Bulldog - Strategic business creativity that defines, inspires and transforms brands.

Just as we had jettisoned all hope of ever finding the time to launch our own blog, we finally have – thanks in no small part to Vinh Le’s wisdom, blog building expertise and endless patience. Vinh has all the shots and he makes them with grace, speed, finesse and humility. This blog wouldn’t have been launched without his immeasurable contribution.

As the blog is brand-spanking-new, we have uploaded some past work but this space will eventually serve as a shopwindow for the latest Bulldog projects and probably, depending on your point of view, will elicit one of the following reactions from you:

Cautious Questions - you are acutely aware that the pile of pixels in front of you could be 24 carat gold or grade A poo – you’re just not sure which.

Unbridled Kudos - you identify with the core truth in our idea so much, that you comment on it with ferver and turn up on our doorstep dangling a large bag of money.

Damning Criticisms - with medical precision, you will wield our comments form to expose flaws in our work, so sentencing our egos to an unceremonious funeral.

Questions, kudos or criticisms, we’d love to hear from you.
