So how would you imagine London’s Mayor getting on in a game?
Well, on Tuesday, Boris Johnson was in Trafalgar Square as the historic site was transformed into a Boccia court to celebrate two years to go to the London 2012 Paralympic Games. continue reading this article
Here is me and my colleagues, Tom (left) and Will (right), wearing our colours to work in support of England 2018.
Yesterday’s ‘wear your shirt to work day’ marked 100 days until FIFA decide who is to host the 2018 World Cup.
It’s a huge week for England’s bid, with the all-important FIFA Inspection Visit also currently taking place.
Seven46 has spent the last couple of months working closely with England 2018 to develop the content for the visit.
We hope yesterday’s event gave the FIFA inspectors an idea of just how much this country loves football.
While excitement is building for 2012 and the Olympic Games in London, the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Singapore are already here.
The inaugural YOG, which began on 14 August and run through to the 26th, will see 3,531 athletes between the ages of 14 and 18 compete – from 204 National Olympic Committees in 26 different sports.
Apart from the obvious fact that we are all sports fans here at Seven46, there has been particular interest in the event, given our involvement with the bid three years ago. So it is especially exciting seeing it all come together…in all its digital glory!

This week I had the opportunity to attend the Marketing Live Show show at London’s Olympia.
It’s a massive, industry-wide event with dedicated areas for four strands of marketing: online, data, insight and in-store.

At times, being an England fan can be one of the most excruciating experiences in life; yet at times it can also be the most euphoric.
There is no denying that the mood of the nation yesterday afternoon was utterly dictated by the result of the encounter against Slovenia. A win and we would progress through to the knock-out stages of the tournament. Anything less would see our sorry players arrive back to these shores prematurely in what would surely go down as one of England’s most embarrassing FIFA World Cup campaigns ever.
As anyone travelling into London yesterday should have been aware, 17 June was Green Britain Day. Even just a glance at the front page of the capital’s free commuter newspaper would have you noticing the unique, one-off lashings of green that dominated the covers. continue reading this article
