Got good news? Then don’t keep it to yourself!
Each month The Collective sends a newsletter to our agency client base with information about what’s new, who’s new and what’s new with who.
If you’ve got news about awards or pitches you’ve won then let us know and we’ll share that with our clients, giving you a nice bit of extra promo.
By way of an example, the following information was included in our most recent client newsletter:

Our Conceptual Copywriters are the best!!
We kick off the new year with news of pitch and award wins for two of our Conceptual Copywriters.
Martin Mol continues to be the pitch-winning king. Having won two pitches for Renault Car Events and international pitch for Elan yachts end of 2007, he’s won his thirrd pitch in a row. This time it’s for Linxair, a company that hires luxury planes for business flights. (Martin’s slogan: Linxair. Fly more than business class.) Martin made a total campaign concept from TVC to Direct Mail together with “a really crazy” new media idea for facebook,myspace…etc… So as he says, he can now drive (Renault), sail (Elan) and also fly (Linxair). Martin can’t wait to take on his next project. Could it be yours?
Our other award winner this month is Phil Webb. His short film has won Best Short Film in the Moving Pictures Magazine 2008 Short film competition and Best Comedy at the 2008 London Short Film Festival . Phil will be at the Sundance Film Festival to pick up the Moving Pictures Magazine award in a couple of weeks time.
The Collective extends congratulations to them both.
