We’re off to celebrate Christmas and welcome in the New Year

December 22, 2017

Everyone at immediate future has had a terrific year thanks to our bloomin’ amazing clients, agency friends and colleagues. We’ve learned lots along the way, won an award or four and laughed a huge amount (we know how to have fun!).

We’ve tweeted, posted and insta’d our way through 2017, but now we are going to down tools. The IF offices close down for Christmas and New Year. We take a deserved break and spend time with loved ones, eating too much food and drinking enough to keep us jolly all week! That means, we won’t be blogging until we get back on the 2nd January – we are pretty sure you’ll be doing the same and enjoying family time.

We wish all our wonderful readers a cracking Christmas and terrific New Year.

See you in 2018!
