The Venetian is the destination. There’s a tendency once you’re into a venue that size to never find your way out during a conference. The trip across from Hong Kong to Macau is not [...]

prepping-up-for-the-marketing-triathlon

Two weeks to go and the training schedule lurches from being relatively focussed, to more of a ‘well it’s summer where’s the Pimms’ kind of attitude.  Last week saw two punishing sessions at the ubiquitous Tooting Bec Lido where we swam amongst some other slightly more serious competitors who were setting their sights of the [...]

its-pimping-time-again

 
 Chris took centre stage at the Unmissable Pimp that Snack Festival yesterday with his pimped version of a club sandwich!
2 large bloomers, 16 slices of salami, 3 chicken breasts, 20 slices of cheese, 2 packs of bacon, 10 large tomatoes, a whole lettuce, a jar of mayonnaise and 2 large bags of kettle chips later this was the result!  [...]

 All in the name of carrying the Unmissable sporting flag a little further afield, JC has just undertaken an arduous weekend of exploring exquisite (but very reasonable) chateaux in Normandy for cider, war, coastal and tapestry themed (think Bayeux) prizes whilst also representing Unmissable in a local French tennis tournament.  Would you believe it, she [...]

pimp-that-snack-part-3

  The pimp has returned to the Unmissable office this time in the form of a giant Victoria Sandwich. Not content with the usual two layer sponge, Ange went one better & created a multi tiered sandwich. The ultimate sponge creation used 6 eggs, 300g self raising flour, 300g caster sugar, 3 tsp baking powder, 300g [...]

The Pimp strikes again!
After a week of chocolate crispies, a new snack has been pimped and everyone in the office is now full of sugar once more! Kate pimped a puny Mr Kipling Almond Slice using a block of butter, 6 eggs, 250g sugar, 300g ground almonds, a pack of ready-to-roll pastry and almond flakes! [...]

The Pimp is in Da House!
The first ever Unmissable Pimp That Snack Festival kicked off in London today!

Libby was today’s headliner and after a whole box of rice crispies, 900g of chocolate, a block of butter and several heaped tablespoons of golden syrup the mammoth chocolate crispie cake was unveiled alongside a standard sized version [...]

Dear Angela
 
We just want to say thanks very much for the incredible week in Orlando that we have just returned from.  Without doubt we have had the best holiday ever, we visited all six parks with the flexi ticket that you provided and ended the week at the Kennedy Space Centre.  The car and hotel [...]

unmissable-enters-the-marketing-industry-triathlon

We’re not quite sure what we were thinking, but Justine and I have entered the first Marketing Industry Triathlon on 10th July at Dorney Lake! With just 5 weeks to go we finally started training last weekend and discovered that what we thought would be a bit of fun is actually quite a challenge! We [...]
