLR.

Well, after Team BMB returned from Wednesday night’s awards empty handed, the suits and dresses have been to the dry cleaners, the shoe polish has been out and we’re ready for this evening’s trip to Surrey for the CIPR Pride Awards.
Yet again it’s our work with DLR that’s in the spotlight – an internal communications programme and the much-lauded History of The Docklands brochure.
All fingers are crossed that tonight will see us pick up at least one trophy, hopefully two. Usual rules apply – keep an eye out for the live twitter update and a full report will follow next week.

It’s awards evening again and Team BMB are heading to the ballroom of the Park Lane Hotel on Piccadilly to see if they can land the gong for Best Corporate Publication at the CorpComms Awards 2009.
We’ve been nominated for the History of The Docklands piece we produced for DLR and it is a project which has already proved to be a winner after scooping a prize this year’s Community Rail Awards in September.
Apparently the ballroom is where Queen Elizabeth herself learned to dance so we’ll be praying some of those skills will rub off on our team as they take to the floor for what we hope will be a celebratory jig later tonight.
We’ll be posting a live Twitter update to this site throughout the evening so keep an eye out for the results. There’ll also be a full write up following the event.
