Bubble - Live From London

Its amazing, what you can fit in an Audi estate. Tables, chairs, rugs, live goat, glasses (the drinking kind), fish bowl, picture frames, with the pictures separate (why oh why?), pens, printed leaflets, glasses (the seeing kind), laptop, suitcases, and assorted DIY implements.

It must have looked like I was returning to college after an easter break. The journey down was fine, and all I can say is thank the lord for sat-nav, as Mr Livingstone's signage department obviously need some development. Either that or they are getting ready for the next invasion of England,and have spent the last 6 months turning signs round so they face the wrong way.

The signage incident meant that I had 15 minutes to unload the car before I got slapped with a £300 fine. Good job I'd been lifiting wiights in Manchester on friday night then.

Setting up the stand at HRD was actually quite easy, apart from one minor hiccup. I'd left the chair legs at home. Fell free to insert your own 'legless' joke here. A quick call to mission control, and some were located at IKEA. Thats chairlegs, not jokes.

It was quite nervy this morning, so many questions. How would the stand be received, would it be busy, what type of people would the stand bring in?

It was a hit! You could probably see the joy on our faces, as people said that it was a 'different stand, and stood out', ' very engaging', and was 'stimulating conversation'. There were few comments about the pictures of the bubble gang on the wall, especially the 'good looking one with spiky hair and glasses'.

The degree of engagement with the brand, and with the ideas that we were putting forward was something that we hadn't expected. People understood the approach that we wanted to take, and from multi-nationals to sole traders, we had some amazing conversations, which is what we are about.

We'd spent the past 4 months planning for this day, and it was worth every moment, every decision that was discussed in triplicate, every design detail that decided on, then undecided, and then we decided that we were right in the first place. It proved to us all that the team we have at bubble are unique, engaged with the ideas that bubble stands for, and engaged with each other, driving each other to excellence. Theres no other team I'd rather work with.

Ladies and Gentlemen, bubble has officially arrived!
