“Mighty oaks from little acorns grow”
Christmas at PrettyGreen is a time for relaxation and reflection, for the latter of these, we like to look outwards for inspiration before looking inwards. Last year, The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, reminded us to focus on good humour and generosity. This year it’s the 14th Century English proverb from Chaucer ‘Mighty Oaks From Little Acorns Grow’. We’ve put our own spin on it (being the communication pros we are), and crafted a poem inspired by the quote, then turned it into an animation.
As proverbs go, this one is especially poignant, particularly throughout December, which is the time to celebrate the past year and plant your intentions for the new one.
2024 for PrettyGreen has seen many seeds sown (not just the 27,000+ trees we proudly planted).
We bedded into our new offices in London, Glasgow and Manchester, our new podcast series has sprouted, and we’ve had many new team members and wonderful clients join our ecosystem (that one was a stretch).
We’ve also reaped the rewards of what has been sown before, like securing our B Corp certification where taking positive action has always been deeply entwined with the agency’s roots, and still has many years of growth ahead of it.
As we set our intentions for 2025, remember that planting a seed is always a positive, mindful moment. It’s a time for hope and strength. Even those little acorns are hard to crack, something worth remembering when the wind picks up and we start to wobble (which by the way we ALL do).
Shout out to Chris Hilton and Stuart Fry for the beautiful artwork and our very own Influencer Marketing Queen, Petrina Moore, for lending her voice to the animation.
