Lift Chat

Our creative department is two floors up in the lift.

You've heard about the 'elevator pitch' for Hollywood movies? When people with an idea for a movie had about two floors to get the point across to the cigar-smoking movie mogul who they had managed to harangue? "Shark kills people on beach. Three men go out to face shark and find themselves facing their true nature." That kind of thing

Well two floors in our agency is enough to have the "elevator conversation"

It seems that the only chat that can take place in this limited environment is about the days of the week. It goes something like this - depending on what day it is.

"How are you?"
"Terrible. Can't believe it's Monday again"

"How are you?"
"Oh you know. Not bad for a Tuesday"

"How are you?"
"It's Wednesday! Nearly half way there. The hump of the week and all that"

"How are you?"
"Great. It's nearly Friday."

"How are you?"
"Phew. Glad it's Friday."


And so go perfectly good lives down the plughole as people wish the best years of their lives away.

Inspiring.
