Last night, the Unmissable office competed at the Institute of Promotional Marketing’s annual Netball Tournament. They put on a very slick event and a lot of laughs were had all round (some at us).

It’s not often that us ‘behind the sceners’ get the chance to shout out a little about our creativity and service (though given any slight window of opportunity, we are there with our vuvuzelas making a racket in Battersea) but yesterday we were given the green light and a few awards to show off about.
