Well, it's my time to write the blog again. Rather than boast about all the excellent work we have done in recent months, the account wins and the raft of awards now filling our trophy cabinet, I thought I would talk about fish; goldfish to be precise.

It's been a good 12 months since we adopted the goldfish image and launched See the Difference, a campaign which has brought the agency considerable success. What's more it is just over six months since we took on two new Bright recruits, 'Posh' and 'Becks', the agency's goldfish, who swim day and night in our reception. What's even more remarkable is that they are still alive!
