LEGO WORK FROM THE ARCHIVES

Alex is working on a project to document some of the work we’ve done for LEGO over the past three decades. He’s been spending many hours deep in our underground archives, only returning for lunch and an occasional cup of coffee.
The effort is going to be worth it because the case story he’s putting together is shaping up to be something of an epic. In the meantime I thought I’d share some old ads and brochure covers that Alex has rediscovered.
There’s a lot down there so I’ll probably spread this over a few posts. Alex has also found some of our first TV spots but they’re on VHS so we’re working on getting them digitized.

GAVIN’S PIECE

Senior AD Gavin is always rooting around for inspiration in Copenhagen’s many antique emporia. A year or so ago he had a spectacular find – a bound catalogue of fabric samples from a 19th Century French textile merchant.
Something about the samples kept playing in Gavin’s mind and late last year he started thinking about ways of using them more creatively. An idea for a piece of artwork took root and last week it was realised.
Each page of samples has been individually framed and a digitised representation of a human stomach has been etched over the glass. The result is strikingly beautiful and, once we’ve found a wall big enough, we’ll hopefully be hanging it here in the agency.
Gavin’s also submitted the untitled piece for consideration at the prestigious Spring Exhibition at Charlottenborg Fonden and he’ll be hearing soon if it’s been accepted. My pictures don’t really do the piece justice but here’s a couple:

AND THE AWARD FOR LONG SERVICE GOES TO . . .

Advance has long been known for the loyalty of our staff. People seem to like it here. Once they arrive, they tend to stay for a while.
Today four of our people celebrated some special anniversaries. Henrik (horizontal) has been here 3 years, Martin (left) is celebrating 13 years with us, and Lasse (right) is a year ahead on 14.
But outstripping them all with 26 proud years of loyal service is Alex (centre). Such long careers at a single place are pretty unheard of in the advertising industry and we’re proud to buck the trend.
