- WHY - Wolfe is the director of a graphic music video called Time To Dance for the French electro duo The Shoes that features Jake Gyllenhaal as a disturbed killer on the streets of Hackney, London.
- In a step-change from his usual outings as the sage of Soho, WPP's chief executive, Sir Martin Sorrell, talks about his difficulties going through the andropause, having the Queen "stick her sword" on his shoulders, and links to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
- 101 celebrated its first birthday at the beginning of 2012. The celebrations were fairly low-key but, nonetheless, there were reasons to be cheerful.
- While the group chief executive, Stewart Easterbrook, has wisely set the Starcom vessel on a digital course, the problem for the agency is that it keeps losing key clients.
- One year ago, you could have been forgiven for asking the question: SFW who? But in 2011, the direct agency, which is partly owned by Chime Communications, found itself on the receiving end of attention - and for all the right reasons.
- SapientNitro, a beast that has evolved from a technology consultancy into a digital marketing company that wants to do advertising, finally made headway in 2011 on the creative field.
- Saatchi & Saatchi has a famous name, and spent last year doing its best to live up to it. However, its 2011 was solid rather than dazzling.
- During 2011, 18 Feet & Rising (founded at the end of 2010) experienced sufficient growth to shrug off its "start-up" tag.
- If you have your heart set on a decent school report from Campaign, it helps if you win one of the year's most important pitches, such as the RBS retail media account.
- Wunderman spent most of last year reshaping itself to be in a better position to work across new channels.
- Work Club had its best year since it was founded in 2007. The agency grew in size and pulled in some new business to be proud of, such as taking lead agency status on Sharp's advertising across Europe.
- Wieden & Kennedy suffered every agency's worst nightmare last year. It parted ways with its biggest client and had to make a vast round of redundancies.
- Frankly, a rather bizarre year at WCRS. After adding the "&Co" moniker to its famous name, its parent company Engine ill-advisedly drafted in the 54-year-old hip hop DJ Tim Westwood to create a rather cringeworthy film eulogising about the agency and its positioning as "agents of change".
- Phil Georgiadis probably won't look back at 2011 with any great affection. After all, this was the year when his agency's grip on the £40 million Barclays account - one that, in many ways, defined an agency that had always defied the norm - was loosened.
- Vizeum had a good year in 2011. It ramped up its new-business momentum, winning the consolidated BMW and Mini business, the £8 million Hiscox account and ending the year on a strong note with the capture of William Hill's £15 million spend.
- VCCP has built up a strong head of steam over the past few years, and this momentum helped make last year the most successful in the agency's ten-year history.
- UM London has a presentation document pointing out quite rightly that its Campaign school report score has improved by one point every year since a nadir in 2008 when it was awarded a 4.
- TMW is not a particularly sexy agency, but its new-business record speaks for itself.
- While The Red Brick Road made some significant advances internally during 2011, notably its merger with its sister agency Ruby, it experienced some frustration out in the marketplace.
- Losing Woolworths to VCCP was not the most auspicious start to 2011 for The Brooklyn Brothers, but that blow did not set the tone for the rest of the year.
