Making a splash!
On Weds 15 Feb 2012
London woke up to another media first on February 15th as Dewynters took over the entire Clear Chanel digital 6-sheet network for a day - the first agency to do so. Raising awareness of Singin' in the Rain in spectacular style, the one-day campaign went live on one hundred 72" HD screens at premium-site bus shelters, together with the high-profile Piccadilly Lite at Piccadilly Circus. The takeover of this new premium brand connection targeted commuters, shoppers and entertainment lovers alike in one giant deluge of Singin' in the Rain advertising - what a glorious feeling!

The Quiz Masters
On Wed 18th May 2011
Dewynters staff and friends pit their general knowledge against each other in our yearly pub quiz at the Slug and Lettuce in the heart of the West End. Master of ceremonies for the night’s proceedings was our one and only Jon Ivay, who certainly knows how to put on a show. The wonderful Jane Cahillane was there yet again, providing us with some pretty tricky questions that caused a few heated debates across the pub as the evening unfolded, but our adjudicators Jackie Eades and Holly Franklin were on hand to keep score and keep the teams in order. Congratulations to the eventual winners of the evening who were “The Winner Takes It Hall” team, consisting of Sarah Hall, Michelle Simpson, Michael Diamandi, Emily Naughton and the supposed brains behind the team, Sarah Elliott! Second and third place went to “The Ten Dollar Quartet” and “Beauty and the Beasts”. Better luck next time guys!
