Pitches eh? Risky, costly exhausting and very secretive. But as we all know, successful design is all about successful collaborations, both with your client and your users / target audience.

I love the Maccabees. And I love cheese. So for me, this video is perfect. Who knew that running after cheese could be so emotive?
