Back. To the future?
From Charlotte
It’s been less than two months since I came back to Creative & Commercial after maternity leave, and pretty much the first time I’ve been able to take stock of how it’s going. I haven’t stepped into our office for over a year – and whilst i don’t miss the physical premises, I certainly miss the opportunities for creativity and collaboration which come from in-person interaction.
Nonetheless our amazing team has harnessed new tech and 2020-friendly ways of working in order to keep sharing ideas, developing skills and innovating for our clients.
Tribute to Rabbi Sacks
It was a huge honour and privilege for Creative & Commercial to be asked to produce the broadcast that went out on 6th December 2020, to mark the completion of the ‘shloshim’* for Rabbi Lord Sacks. We were able to incorporate tributes from more than 50 individuals, from across the world. And, in 3 days, the programme has had tens of thousands of views
*Shloshim is the intense 30-day period of mourning that is observed after a bereavement according to the Jewish tradition.
