Run it Up the flag pole and see who salutes it day is an expression that means to float an idea to see what people think and how perfectly placed for us right at the beginning of the year. We decided to test out our ‘celebrate everything’ concept with the cheery punters in our new head quarters, Athenaeum pub in central Manchester (you can find us there most days or just ask at the bar).
So we started the creative process with a beautifully drawn spider diagram to get our thoughts down on paper. Once we’d got bored of the new marker pens we approached Tom (Athenaeum bar staff member and free tea giver) to be our guinea pig, if you will. We may not have explained the concept particularly well at first, or maybe he got a bit over whelmed with us both explaining different parts at the same time but eventually it was a thumbs up!!!!!
We proceeded to canvas the bar with a 100% approval rate. Smitten that we’d hit on an awesome idea (though we already knew this) we decided to call upon our neighbour, Mike. Although initially confused by the name of the day we were celebrating, it was another yes (or he may have wanted to get back to his footy). Either way we definitely floated a new idea, one we will nurture for the next 363 days.
Our flag was well and truly raised but more importantly SALUTED!
