Every day brings with it a fresh set of new challenges for the staff at one small but highly ambitious London advertising agency.

The five-man team - managing director Bob, office girl Brenda, and creatives Claire, Brian and Jonathan - pull more than their weight as they deliver campaigns for everything from chocolate bars to mattresses, but none comes without a fair share of hassle!

Claire in particular has a clear creative flair and is the company's leading asset, but husband and colleague Brian is certainly no daft cookie either (even if he regularly comes a cropper in their domestic disputes). Jonathan, meanwhile, is somewhat more earthy and exuberant a member of the team, regularly thinking far outside the box.

As Bob attempts to gain the company ever larger accounts, the team must all pitch in a hand to make sure their work is an undeniable success.
