So the festive season is officially with us! We have put up our Christmas tree and we're looking forward to the paper-chain bonanza next week, where we will attempt to out do the Carnaby Street Xmas lights. We'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, its been nice reflecting on November as it's safe to say glue had a most excellent month. We launched a brilliant new viral for McCain, won the IAB's Creative Showcase for our Virgin Trains campaign, and we won gongs galore at the IMA and Eurobest awards. To top the month off we even had a few astute football fans buy shares in Ebbsfleet United - who knows, we could have the next Abramovich in our midst...

Can you believe it? For £35 football fans now have the opportunity to buy and then take control of a professional football club both on and off the pitch.
Digital photo frames more popular than cameras this Christmas
One gadget on the Xmas shopping list this year may well be the digital photo frame – those small LCD photo frames that show digital photos either via a USB connection or memory card slot. In fact, they are now so popular that last week searches for them overtook searches for cameras - digital or otherwise.
Locate Me!
You can now locate yourself on your phone even without GPS. In short, google geographically looks for the cell your mobile is connected to and plots it into google maps - genius eh?
McCain Potato Parade
As McCain carefully choose all their British potatoes, we decided to give mums the chance to do the same. After entering a few details at potatoparade.co.uk they can send a totally personalised message, all delivered by their chosen gang of walking, talking potatoes. The end result is the spudtacular (sorry) 'Potato Parade' and has already been viewed by well over 100,000 people, including most of our mums.
Awards, awards and more awards!
November might just have been one of our best months for notching up our awards tally - we've added an impressive four IMA awards including the Grand Prix, plus a wopping seven Eurobest statues!
Gunn Report lists interactive agencies for first time
The Gunn Report, for those who don't know, is a report that compiles the most award winning agencies and work across the globe. This year they published the inaugural interactive list in which glue scored a very respectable 6th place. Read on to see the full list of the most awarded agencies in the business.
The Irn-bru Xmas card
"We're walking in the air". Yep, you know the one - the film that makes Christmas, well Christmas. Give the tune a little re-jig and you have a rather amusing Xmas card. Made us chuckle anyway.
