Credit where credit is due. The Campaign For Little Britain is a
collaborative effort involving a lot of different people and companies, who
came together because they enthusiastically support the campaign. From an
idea originally created by The Joneses,
www.thejoneses-nyc.com, for two of
their clients, Virgin Atlantic and Tea & Sympathy, and for Anglophiles
across the USA, the following people's talent and dedication played an
indispensable part in bringing it to life and making it happen.
Richard Dean and Pete Lewtas from Men On The Ground, creative directors/writers of the "party political broadcast" and posters. Warren Elwin,
www.smoke-nyc.com, for designing the logo, Stephen Rutterford,
www.stephenrutterford.com, for art directing the posters and Mat Kemp for
picking up the ball on this, art directing everything else and giving us all
a lesson in attention to detail. Martin Parr,
www.magnumphotos.com, for
generously letting us use his fantastic photographs, Adelphoi Music, London
for the recording the guitar, Nancy Kane and Maggi Deroian,
www.peoplesrevolution.com, for tirelessly pitching the campaign to the
media, Celia Byatt, our event producer for effortlessly managing the press
conference. The indefatigable Daniel Neiden and Josh Heydermann for
producing the party political broadcast and pulling rabbits out of hats,
Matt "I can't believe we got a full crew" Ryan for directing it,
www.hanrahan.co.uk, ably assisted by Brad Abrams 1st A.D. and Manfred, our
German DP, not forgetting the legend that is Ray Gardner, our campaign
spokesman. Thanks also to Gina at Restaurant Associates for her patience and
organizing the "canteen canvassing", James, Jay, Iti, Julie and Ben at
www.deepend.com for designing, coding and running this web site, the design
team at Ben Sherman for creating the CFLB T-shirt, Michael Park and Louise
Baldwin for writing and illustrating the CFLB map. Last, but of course not
least, as without them none of this would ever have happened - Nicky Perry
and Sean Cavenagh-Dowsett at Tea & Sympathy and Brooke Lawer and Aimee
Young at Virgin Atlantic, all fantastic clients and a joy to work with. Big
thanks to everyone.
