Cool! Any chance you could embed it on SlideShare (just thnking about other bloggers and the media here 😉
Good luck guys!
Really great read, simple and to the point; I hope it gets a good a reception as it deserves!
Well done you guys – Can’t make a comparison since I haven’t seen the competition but well done.
Also, I will agree with Lolly – any chance of SlideShare?

Great work to include the voice of the people and create a platform.
I understand your idea is really the process itself and this takes collaboration with the client, but still cant help think that an actual design outcome was missing.
This also raises questions:
— can there be too many stake holders in the process? Is design by committee a good thing?
— can market research/public opinion harm the outcome?
— Is design leadership still valid? Should it be a democratic process?
Really good pitch guys – I just enjoyed reading through this over my lunch. Only heard about your initiative yesterday, but really excited by it. I will certainly be sending over my thoughts and ideas and spreading the word. Looks like you’ve got a team ready to provide the goods! It’s a dream brief, but a tough one at that…
Good luck.

The presentation looks fantastic! Good luck MB!
That’s an awesome pitch – apart from the apostrocide on page 2 – I hope you get the gig!
Nice work guys – good pitch.
I would like to have seen some of the rough ideas developed a little more. A lot of the public suggestions were good in theory, but were executed terribly (as expected by non-designers). You could really show your value by taking a few diverse options to the finished product, showing Boris and co the value of public input mixed with your brand, story, process and design expertise.
Just a thought – well done!!
This is why I’m glad I didn’t pitch for this project. Who knows what else has been entered, but if I were Boris!
Very cool pitch presentation. Great creative concept, can’t wait to see the process going forward. Watch out London!
Nice presentation. Looking forward to seeing your concepts!
Nice and simple well done!
I like the part where you say what’s still missing. The learnings from Saffron and Wolff Olins.
It’s the most awsomest pitch!
This is simple, fresh and forward thinking. You have understood. Thanks for involving us.
Your pitch material looks great. If they don’t hire you it’s London’s loss 🙂
Brilliant social media idea to support your pitch and engage the your audience ….
Every other design agency in London is saying to themselves ‘i wish we had done that’…I know I am.

I find MB’s approach to the brief either incredibly ballsy (not showing any actual design work) or ingenious. Either way I don’t ‘wish’ to have done the same thing (not that I entered the project) asking the public to get involved is a nice gesture but surely the designers should do the designing / ideas generation?! Not the public?
A brave approach and I wish them all the best.
Hope the pitch goes well. 🙂 The material looks very good.
All the best.

[…] Moving Brands “A Brand For London” […]
I think this is a little bit gimicky and as said by previous posters may actually be to the detriment of the design industry – should Moving Brands not be the experts to com eup with the best result?
Having said that, is a gutsy approach and will if nothing else stand out against the crowd. Good luck…..

very convincing story. (i agree with everyone asking for slideshare above)
