4.34pm – Naked Communications account executive Tim Leathart will be competing in the 4 x 100 metre sprint relay in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow over August 1 and 2. The Naked Team has wished him all the best. Nothing says “success” like an award. Naked CEO Carl Ratcliff said: “We’ve done the Effies. Everyone is all over Cannes, we want something on the real world stage. We had a race in the office and Tim’s our fastest so we’ve snuck him into the Commonwealth Games in hopes of winning some real silverware.”
