Just to let you all know that due to our huge workload and the deadlines we are meeting by the end of December, our Blog is going to be snowed in this Christmas! Our next entries will be posted during the first week of the New Year, when we return from our Office Winter Break. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and the best of wishes for 2008! 
The latest campaign that we have been working on for 118118, with PR agency Resonate, is Caroloke! Aiming to resurrect Carol singing in the UK, 118118 runners are hitting the streets of London and recording the public singing carols.
