Part of our wider knowledge-transfer programme, this month’s Lexicon was delivered by Paul Winter from Identity Print. Bringing all manner of printed items, it was a refreshingly analogue way of presenting as Paul talked through his understanding of the industry, how it has evolved and where it’s headed. A designer’s dream.
We were delighted to be joined by Lucia Kopacikova for this month’s Dialogue. It’s all too easy to judge a book by its cover, but Lucia’s journey from rural Slovakia to global modelling success was both captivating to listen and truly impressive. A huge thank you to Lucia for taking us through her story – and all accompanied by her delicious homemade biscuits too.
The digital team has expanded this November with the arrival of Phoebe Sindall. Working closely with Hermione Foster, armed with a keen eye for detail and a passion for organisation, Phoebe will offer a fresh perspective to many of our digital projects.
October was a proud month for Socrates as we celebrated our fifteenth anniversary.

We were delighted to be joined once again by nutritionist and Be Well Collective founder, Sarah Ann Macklin for October’s Dialogue.

More food for thought indeed.

September’s Dialogue brought a familiar and well-loved face to Socrates as we were captivated by the life journey of photographer, Andres Reynaga. From his upbringing in Peru to working on surprising, and perhaps controversial campaigns, he also touched on some of the remarkable work of his family’s charity in Peru.
We have recently been appointed to develop the visual language and positioning for Bossa, a modern Brazilian restaurant in Vere Street, central London. This involves a phased review of the online presence, alongside evangelising the compelling narrative of the ingredients and flavours, the wines and passionate knowledge of the whole team. We highly recommend the scallops!
