Cubo cooking up a storm this year with Very Lazy win

Cubo will be cooking up a storm this year after Very Lazy, the collection of top notch essential cooking ingredients, have appointed us to help boost sales in the UK.  The campaign combines the social and PR skills within the group, with the initial eight month programme spanning both traditional and digital media relations.
