Everyone's An Expert
It's all over social media at the moment - the horrific effort a 'baker' has made to replicate an Elsa cake from Frozen - but is obviously way out of their depth. In case you haven't seen it - here it is (you can't un-see this so be warned!)

My First Sportive
Due to an injury to a tendon in my foot, I had to stop running and so to keep my fitness ticking over I bought and entry level Carrera Karkinos road bike from Halfords and decided to focus on cycling rather than just stop training.
Go Dad Run
Sunday mornings. What do you normally do? Have a lie-in? Not us! Here at The DM Lab, we pretty much do something every Sunday. Sunday 14 th June we entered the Sanlam UK Go Dad Run in Worcester. What is the Go Dad Run you ask?!

D-Day 71st Anniversary
One of the best intros to any movie ever has to be the beach landings depicted in Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. Sat here behind our desks we can't even begin to comprehend how those young men felt and although just a movie, it's about as close as we could ever get to seeing the devastation of war and the frontline battles.
Running Day
Here at The DM Lab, we like to work hard and play hard. Outside of work we are a pretty active bunch. Football, gym, swimming, running, cycling and surfing - if it makes you sweat we’re pretty much going to be doing it after work or at the weekend!
Offline Marketing
Offline Marketing is as important as online marketing. Without a doubt. We were having a tidy up in the studio the other day. We found all manner of flyers, posters, brochures, programmes and business stationery.
Northleach 10k
Another weekend passes, Team DM Lab enters another 10k race! This time, we entered the Northleach 10k all-terrain run in the Cotswolds. The race was a single lap around the beautiful town of Northleach, through fields, up hills, over a stream and along narrow country lanes.

Eastnor Chilli Festival - Eastnor Castle
Yesterday (4th May) on Bank Holiday Monday we went to Eastnor Chilli Festival at Eastnor Castle. Weather was great, there were loads of really cool (but hot!) stalls with some AMAZING products. We pretty much sampled EVERYTHING - we love our spicy food here at The Lab!
Mayweather v Pacquiao
Pretty excited about this!

Social Media Engineering
See something so staged on social meda that screams 'Social Media Engineering'? Thought so. A picture paints a thousand words, right? Sort of. A great picture will get you a whole bunch of ' Likes ', ' +1s ' ' pins ' and ' favourites / retweets '.
Abergavenny 10k
On Saturday (25th April) our Team DM Lab once again managed to drag themselves away from their desks to take part in the Abergavenny 10k once again organised by Steve and Jane Poolton (who were the organisers of the Almeley 10k ).
