I've had a few busy weeks over the last few years but this one has been extraordinary.

I'm delighted to welcome Ed, our new London based senior AD to the team who's now into his third week, we've begun working with a major new client, having won a 10-way competitive pitch for a major piece of business, new business enquiries are coming in thick and fast and, as a result, I have spent roughly two hours in the office this week - which feels like approximately the same amount of time as I've slept.

All good news and symptomatic of the fact that we're becoming ever stronger in our conviction regarding the appeal of the integrated approach to PR, Search & Social Media, over that of any one discipline on a stand alone basis.

More to follow over the next few weeks - we have another major new hire joining on Sept 6th, to provide a more technical and visually-oriented dimension to the team and further push the boundaries in terms of re-defining what a PR company can and should offer in the contemporary market.

Whilst the three days ahead are welcome indeed for myself and the team, I personally can't wait to switch immediately into Dad mode and expend my energy in a completely different direction for a good few days. So, sleep's probably not on the agenda.

Fortunately, I'm pretty happy with (and indeed, fairly used to) that...
