Now at GRP

£21 million and counting…

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

That’s the figure raised by Children in Need on the day itself (Friday 14th) and over the weekend, but there’s still lots to roll in from around the country, including over £800 from GRP.  We raised the money through a frankly deranged combination of raffle, bring-and-buy and fancy dress (with special mentions due to Garry “Amy Winehouse” Allen and Iain “Tinkerbell” Finlay).

We’re still accepting donations, by the way, so you could chip in and help us reach a grand.  Call Emma if you’d like to buy a copy of our GRP cookbook - minimum contribution, three quid.

Pudsey comes to Possil

Thursday, November 13th, 2008


It’s Children in Need Day on Friday 14th November and at GRP we’re throwing ourselves into the spirit with fancy dress, a bring-and-buy sale, a raffle and several culinary adventures, including ice-cream and chili-con-carne (not necessarily on the same plate). 

Most of this hilarity is confined to our own office, but if you’d like to contribute, you can buy a copy or our mouthwatering charity cookbook, or enter a prize draw to win a Christmas Card designed for your company by our award-winning creative department. 

To help a great cause, call us now.

Sweetie smell of success

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Winning is good in our business, even if it’s not always a plum new business account, or a D&AD Pencil.  And this week, Steph and Lisa won a huge box of sweeties - including retro favourites like Sherbet Fountains and Black Jacks - courtesy of Galaxy 100-106, a new radio station launching in Scotland and taking the place of XFM. Thanks to Kevin, Sam and Cheryl for their presentation and generosity.

The McCauley and Robertson Show

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

BBC Scotland visited us last week for a live link-up to the Fred McCauley show.  Unfortunately - timing for live radio being how it is - Birte, Jamie and Nicki were primed and ready to share their views only to be dismissed while the show cut to the 11am news.  Later Guy and Martin got a few seconds on air.  It was long enough for Guy to get a dig in at LibDem MP Lembit Opek, anyway…

Snowman - The Result

Friday, January 4th, 2008

In the run up to Christmas, we e-mailed an interactive card to friends of GRP with an invitation to design their own snowpeople, with a prize for the best. Scores of snowbodies and snowthings were submitted to our gallery, and examples ranged from the classic to the perverse. For sheer surreal imagination, the winner is this brilliant but physically impossible design by Graham Hill of JC Roxburgh. His prize - a bottle of something rather more sophisticated than the tipple in the picture - is on the way to him.

For Auld Lang Syne

Monday, December 31st, 2007

It’s early morning on a gloomy 31st December, and a few dedicated souls have dragged themselves into GRP for the last day of the year.  As we compare notes on hangovers and laugh at each others’ Christmas jumpers, it’s time to reflect on the agency’s 21st year and look ahead to 2008.  Most of all though, it’s an opportunity to wish all our friends - whether clients, suppliers, business partners, peers, rivals or just good mates - a prosperous, happy and fulfilling New Year.  Have a great time tonight everyone.
