Welcome to Mark. A Direct, Digital and Data Agency. These are some of the projects we've been working on, social events we've been to, things that have inspired us, and the kinds of people we're looking for to join our team.
Remember the 80’s, when men were men? When being a man meant an intimate knowledge of Kung Fu, the ability to fire automatic weapons (one handed), speak fluent Cherokee, and above all, support a moustache.
Let me take you back to the manliest show ever filmed. Can you even begin to fathom Magnum PI without his Mo? Everyone knows the name of his mo was Magnum. So the show would just be called PI, which doesn’t sound manly at all. In fact, it sounds like a mathematics based game show which, let’s be honest, wouldn’t exactly ooze masculinity.
Therefore, in the spirit of manliness, Kung Fu and, above all, a good cause, the men of Mark have once again joined the Movember movement. And this time, it’s come from the top – lip that is! Both our CEO Dave Whittle and CD Hamish Stewart have volunteered their top lips, as well as the company logo, to the cause.
Dave recently spent 3 days in Berlin with representatives from M&C Saatchi Group’s 26 offices. What did he learn? The group has produced some amazing work over the past 6 months, the Jagermeister factory tour in Wolfenbuttel includes a generous tasting session, and it’s possible to get a rented BMW up to around 240 km/h on the autobahns (not recommended after a generous Jagermeister tasting).
It was a sad day for the agency when Megan and Gen left Mark to start a new life together in Amsterdam, but they seem to be taking the town by storm. Dave was in the neighborhood last week and caught up with them at a little speakeasy bar called Door 74.
In true Mark style, it was a big night. From what he can recall of the evenings conversation, they’ve landed fantastic roles at Amsterdam Worldwide and BSUR, joined the local Roller Derby competition and mastered the art of riding a bicycle while holding an umbrella.
As we move firmly into a future that no doubt includes flying cars and jetpacks we thought we could spare the time to wish you a happy new year from all at Mark.
To commemorate this occasion our long dormant office orchid (pictured above) has finally burst into bloom.
