Here's a message from our CEO Oliver Bishop:

"Gooday, Good Morning, and Howdy!

People say they can't believe that we are already three years old, and those who have been around since the start will be thinking that it was only yesterday we were huddled around one desk in Cleveland Street. 

2007 was an incredibly successful, busy year for us all. We won clients including John Lewis and British Gas. We opened two new offices in New York and Melbourne. We started Steak Creative. We doubled our headcount. We recruited industry legends Robert Campbell and Matthew Clark to our board. We raised funding. We WON the following awards:

• Interactive Marketing and Advertising Awards (IMAA) 2007 - Media Agency of the Year
• Daily Mail /Make Your Mark Enterprising Young Brits Award 2007 - winner of Best High Growth Business
• Growing Business Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2007
• Courvoisier The Future 500

We were also shortlisted in the events below:

And most importantly Penny the Cow arrived from Marseille.

On behalf of Tony, Duncan, Julian and myself I'd like to thank everybody who has contributed to our success so far - our suppliers, our clients and of course our employees, past and present. It has been a real privilege working with you all, and we thank all our staff from the bottom of our hearts for all the tremendous effort and hard work you have given to Steak over the last three years. You really do go beyond the call of duty.

Enjoy the company parties! Here's to another stellar three years.

Ollie Bishop, CEO"
