Last week Liverpool FC captain Steven Gerrard came down to visit the Blue Bell as part of a launch event. Some of the local children who'd worked on the artwork were invited to meet him, and apparently he grew up in the local area. Not only did it provide a great photo opportunity, but the kids really enjoyed it and loved having their work admired by a Premiership footballer!

Visitors to Liverpool recently may well have spotted some out of the ordinary happenings around the city as part of the arts festival Liverpool Discovers. Artist Faith Bebbington's installation The Runner was a standout piece, and has been featured in papers across the world from Liverpool to LA to Brazil.

We're really honoured to have been commissioned by Faith to help develop her visual identity in the longer-term and help her grow her professional reputation. We'll keep you updated on how it's going in the coming weeks!

We met Jon, the Director of Unlimited, on the Arts Council Artimelt programme last summer. Since then we've kept in touch and have recently been asked to help them to refine their communications and brand.

This summer we'll be helping to set their communications up for the long-term, and hopefully it will be the start of a great new relationship!
