I’d hammer in the morning, I’d hammer in the evening… Seriously! Our beloved client Mette Møller was amused, but not entirely convinced by our carpentry skills, so we agreed on a slightly different approach. The final ad (which, we must admit, is more structurally sound) can be seen in the OFW magazine to be launched at [...]
