I have often been very regimental when it comes to who controls the music in my own car on a road trip. I believe it’s the driver’s right to take charge as long as it’s not detrimental to the sing-a-long levels of the road trip. I hope you will agree or you shall never know [...]
Boxer 16th in Design Week Top 100
We have received some very good news in the Boxer office today. The Design Week Top 100 List was published and it seems we have done very well indeed. Our meteoric rise has seen us climb 21 places to 16th in the list. Can I get a “whoop whoop?” Or perhaps an “AWOOGA!”. What ever [...]
Ninja Knees
Just spotted this cheeky little invention on PSFK called the ‘Chairless‘. It has been designed by Alejandro Aravena and is described as, “a seating device for the modern Nomad.” Here at Boxer, we were rather jealous of how comfortable this lady looked, so we wanted to experience this seating innovation for ourselves. Unfortunately the first [...]
“So…what’s hot right now?”
Through the always informative threebillion.com I found this article on a programme called ‘Frontline’ made by the US TV station PBS all the way back in 2001. The particular episode was titled, ‘The Merchants of Cool’. You can watch the 6 part episode here. Over the 40 minute programme it goes on to discuss how corporate [...]
Nutrition and Politicians
The words trust and food go hand in hand these days as consumers demand to know more about the things they put in their mouth. This has resulted in a constant flow of regulations being placed upon brands to divulge how they source their products and what they put it in them. So it comes as no surprise [...]
Boxer in the awards again

The Marketing Design Awards were held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London yesterday, where the delectable duo of Sonia and Al D represented Boxer. We were in the hotly contested packaging [...]

It was a momentous occasion for Boxer last night as we won a DBA Design Effectiveness Award, hoorah! For those of you who may not know about the wonders of the DBA, it stands for the Design Business Association and the Design Effectiveness Awards are the most respected within the UK design industry because they recognise, reward and promote [...]
Award Winning Boxer
Can we get a whoop whoop?! Or maybe even a high five? What about a cheeky pat on the bum? Whatever you decide to give us, they all work because Boxer has won a DBA Design Effectiveness Award and is a finalist for a Marketing Design Award. Both awards are for our McDonald’s Global Quality Packaging [...]
People Power
As I was thumbing my way through the paper on Saturday, my usually swift perusal was interupted by a really impactful ad for Cafe Direct, the Fairtrade tea, coffee and cocoa company. Here it is in all its glory: This was one of the best print ads I have seen in a while, purely for [...]
Wine – An Experience to be Shared
Last week a team of us spent an evening in Malmaison in Birmingham doing some client entertaining. As ever, this involved some form of alcohol but this was a night with a difference. Out went the shots and the bar snacks and in came the most delightful option of wine tasting. My initial perception of [...]
