Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Hoorah for Red Nose Day


Following on from Charlotte's earlier email about how fantastically Red Nose Day had been marketed this year I wanted to comment on how brilliant (and inspiring) I thought the actual telephon/TV event night itself was. I settled down on the sofa and was in fits of laughter one minute punctuated with horrible heart wrenching sorrow the next when the stories of those less fortunate were shown. It was real emotional rollercoaster and I was gripped all the way through. Well done to all the bods involved that managed to put on a truely entertaining show whilst also drawing attention to the suffering in the world that many of us don't spend as much time as we should thinking (and doing) something about - such a poignant message was delivered in an incredibly effective and impactful way.
And as for Fake That - what a hoot!

  1. I thought you'd enjoy Fake That! It was a wonderful night and as you say some great performances and some desperately sad films. But the courage and pride of many was truly inspirational.

  2. It really was...I think having kids yourself really makes it hit home and that bit more heart wrenching.

  3. Everything was great until what's his name James "overated' Corden took to the stage. But very moving all the same I agree.
