Don’t worry, there’s not a swarm of bees taking over HTRHQ, it’s just the buzz exuding from the team as we get going with our newest arts client, Gecko Theatre Company.

The high profile physical theatre group have signed us up to promote their show The Overcoat at The Fringe. It’s their fourth visit to Edinburgh and starting tomorrow evening they’ll be headlining at the Pleasance Grand. Set in an office, it is an epic tale of romance, greed and desire and the story is told using dance, physical theatre and cinematic imagery.

We’ve got five pairs of tickets to give away to the festival-goers with the most outrageous office romance confessions. To be in with a chance to win just email your stories to gecko@hottinroof.co.uk or post them on our Facebook page. The competition closes on August 16th and the cast will choose the winning entries.

There’s a lot planned for Gecko while they’re here so you can keep up with their movements via Twitter and on our blog. We’ll all be heading down tomorrow for the opening night so if you have tickets we’ll see you there.

It’s smiles all around the office this week as we’re pleased to announce that Hot Tin Roof has won the account for Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA).

It’s great news for Hot Tin Roof as we’ve worked hard over the last few months to build a strong presence in the arts sector with campaigns for Museums and Galleries Scotland, Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre and The Fringe.

Located amidst the hustle and bustle of Sauchiehall Street, CCA is a unique space for artists to explore their ideas and push their boundaries. The only organisation of its kind in Scotland, CCA is vital to the continued growth of the arts in Glasgow so we can’t wait to start raising awareness of the opportunities it offers artists and the community.

CCA is an icon of the Scottish arts scene and over the last few years it has reversed its fortunes, achieving financial stability and developing a ground breaking open source model for the arts. We’re proud to be part of the team.
