Cherry Cocktail Challenge from Cherry on Vimeo.

You may recall a while back, we hosted the Cherry Cocktail Challenge in the studio, pitching four teams against each other to create and brand a cocktail for the D&AD New Blood event.

We filmed the whole thing, so sit back and enjoy the results. We certainly did!

After returning to France following a 6 week stint with Cherry, our recent French intern Magali sent us this rather lovely photo. Of course we say lovely but it actually it fills us with jealousy to know she is now basking in the sunshine of the South of France before starting another year at university in Bordeaux! We look forward to our next meeting and hope to welcome her back to Cherry Towers very soon.

Good luck Magali!

The NEC show is the second biggest consumer show in the UK, and the ExCel event is the first caravan and camping show to be based in London for almost 6 years.

Cherry have already created the logos for both shows, and are currently in the process of rolling the branding out across print and digital.

MatterSphere employs the latest Microsoft Silverlight technology, providing legal professionals with true anywhere access to client and matter data.

It’s a truely innovative product, which Cherry are proud to have contributed to.

Big thanks to all that braved the winter chill and joined in with our well attended mulled wine and murder walk. Cherry friends new and old prepared for the cold by warming up with Aaron’s home made mulled wine, before being led out into the streets of the East by the very knowledgeable Ed Glinert.

The tour brought to life the slums and treacherous conditions of the 18th and 19th Centuries, as well as the life and crimes of the notorious Kray twins just 50 years ago. We also survived a few hecklers passing by with cries of “It’s a pack of lies!”

The night came to a close in the Pride of Spitalfields, a small, authentic East End boozer, which our large group filled up and took over for the late evening hours.

Check out a few more of the pics from the night here…

Cherry are larger than life on Design Week’s website. Our festive mulled wine and murder map has been featured on their blog with a great little write up! Check out the full article here.

The view from the roof of Cherry towers is a little whiter than usual today. The novelty hasn’t worn off just yet, we are hoping we get around to building a snowman before it does!

Cherry have been working with Lonely Planet on the launch of the Million Day Grab Back campaign.

A survey by Lonely Planet, the world’s leading travel information provider, has produced some eye-opening statistics on how people use – or misuse – their time off. The research finds that Brits are using just 25% of their weekends for days out, with 28% not taking any at all. Worryingly, the research also shows these days out to be in decline.

With so much precious free time going to waste, Lonely Planet is on a mission to help the nation reclaim what’s rightfully theirs – time off, well spent… away from the daily grind!

People can join the campaign by signing up for Lonely Planet’s “Seize the Days” email newsletter, packed with inspiring, cheap (and very often free) ways to make the most of their time off.

Everyone signing up receives a 10 Free Days mini-guide to get them grabbing back their free time straight away, and helps push the campaign total towards 1 million days. There are also great prizes and bonuses up for grabs.

You can reclaim your days off and support the Million Day Grab Back by signing up here.
