Merhaba, Zeynep!

We are very happy to welcome Zeynep Mermer to Suburb as a Junior Producer.

Turning her back on the giddy world of fashion – Zeynep was previously Deputy store manager of Zara both in Turkey and the UK, an assistant brand manager at BNG, a fashion designer in Turkey and a former graduate of St. Martins, in Fashion Styling and Fashion Design and Marketing – phew!

The Day of Hack

A couple of weeks ago I was invited by McCormack & Morrison to be one of the judges at their Day of Hack event. I’m always pleased to be invited to anything, and I love listening to other peoples ideas. So I graciously accepted and set off for west London, typically getting lost on the way. The brief given to the three groups, was to think of a “digital idea that helps our industry” and to present concepts, wireframes, scope, budget, timings and commercial models by the end of the day.

The Wheel of Giving

Instead of sending out Christmas cards, either paper or digital (eurghh), we decided to donate the money, we’d typically spend, to some worthy local charities. We shortlisted eight charities based around Southwark, and built a game that friends and clients (some of whom are also our friends) could play in order to help us determine which charity receives what from the pot of charity pounds. The result is the Wheel of Giving. Please give it a whirl.

Big thanks to Paul, Samu, Clare, Natalia and Kat for putting in the hours to get it done.

Hello Natàlia

We are pleased to welcome Suburb’s newest intern, Natàlia (never Nat, and do not forget the accent on the à).
