I've never been one for being too sycophantic about things, but I have to say I'm a great fan and believer of our Monday morning Woodreed Workouts. All sounds a bit twee, but if ever there was a time and place, that's it.
The brain and body are feeling slightly sleepy from the weekend, so what better way to kick start the grey-matter than with some stimulating thought and suggestions.
The premise is simple - get the whole agency in a room at 9am, get someone to head the session, spend no longer than 15 mins on it, and you're ready to start the day.
A topic for example; Which 4 celebrities would you invite to dinner (living or dead)? Sounds easy, but when you have Hitler and Oscar Wilde sharing lamb shanks, and Shakespeare and a Dalek fighting over the creme brulee you know Monday morning will never be the same again. There is a serious purpose to it as well though, we talk brand, we talk our own values, we talk about how we feel and act to things. We talk. We think. We share. It's not that often that agencies get the chance to do this all together, and I for one am a fan.
I agree, they're really thought provoking and we do learn more about each other through them. By the way, Hitler didn't eat lamb.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, thanks Simon. It's really inspiring how much everyone contributes to these, no matter how random the workout topic. The blog itself only came about as a result of one of our workout session.
