Fourninety’s Darryl Webster, a member of the retouching and packaging team, has returned to work exhausted today after a grueling weekend tackling the three highest peaks in the UK. Despite no sleep and a mini bus breaking down at the bottom of Scarfell Pike, Daz and a seventy strong team successfully climbed Snowdon, Scarfell Pike and Ben Nevis in an impressive 24 hours, raising a staggering £31,000 (at the time of writing) for Leeds based charity Andrea’s Gift, supporting brain cancer research and support.

This weekend has been a particularly busy one for Fourninety”s Anna Turner. Anna juggles her full-time role as Artworker on the Argos Flyer account with studying part-time towards a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art at Leeds College of Art.  For the past few months, Anna has been busily preparing for an exhibition which showcased her work and that of her fellow course-mates. Called ‘Work and Play’, the exhibition juxtaposed the work the students do as part of their course with the art they create in their free-time.

Taking place at Temple Works, one of Leeds’ most interesting hidden spaces, the exhibition was met with a great reception from visitors this weekend and was a brilliant experience for everyone involved. Well done Anna!


Time to get out those fancy frocks, waistcoats and hats! June marks the beginning of our wedding season as two members of the Fourninety team tie the knot over the summer months.

Last weekend, Operations Controller Richard Jackson married his fiancé Jackie in a lavish celebration that was blessed by gorgeous weather. Having spent his Stag Do recording a CD featuring our very own Mike Heyes and Simon Danks, we can’t wait for Richard to come back from his honeymoon so we can hear the results of the recording session! Many congratulations Richard and Jackie.

Meanwhile, Senior Account Manager Lian Sherer was whisked off a few weeks ago for a surprise Hen Do in classy Puerto Banus, Spain. Despite Lian’s fiancé Bobby seeing pictures of Lian in a dodgy 80s dress during her hen weekend, he’s still agreed to marry her and the wedding is next month. We’re looking forward to seeing you in a slightly more on-trend dress Miss Sherer!

During a time of notable political and economic uncertainty, it is easy to forget the positive opportunities that can come from an economic downturn. Using the latest research, Fourninety have produced a white paper which explores how economic chaos has the capacity to lead to stronger client-agency relationships which hold the key to maximising growth within the retail sector.

With a thirty year history of working closely with our clients to understand their retail strategies, we are very proud of our culture of sharing information and insights. As such we believe we are strongly positioned to initiate this debate.

You can download the white paper here.
