Makes a great day for whiskey & cake.
Poor Tim, Karlsson and Mario had to go to The OFFF festival in Barcelona, so they are
missing out on all the fun in the London rehabstudio.
Laters!

Birthday Cakes alright?
Hello!
This is what we’ve been up to the first few months of this fine year that is 2012;
Our creative teams were let loose in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago, to attend the FITC event, all of them came back which was a bit of a bonus.We are still waiting for a report of some sort….
We got some Webby nods on the People’s choice awards with the Subaru First car story project we worked on with the fine folks over at Carmichael Lynch.
Backing that up with a couple of Official Honorees for the Instagr.am Music Video mash up we produced for the Vaccines, and one for the Chevrolet – Ride of your life
We have got some new faces in the London studio; Senior designer Arnaldo B – (Si, B is for Brazil), 2 x Lindas from Sweden (We call them Ericsson and Karlsson, they are both producers and make sure things happen when they should), and our homeboy designer Adam. Check out what Arnie does here and Adams stuff can be enjoyed here
Ericsson is part of the London Rockin’ Rollers crew, and Karlsson is a Hyper Island graduate, who took a detour via Spain before she decided that the British island was the place to be.
Our Belfast Massif has been joined by Rudolfs (Phyton Developer) and Chris (Front-end Developer, here’s an example of what he can do.
Also check out our This is my jam page where we’ll share some sweet music from the Belfast & London studios.
We’re back!
Apologies for the lack of blogging over the past couple of months, it’s not that we don’t love you anymore – honest it isn’t – we’ve been kinda busy cranking out digital niceness.
In fact, over the past few months the rehab gang have been heads down, nose to the grind pumping out projects for some of the worlds biggest brands and most awesome advertising agencies. We haven’t even had time to pop up for a whiskey.
As proof, here’s a sample of some of the great work we’ve been involved with, we collaborated with Wiedens on Honda, built a great game for Red Bull, set about saving the world with Google Ideas, built the first Instagram music video with Anomaly- and did something super duper awesome with a West Coast Agency and a legendary American brand which we can’t talk about just yet (we’ll let you know more as soon as we can, promise).
In the meantime, we’re back for good – so make sure you check here regularly if you are interested in us, our work – or coming to work for us.
Or whiskey, obviously.
Love rehab X
timnotjim not in his twenties anymore
As a lot of you will know Timbo in no longer in his 20’s…. He said goodbye to them in style last Friday with a massive party even rain couldn’t dampen!
Ladies and gents came from as far as LA to his abode in Dalston to get on it.
There was DJ GQ from the Belfast crew, Secret Sundaze DJ’s James Priestley & Ethyl DJ’s, and a lot of people donning beards and wigs to represent the main man.
There was even a dog with wings.
FYI – our hangovers are slowly clearing…

Big thanks to all of you for letting us use your music!
Cheers to everyone who played the #rehabwhiskeyhunt too!
Check us out again next Thursday 2-3 on The FWA.
rehab’s whiskey hunt
Anyone who’s met the rehab crew knows we love our whiskey.
When the FWA came and asked us to be part of their new TV channel we thought we would share the love with the masses and set up the Whiskey Hunt.
We will be back on air next Thursday at 2pm London time – make sure you come check it out and get involved with the hunt!
Secret Sundaze
Here at rehabstudio we operate a work hard, play hard policy. In truth it is more like a work very very hard, and play even harder policy.
This bank holiday weekend was no exception – the gang from rehabstudio London, boarded The Party Bus, a cross between a MEGA BUS and a Limo, complete with a box of Jagermeister…. Destination? Secret Sundaze. Somewhere in the docklands wastelands – by the O2.
True to our other big policy – what happens at Secret Sundaze stays at Secret Sundaze… We can’t tell you exactly what went down there, however hopefully these pics will tell some of the story.
The Beginning Of The End
Party Bus!

Not A Turkey In Sight
Whoever said the Belfast rehab crew couldn’t have a fun time out without drinking didn’t know what they were talking about. Due to the logistics of driving and having to go back to work afterwards, their recent bowling adventure to Odessey Bowl had a strict one drink per person rule which means there was no excuse for the people who kept getting gutter balls (Tom, James, Adam and Chris…….)
The best bowlers of the day were Neil, Ciaran, Connor and Brendan – although no one thought to get the top scorer! The best trick shot had to be Ross who kept putting a big spin on the ball to head for the gutter then curl in at the end, though this did result in binning it a few times! Ross tried to up the game by throwing the ball through his legs for his last shot – but it ended up in the gutter. Fail.
Special mention goes to Steve who managed to get a spare without leaving his seat!
Half time resulted in a few people attacking a punching machine with Jurgen putting the high score on the machine with his first punch.
No one could beat it.
