The Glove Factory welcomes Steve Fuller from The House

Steve will be speaking at the Glove Factory on 7th March about branding your business. Companies small and large know what they do and who they'd like to do it for. What they find challenging is communicating it clearly so that they appeal to their specific audience. Steve explains how The House fine tune and enable that process with tangible rewards.

We've also heard a rumour that Sam's Kitchen & Deli will also be serving fresh coffee, tea and breakfast!

The House shortlisted for two European Transform Awards

The House, Bath-based brand agency, has been shortlisted for two Transform Awards, which recognise the creative industries work in rebranding, repositioning and brand transformation in the UK and Europe.

The House builds Christmas Campaign for Julian House

The House has created the Christmas Campaign for Julian House, the Bath-based charity supporting homeless men and women in Bath and North East Somerset.

The Christmas Campaign sets out to raise £100,000, a quarter of the annual £400,000 public donations required to run Julian House throughout 2014. It also creatively and gently challenges typical stereotypes surrounding homelessness and highlights some of the lesser-known services provided by the charity that give clients a new outlook on life, a future of self-reliance rather than dependence.

Wishing you a Christmas so joyful that even Scrooge would crack a smile

Each year our Christmas card is themed around a chosen charity that we have supported throughout the year. This year, as an official supporter of the Special Olympics GB, we are encouraging everyone to support the Special Olympics in 3 simple ways.

1. Send a smile: Snap your seasonal smile and share it on Facebook or tweet @SOGreatBritain.
2. Make a donation: Text your ding-dong-donation to 70070 with the message SOGB13 + your amount (e.g. SOGB13 £10).
3. Buy the album: Download ‘A Very Special Christmas’ featuring Nicole Scherzinger’s version of O Holy Night here.
    

The card features an illustration of Ebeneezer Scrooge illustrated by Sam Hadley and beautifully printed by Apple Colour. Then posted in a sweet bag sealed with a sticker, instead of a traditional envelope.

Since its formation in 1978 as part of the global Special Olympics Movement, Special Olympics Great Britain has transformed the lives of tens of thousands of people through sport. There are currently 150 Special Olympics clubs in Great Britain, run by over 4,000 volunteers, and involving 8,000 athletes who benefit from their sports programme.

Red Bull - a winning formula

Did you know that of the 11 Formula One teams on this years grid, 8 of them are based in the UK? Quite a surprising fact bearing in mind that Formula 1 is a global sport with races held in four corners of the globe. Between them the 8 employ thousands of UK Engineers, Aerodynamicists, Strategists all using UK based companies for car parts. Some 4,500 businesses in the UK owe their existence, at least in part, to motorsport, accounting for nearly 40,000 jobs. Motorsport is making a huge contribution to our economy and Formula One, in particular, is at the forefront of high-end engineering. I was amazed to learn that 80% of the world's best engineers work in the UK for various Formula One teams.
