Tesco’s blueprint for change

15 January 2012 | The Sunday Times

Philip Clarke, Tesco’s chief executive, has already drawn up plans for bringing the shoppers back.  Clarke’s vision is a Tesco that offers value, friendlier, more attentive service and an enjoyable shopping environment. “It’s when you go into the store and it’s got very clear pricing, a great range and good presentation. It should make you feel warmer,” said Clarke.

Laughter is the best medicine – Sam Stone

A remedy for January blues and a New Year’s Resolution

A recent design industry survey suggested that many agencies feel their clients not only want more work for less money but perhaps more concerning for us creative types is that they also appear to want much safer design solutions as well. These are solutions that won’t cause too many difficult conversations within the business nor do they result in additional challenges over and above those dealt with day to day. We all know that safer solutions will not enhance, our own or indeed our client’s reputations and that ‘safe’ will ultimately not make the world a more interesting place to live.

Bank Revolution

17 October 2011| Franco Bonadio

It’s official. The banking revolution’s underway. George Osborne has said so. The angry mob (us) smell blood and this time we want justice and nothing short of a revolution will do.  Deep down however, we fear we’ve heard it all before. Sure the banks and bankers get a ‘public’ slap but as changes to banking practices become drawn out, the ‘big idea’ is inevitably watered down and when (finally) put into practice, we (still the angry mob) won’t feel or notice a thing.

Every picture sells a story…

12 October 2011 | By Sam Stone

The human tribe is a collective of storytellers – capturing experience through myth, legend, fireside tales or paintings on the cave wall. We communicate, empathise and find historical continuity and meaning through tales told, stories heard and images experienced and remembered.

Does Tesco believe in its own-brand?

30 March 2011 | By Rachel Donachie

As Tesco launches its first branded yoghurt range ’Yoo’, and boasts its ability to undercut ’popular brands’ by 20%, we ask the branding and design industry why the retailer is choosing not to market predominantly under its own brand name?

Tried and tested tips for a new adventure

A couple of years ago I remember watching Micheal Palin staring down at an unrecognisable plate of food, in a remote corner of the world and thinking … better eat up as I’ve no idea where my next meal’s coming from..”  That was then and when similarly I think about the design sector, I am glad those hungry days are now a fading memory.

Art Education IS valuable.

Sam Stone – Creative Director

I was reading in the newspaper the other day that one of the speakers at the Millbank Rally last week was Angela Maddock, an art lecturer from Swansea University. In her speech she rejected the idea that the arts should be subordinated to so called ‘useful’ subjects and instead argued for a defence of ‘art for arts sake’. This was in reaction to the worrying news that art departments in English universities are to be excessively hit by funding cuts.
