			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Building on their open and friendly approach, smoothie brand <a target="_blank" href="http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/">Innocent</a> has just published its first annual report. It&#8217;s not a legal or regulatory requirement, it&#8217;s done purely to engage more with its passionate users and other interested folks.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a fun and informative read. Plus it balances a discussion of their successes in 2007 by giving equal prominence to, well, &#8216;things they learned from&#8217; (including being called out by BBC&#8217;s Watchdog for their <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/watchdog/reports/consumer_goods/consumer_20070123.shtml">exploding packaging</a>, and that <a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/organgrinder/2007/05/has_innocent_smoothies_sold_it.html">polarising deal with McDonald&#8217;s</a>).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s embedded below but if you want to read it and don&#8217;t have bionic eyes then you can <a target="_blank" href="http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/AGM/annual_report/">download your very own copy here</a>.</p>

<p>Coinciding with its publication, Innocent also ran the first AGM&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;&#8230;a day when we open the doors of Fruit Towers, ask our drinkers to come and hear what weâ€™ve been up to and let them tell us face to face what we could be doing better.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s one of the videos from the event &#8211; we can&#8217;t imagine too many AGMs being this much fun <img src='http://www.researchtalk.co.uk/rt/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hat tip to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.brainjuicer.com">Will Goodhand</a> for bringing this to our attention, this is a really good <strong>Star Wars</strong> parody and a testament to TNS&#8217;s <strong>Alan Rayner</strong> who seems to be the key creative brains behind it. According to Will&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Apparently, at TNS they have a summer party each year and each department is invited to make a short film on a theme&#8230;&#8230;this year the winner was this one. Apparently everyone else&#8217;s are really straight down the line &#8216;this is us and this is what we do&#8217; type things!

<p>BTW, the irony in our headline isn&#8217;t lost on us!</p>
