Things seem to be going somewhere. It turns out that the 2022 agreement was non-binding, but the 2023 agreement was, but 2024 is almost over and still nothing has started! We now understand that the time in between was spent agreeing on the “creative guidelines”, which was actually more fun than it sounds – see below.
