Combining Doggie Aerobics and STAR WARS, two of our best things…

Yet a little more Brand Budget Envy over here but what we wouldn’t do to be able to have as much fun ‘playing’ with our advertising as Volkswagen. I mean, really, they get to mess around with Dogs and then ALSO combine it with the Mos Eisley Cantina scene too.

Priceless.

Then again…

The New February Recipe Cards are all for the love of chocolate!

Just chuck away those resolutions for now... Sorry.

OK, look we know that it’s only February and you juuuuuuuust started that sit up regime. The one that is supposed to be happening every morning on that usually, very sad and neglected yoga mat that lives under the bed for most of the year, but…

It’s February right?! The year’s just started. Everyone’s back at work and feeling a bit flat already. Holidays were more fun and your desk is pretty dull, right?

Right, so what’s a bit of chocolate to lighten the load. Sorry. Did I say ‘a bit’? OK, a LOT. Think Ganache, Choc fudge Sundaes, Rocky Road, Chocolate Bourbon Raisin cake, Oven baked, choc-filled doughnuts and more!

It’s all excellent stuff though, you’ll see. So don’t delay, click HERE to subscribe or just download it and get your February Fix now!

Here’s a little bit of fun for a Friday afternoon – throwing some NoMU into the festivities of the Aussie Open tonight. So, in the upcoming match between arch-rivals Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, Twitter presented us with an opportunity for a fun little bit of hijacking as there was some debate among the Twitterati as to what the hashtag would be for the final.

Friday Beats: The Black Keys “Lonely Boy”

Black Keys 

With Paul away, the mice will play! So this week it’s our turn to pick the track for the weekend! We’re playing it safe here with a band that Paul actually introduced to the office and now it sets off many an air guitar match…

We kind of love the music video as well, because it’s so… well, random. Apparently this guy thought he was auditioning for the music video, only to find out he WAS the music video -- but he does seem to like dancing to this song. Either way, it’s a bit of fun for a Friday afternoon so enjoy!

Behind The Scenes of the NoMU February Recipe Cards Shoot

There’s no better way to start the year than with chocolate and February’s Recipe Cards shoot was no exception! A perfectly fitting theme for the month of love with Valentines day looming, the heavenly rich smell of chocolate was the perfect way to spend a Friday.  With no less than 16 decadently chocolaty recipes, from chocolate mousses and cakes to chocolate dipped Florentines and sauces to be made we certainly had our work cut out for us and soon the counter tops were covered with dustings of cocoa, bowls of melting chocolate and a flurry of whisking.

When we grow up we want to be able to do ads like this maybe

Perhaps it’s the little brother in a Gruffalo outfit? Maybe it’s the shovelling peas into his mouth and then sprinting off to sleep?

Perhaps it’s just the notion (read: ‘utter fantasy and impossible dream’) of our children eventually bringing us a present (or even just a cup of coffee) in bed?

Maybe it’s just that this is the sort of insane thing we suspect Joseph might be capable of one day…

Whatever it is, as a combination of a beautiful backing track, a faultless performance from the main little star and the sweet and subtle tone of the whole executon, this sort of thing just makes us want to make TV spots for NoMU one day.

Well, maybe not exactly TV spots (or even traditional print) but definitely cinema and audio versions for radio. But that’s another debate entirely…
