Re: UKNM: UK Ad Agencies

Well I'm a digital strategy and production company working ONLY with 

Ad, DM and sales promotion agencies, and I'm happy to talk.... assuming

possibly'  rule. 


How does one join this infamous 'lunch' group ? I promise very interesting 

conversation aslong as it's in Soho.
