1. Merging into Why35...

http://www.conrandesigngroup.com…Interestingly, Why35 claim they will grow by exploiting CDG's European retail experience, and Conran say they'll grow by exploiting Why35's corporate reporting experience.
So they'll just sit there poaching each others clients then?

2. Who did it first?

Tangential fact: Jane Simmonds is managing partner of Conran Design Group. She used to be a director at BamberForsyth. BamberForsyth sold out to Cossett communications and got merged with Fitch. The BF directors had a mutiny within the year of the merger and left to set up Why35.
Small world innit.
- Correction: That was a Rebecca Simmonds, not Jane Simmonds.Horp
- be great if it was Gene Simmons

It's called 35 or 35 Communications
Should add that to the "designer family tree" that some kid was creating

They started out as Why35, not sure why they changed. I worked as a 2nd creative director, project specific, at BamberForsyth and was going to stay there on the payroll but they sold to Cossett and I had been through all that shit so many times by that point that I hoofed it.
I'm watching Fortune Street quite closely at the moment. They are on my recession deathwatch list LOL. I worked with them too, at N&S before (and during) the Interbrand merger.
- I'm sure they'd thank me for putting them on my list.Horp

- No, that would be mean. I have grave fears for a very highly regarded creative company though!Horp
