    Team Rubber Advent Calender Hunt is over

    Rowena Farr - December 6th, 2011

    We recently  made the executive decision of investing in office advent calenders for all. I personally thought it would bring 3 potential benefits to the office aside from enjoying some additional chocolate during the festive season:

    1) Ensure people know what the date is in December through a yummy visual reference

    2) Potentially re-asses the level of mess on their desks after deciding where to put their calenders

    3) Get to work on time with the added incentive of chocolate in the morning
    All well and good but could we find Advent Calenders anywhere in town? No is the answer, well actually I lie, the card shop in town had one left and our favorite corner shop had two left, slightly battered and £4 in price.

    Feeling defeated, we turned to the internet and purchased them online. I guess being a Creative and Digitally based media company you would think this could have been the first port of call but there is no real adventure in that. The only option left was to purchase ‘Hello Kitty’ Calenders online for all no personalised selection or team allocated choices allowed in the digital age.

    All well in good – however, upon the delivery yesterday we were informed that ‘one item had been updated in the order’ – no longer did we have 24 Hello Kitty Calenders but instead Peppa Pig had intruded and Kitty was pushed aside to just the two.

    What is your creative process?

    Rowena Farr - July 22nd, 2011

    Following the Vision Bristol warm up event on Wednesday afternoon at The Arnolfini I was particularly interested in exploring Poke’s idea of ‘Creative Process’ here at Team Rubber.

    Different individuals in the office do of course work in different ways. Ben for example aids his creative process through biscuits – and has subsequently been renamed to ‘Biscuit Ben’.

    At Team Rubber we are always ensuring people feel comfortable in their working environment and Ben feels most comfortable when in his own creative working environment:
