(Hang) Tough Times

Whilst the Snatch London blog has been quiet these last few months, we're pleased to say the opposite is true of our team.

Firstly, Jay, Suki, Bobbo, Dan, Dan, Dan and Max have all returned safely from their 3 month snowboarding secondment @ Snatch Helsinki (pics coming soon).

Likewise, Simiod, Beth, Dave K, Stef and the Planners Posse have valiantly resurfaced after a six week tour of of duty of Tokyo's most luxurious hotels, developing insight for a new range of executive iPhone apps ('nuff said).

The big news in the office however is the buzz surrounding our superstar placement team, Hannah and Jo (pictured).

At just 18, they were technically too young to qualify for last year's Cannes Lions. Still, we entered their Findus Crispy Pancake work anyway. Not only did it earn them a special jury commendation, but also an unprecedented 18-minute standing ovation. If that weren't enough, D&AD are already planning a retrospective of their work at the Victoria and Albert museum in May. And if you can't wait till then, check out next month's Campaign magazine, which is entirely dedicated to the work of one of the hottest creative teams EVER!

Sadly, times being what they are, we can't take them on at the moment. But we're certain it won't be too long before Hannah and Jo are making their crust agency side!
