The Quickening and Super Swimmers

What a lot to tell you, the offers have come rolling in now and the second arrival in the post.

Thanks to Speedo who gave a small hint in that they have sent something signed by their star athlete. By the size of the parcel I reckon it might be a pair of their swimming trunks?

It seems like the Superbrand 450+ companies are really embracing this challenge now and are streaking ahead in the promising of goodies stakes. I am not counting any unhatched chickens but was blown away by the response with positive notes back from Berghaus, Hovis, Scholl, Specsavers, Ocean Spray, The Independent and West Cornwall Pasty Company...more about each of them in detail when the parcels arrive.

My favourite brands are also keeping pace, very excited about a lovely note from Mr & Mrs Smith (who were the first folks to ask about the giftee...expect a nice surprise in that one!!), Pixar written by Buzz Lightyear no less and a certain not yet to be named Premier League footballer who scored a very important goal at the weekend...OK, it's Tim Cahill!!

And so we come to my so far most misguided selection, I really thought that radio / music / promo people would have mountains of things floating around the office that they would happily part with for a bit of a plug...but no....silence. Perhaps they were all at the same BFI awards party and haven't checked their emails for a couple of days...?
