The office is being powered by Haribo today with Fi and Clare demolishing a bag of Starburst in under 20 mins – and just a few little bears left in the bottom of the studio sweetie jar…

We’re sad to say that we’re looking for an assertive and highly organised Studio Production Manager. Mark, who’s currently in the role is moving back to Norwich to be closer to family, so an exciting opportunity has arisen – if you know of anyone who can fill his shoes, we’d love to hear from them (or you!).  They/you’ll need to approach complex tasks with enthusiasm, relish the challenge of keeping our busy studio calm and organised and be prepared to go to the ends of the earth to keep our fantastic clients happy. In return, we offer a great working environment as part of a fun and highly motivated team and a competitive salary. Please send your CV to jonathan@scarlettabbott.co.uk

Happy New Year to you and a happy 21st birthday to us! Yes this year scarlettabbott is 21! We’ll be celebrating with the team and our lovely clients throughout this year (yes any excuse!).

Watch this space…

But to kick off 2012, and as we get stuck back into some exciting work projects, we’ve made some resolutions. Rachel, Kirstie and Craig are in fitness mode – resolving to get in shape for the summer, Clare’s running FOUR races this year, Richard will start cycling again (once the wind dies down a bit!) and Fiona wants to do more for charity in her spare time. What’s your resolution for 2012?

Congratulations to Dawn McCarroll of National Grid, the winner of our 2011 Messy Christmas game.

Dawn came in with a a stonking score of 3,000!

£100 will be winging its way to Dawn’s chosen charity, Puriton Horse Rescue. All of the fields at the sanctuary are flooded so they need all the help they can get. The contribution will go some way to help feed all the little mouths… http://www.puritonhorserescue.org.uk/

On this mild and sunny winter morning in York, there’s a certain eau de Jagermeister polluting our office air…

Yup, we went out for some well earned Christmas drinks last night.

It began well, with a cheeky glass of vino as we opened our secret santas. Then we headed out to a charming little local for a pub quiz.

Our very own Craig got up at 7.30am yesterday (yes really) to lovingly craft this festive-themed quiz just for his colleagues. Aaah, it was like a scene from a Christmas movie as we laughed, joked, conferred on the quiz and sipped mulled wine by a warm crackling open fire (oh, wait, there wasn’t an open fire). Sorry, anyway somewhere between there and visits to a number of hip and happenin’ bars and ale houses Mr Jagermeister paid us a visit, and that’s kinda where it starts to go a bit fuzzy.

There’s no photographic evidence of what went on (as far as we know), but Fran, Sophie, Kirstie and Becky hit the dancefloor and Mark and Josh almost hit the pavement as the last men standing (albeit next to a gutter) at around 3am.

So, what to expect as our bleary-eyed colleagues skulked in this morning. Not much frankly. The force is strong with the eau de Jagermeister and already we’ve had a 9.15am request for a chip butty and quilt.

Our creative hub members have now been quarantined for their own safety.

Drum roll please! It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for – the Squiz answers are in!

Let us know how you got on. Who’s reigning champ and who’s sat in the corner underneath the dunce’s cap?
