May Roundup

As May comes to a close, we’re looking back on a month which certainly kept us on our toes, both in and out of the studio. From smashing personal goals to raising money for a cause close to our hearts, it’s certainly been a busy one for the team!

The team kicked off the month with a 10k run in the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run. With plenty of PBs achieved and a high demand for blister plasters, we’re proud to be one step closer to hitting our fundraising goal for Forever Manchester!

Whilst the rest of the team tackled the 10k, Phil went that extra mile (or 7.1 miles to be exact), and ran the half marathon as part of his 500 miles in his 50th year for Forever Manchester. If you’re as inspired by Phil’s fundraising efforts, and his ability to belt out Bon Jovi whilst running a half marathon as we are, you can visit our Just Giving page to donate – any donation big or small is greatly appreciated and goes towards helping an amazing charity.

Christmas is all year round at Cuckoo with multiple campaigns running throughout the year across print and digital. This month, our studio has been hard at work crafting 30 Christmas brochures for Valor Hospitality, which play a vital part in sales for our hospitality clients across the UK. Using photography we shot back in January 2024, we captured unique Christmas images which reflected the magic of celebrating Christmas in a hotel setting, whilst showcasing their fantastic seasonal events and offers. From Festive Tapas to Ibiza themed brunches, it’s been a fun and festive few weeks getting into the holiday spirit!

The month of May saw plenty of professional achievements! One being from our Account Executive, Lucie. May marks the one year anniversary of Lucie joining our team at Cuckoo. Starting out as an assistant in an entry level role, she was quick to develop skills in paid social, account management, print and digital marketing leading to her recent promotions.

We can’t wait to see what June brings for the rest of the team.
