The brand had been with the agency for years. For advertising, they were doing 6-inch doubles in D.I.Y mags featuring broken teapots and cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221;It would be good if we could do something more exciting than these&#8221; Potter said to French.<br>&#8221; Like what?\u201d French replied.<br>&#8221;Maybe we could stick something to a poster\u2026<br>Bingo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hard bit was finding the right poster site and keeping it secret for the next six months till it appeared on Cromwell Road, London W4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 48 sheet poster ran only for one week.
