Big congratulations to our designer Simone and partner Steve, who got engaged on Friday. Steve popped the question while on bended knee in the grounds of Chatsworth house in Derbyshire, how romantic! Congratulations both of you and all the best with the wedding plans.

Leon dusts off his running shoes

Leon Summers, our Studio Manager and Senior Designer, put on his running shoes at the weekend and ran the Derby 10k for charity.

Despite having never run 6 miles in his life, Leon did us all proud by running the 10k in an impressive 47 minutes and 47 seconds. In doing so he’s helped raise a huge £595 for The Eve Appeal. Nice one Leon!

He's off!

The fundraising page is still open, so if you want to donate, or see the current total then visit Just Giving. Leon would like to say a ‘big thanks’ to all those who’ve donated and supported him.

Michon/E.ON party – the evidence!

Well we certainly had a good old fashioned knees up at our belated Christmas party on Friday! It was a great night at the Hand and Heart pub with its unusual setting inside Nottingham’s caves.

The night just flew by and we’re sure most people would have been a little worse for wear on Saturday… A good time was had by all – see for yourself below!

Exciting new project for the University of Greenwich!

We’re chuffed to bits to win a pitch to work with the University of Greenwich on their new media player videos. It’s all under wraps at the moment, so we can’t say too much, but we’ll tell you more once the films go live.

We’ve just got the go ahead on a BIG new project with BT!

We’ve just started work on a new internal comms project with BT. We can’t say too much about it at the moment but we’re very excited! The project should be live around April so we’ll tell you more then… Watch this space!

Snow!

Well the whole country is talking about it so we thought we’d join in. Here at our home in Radcliffe-on-Trent we’ve only had a dusting of snow but surrounding areas have been badly hit. We hope everyone is enjoying the snow because it looks set to stay here for a little while longer.

Leon gets on his bike for charity

On Sunday our studio manager Leon took part in a motorcycle ride to help raise food and toy donations for Just for Dogs shelter in Derbyshire. The ride, which went from Derby to Brailsford, saw around 20 people get on their motorbikes, including the Mayor of Derby!

We all helped by sponsoring Leon with donations of dog food and toys so hopefully the dogs will have a feast this Christmas.

Below are some pictures from the day and some of the dogs at the shelter, including the gorgeous puppy which Leon will be fostering over Christmas. Well done to all those who took part in the ride.

Happy Birthday to us!

Today we’re celebrating our 27th birthday! Michon was started by Jeff Michon, our Managing Director, on the 1st December 1982.

Jeff wanted an agency that was second to none for customer service and that offered the right blend of marketing and design. We’ve grown from strength to strength over the years to become a full service agency with clients who’ve been with us for over 10 years.
