๐ŸฉWe had a hole lot of fun last Thursday when .donutlab surprised us at with a lunchtime visit.

Boxes were open and the real decisions began. Eton Mess, Biscoff, Raspberry Jam... the selection did not disappoint.

Thanks for stopping by - the team loved it!

A fun night with the best team.โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ“ฃ We won! ๐Ÿ“ฃ

Weโ€™re delighted to announce that our campaign work with First Bus has won at the annual Prolific North Marketing Awards! ๐Ÿฅณ

๐Ÿ† Best Use of Data and Insights
๐Ÿ† Best Mid-Range Budget campaign

We were up against tough competition in these categories, featuring some of the best and brightest agencies across the North, so weโ€™re blown away that our campaign took the top spot!

Our goal was to build a data-driven channel strategy to boost bus patronage across the First Bus network, promoting the convenience and reliability of local routes and getting more people on board. ๐ŸšŒ

Huge thanks to our partners on this campaign, the creatives at Cravens and of course the First Bus teams, including Lucy M. and Jennifer Bartlett, who give us the freedom to deliver such impactful work.

And what a night of celebration for the team! This year, the ceremony took place for the first time at Trafford, home of Manchester United โšฝ๏ธ Thatโ€™s two in the back of the net for Ben Dascombe, Martyn King, and Kane Elgey

๐Ÿ™Œ Itโ€™s great to be back in the office! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Now that the whole team has returned from their holidays (where did summer go ๐ŸŒž?) weโ€™ve been swapping anecdotes with clients and colleagues, after a summer full of fun!

โ˜€๏ธ Work/life balance is important to us here at Route and many of the team took some well-deserved time off to enjoy some sunshine, new experiences and to recharge our batteries with friends and family.

From sunny shores to festivals, sporting events to gigs, venturing out with the family and relaxing, weโ€™re ready to welcome autumn and the exciting campaigns we have lined up for our clients. ๐Ÿ‚

Hereโ€™s a snapshot of some of our teamโ€™s favourite moments. We hope you all enjoyed some seasonal R&R too!

Time for some team building! Yesterday, Team Route took some time out of our busy office to plan for the year ahead, setting our vision for the next 12 months, and enjoying some fun together.
ย 
In the afternoon, we all headed to the beautifully refurbished Wizu Workspace at Portland House in Newcastle city centre. As well as our team based in Newcastle, we were joined by our Non-Executive Director Gareth Turner alongside Ben Dascombe and Theo Daffurn, who travelled up from our Brighton office.
ย 
๐ŸŽณ Later in the day, our competitive sides came out with bowling and darts at Lane 7 followed by food, drinks and lots of fun. Thanks to all the team for their contributions to the afternoon, weโ€™re looking forward to what the year ahead holds. ๐Ÿš€

Itโ€™s always great to catch up with our clients and project partners over a video call, but even better when we can get in the same room together. So much can be achieved when we share and build on ideas while sat around the same table. ๐Ÿค

Earlier this week we met with Stop Smoking London, London To***co Alliance, Gardiner Richardson and Bloom Digital for our quarterly planning meeting.

We got through a packed agenda, delving into campaign assets, communication delivery and activation, and discussing how we can reach and engage with our audiences even more effectively, setting us up for the upcoming months.

Thank you everyone for your creative input, weโ€™re looking forward to continuing to work together to amplify stop smoking support. ๐Ÿšญ
