Stacks of Ads (and Pancakes!)

March 7, 2025

 

At Painted Dog, our social events often revolve around mental health and well-being, with activities like lunch in the sun, exercise, sports, and plenty of socialising. But we also love opportunities to challenge our minds—and, of course, to enjoy something delicious.

One of our favourite new initiatives is Ad-hour. This casual round-table discussion about advertising and its effectiveness has quickly become a team favourite (and not just because of the snacks or the prime Friday afternoon timeslot). Our latest session—Ad-hour: Super Bowl Edition—was a lively discussion on the world of high-stakes commercials. Given our passion for advertising and close collaborations with agencies, it’s important for us to stay inspired and connected to industry trends. The power of a good conversation never goes unnoticed!

Speaking of things we take seriously, food is a beloved pastime at Painted Dog, thanks in no small part to the three foodies at the helm. We embrace every excuse to celebrate food holidays, and Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) was no exception. Stacks of homemade pancakes appeared in the office, fuelling a more relaxed (but equally important) discussion: favourite childhood pancake toppings. Some even tried the classic lemon-and-sugar combo for the first time!

Great food, great conversations, and great company—just another week at Painted Dog.
