celebrating the work cycle...

It’s no secret that here at Burtt-Jones and Brewer, we’re rather fond of the humble bicycle. So when we were approached by Pixillion (super cool digital production agency in Bristol) to see if we’d like to be part of their latest digital project: The Work Cycle, we bunny hoped at the opportunity.

The Work Cycle, is a celebration of the work cyclist and their work cycles. And this project is to explore how the Work Cycle is beginning to shape the work spaces they journey to. The project is a delicious visual showcase and it’s great to be part of this celebration.

So how does the Work Cycle fit into Burtt-Jones & Brewer’s work space?

As we live in ‘the cloud’ our work cycle is a little different to other companies as we need very special mix of bikes! Seeing that we can work from where ever we choose our Work Cycles are always close to us. Parked up by a bench outside a cafe, lent on a tree if we’re working in the park, or locked up safely only a pedal away. For our designers in the big smoke they might leave their Work Cycles with Boris to look after.

We don’t have a typical Work Cycle experience. The Work Cycle experience for our team is that the bike fits into our working life as a means of release. The flexible hours and nature of our business gives us the freedom to go for a ride when ever we feel like it. The bike is the perfect fix to clear our minds after a long day, to come up with fresh creative ideas when we’re free-wheeling down hill or enjoying the ability to jump on the saddle to nip down to our local pub for a business meeting with one of our suppliers.

The bike is a brilliant metaphor for many of the processes and tools we use to help our clients, it’s honest, dynamic, free. It speaks volumes about how we use the energy of the creative process to power the ideas we generate.

If you love the bike and work in an interesting space then why not be part of this project too?! Pay homage to the bike and submit your cool photos!
