work we do: Behind the scenes with Jess Ennis
About a month ago, the adidas team were granted access to the latest adidas campaign shoot for 2010 featuring Heptaphlon World Champion and rumoured favourite to win BBC Sports Personality of the Year (jinx) - JESS ENNIS. Seeing this as a great opportunity to gather press material the team got to work. Not content with securing exclusive interviews with leading women's fitness mag Zest and a TV spot with GMTV, they also arrived with the stylist of Grazia and a film crew to create a lifestyle behind the scenes film for further outreach around the coveted BBC SPOTY award (Sunday 13th December). Here's what they got:work we do: So, what's happening with Sidra....
Amanda Sefton, Paul Teuton and Hannah Morris have been working flat out this winter to submit plans for Sidra – the cutting edge hospital due to open in Qatar in 2012. A rather suspicious Healthcare department have been informed that regular trips to Qatar, where the temperature in October reached a baking 45 degrees, have not been only fun in the sun. Having shared an apartment all together on the trips, the Sidra Team have become positively Walton-esque, and reports suggest Paul is quite the morning Barista. The team has conducted a huge amount of research, looking in to what Sidra will offer to staff and patients as well as what Qatar is like as a place to live and work as an ex-pat. Based upon this, and those oh-so-challenging trips to Qatar, the team has developed a 3 year global PR plan (along with TBWA Raad in Dubai), which includes a myriad of exciting ideas, including a ‘Grand Designs’ style documentary following Sidra as it’s built – Kevin McCloud is currently TBC.
Amanda and Paul recently presented the plan in Qatar, from the perspective of our target audience (Paul was a doctor and Amanda a journalist). In method acting style, they were planning to dress the part, but chose not to in the end. The plan now has to be approved by the Executive Committee – which consists of most senior people in Qatar healthcare system. Fingers crossed that the plan will be signed off early in the new year. If all goes to plan, hopefully Hannah will not have to sleep on any sun-loungers again, having missed the apartment curfew…
Wall Street Journal’s Future of Finance summit
Richard Griffiths, Paddy Blewer and Avril Lee were wrestling with the world’s media this week as around 60 reporters descended on South Lodge in Sussex for the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Finance summit. Journalists from Sky News, the Daily Telegraph, The Times, City Am, Bloomberg and Reuters were among those who showed up in the hope of interviewing some of the most powerful people on the planet. George Soros, David Cameron, Alistair Darling and Barclays boss Bob Diamond were all there chewing the fat on(e) everything from bank bonuses to how to regulate the financial system. The trouble is not all these financial high-rollers wanted to talk and Richard and Paddy had to deal with the press scrum. Nonetheless, after much smoothing of journalists’ egos (and drinks in the bar), the event secured around 60 pieces of coverage including an item on the BBC 10 O’clock News after Richard carried the tape for the piece into Ketchum on his bike .. then the baton was handed over to intrepid intern Catherine Davison who hotfooted it to the Bank of England to deliver the tape to the BBC reporter! Thanks to Robyn M for reeling in this opportunity!

out and about: KP goes Yeah Yeah Yeah
On a cold winter's evening 4 and 2 ex Ketchumpleonites ventured to the Brixton Academy to enjoy what was to be an enthralling rip roaring performance from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, a regular Monday night this was not to be. From the off YYYs le ad, Karen O had the crowd captivated and in awe. Energetic, charasmatic and resembling a page from a Dazed fashion shoot on speed, Karen and the band performed song after song that the crowd could scream, yell, jump, dance and just lose themselves to. The YYYs rolled out all their hits throughout the night, but made sure to leave the show stopper until the very end, giving a heart stopping acoustic version of 'Maps' after the crowd were left crying out for 10mins to get their encore. Very rarely would the venue have witnessed the Brixton crowd go from rapturous cheering and excitement to an euphoric silence induced from the first chorus before breaking into one harmonious voice to take the song to its finally. The full house left the Academy blown away and knowing that they had just enjoyed something special; a performance only very few will ever match.
LC Xmas challenge
Last week, ex-marine Fernando and his digi team (we say team - but in reality, just Laura S) stepped up to kick off the LC Xmas challenge (blogged lower down) with their puny tree and borrowed baubles, throwing down the gauntlet to the rest of KP London. Well, the 3rd floor sounded its war drums and rallied with Claudia, Allison, Emma, Beth, Peter and Caroline banding together to show off their Xmas cheer and are the latest pretenders to try and claim the KP London Xmas Challenge Throne! Here they are in all their Xmas cheer glory (click pics to enlarge), calling the rest of you out to take on the challenge. So get involved! The 1st floor east have been seen preparing their pink tree and those Xmas sweaters have been spotted around the building.

A trip to the movies...
In January 2010, Amanda M, who produces films in her spare time - and some of us say we can't find a spare moment to do our timesheets - will see her first production 'A PEACOCK FEATHERED BLUE' (trailer below) screened at KP London's local Richmix cinema (Bethnal Green Road). This short film about a 9yr old boy's challenge and struggles with self-belief to fulfil his dreams of inventing a new colour has already received high praise and even made the official selection to 5 indie film festivals.
So pen in your diaries 2PM SUNDAY 17TH JAN 2010, grab some popcorn, take your seat, switch off your mobiles and any video recording equipment (Although we've all enjoyed a pirate DVD where someone from the audience walks across the screen, it is illegal!) and enjoy this Amanda M production.
