Projects
You could say...
...Social is multidimensional. It goes way beyond the apps that you have on your phone. So before you assume that 'that Truffle lot just manage social media channels for brands', think again. We're a curious bunch and we revel in all the wonderful and often obscure goings on within the social media hemisphere. And so, amidst the ideating, optimising and posting that we do day-to-day, we find our balance by developing other holistic and abstract projects that constantly ignite our bones.
Soho has been Truffle's home, geographically and spiritually, for a decade. It inspires us every day. The legends around every corner, the connection to an incredible past, and the seeds being sown for a bright future.
The Soho Society profiles the legends, trendsetters and creators that live in London's melting pot of creativity. Each one with a unique experience of the area, and their own story to tell.
"It was Scotland Yard.
And they wanted to talk."

"The penny dropped and I turn to my mate, 'we better f***ing leg it.'"
SOHO George
​
I was about 20 years old, I was with my friends at a place down Wardour Street without any money and poncing off one cigarette between the three of us.
​
This guy approached us, he was a Dick Tracy lookalike and he asked us if we wanted some free spins on the arcade machine. So I’m thinking 'yeah, okay' and there I go, bang, bang, bang on the fruit machine, I was a bit of a pinball wizard too.
Then a car pulls up outside with two big fellas in the back and Dick Tracy comes back over and asks us where we live, he said they'll give us a lift.
The penny dropped and I turn to my mate, 'we better f***ing leg it.' We nipped out the side door and legged it down the street. Next minute, the Dick Tracy fella is yelling 'oi, where the f***ing hell you lot going.'
We went back a week later and the guy with the keys to the arcade machines said 'you lot know who that was last week, don’t you? The f***ing Kray Twins.'
But all I’m thinking about is how we ponced two fags and a dozen goes on the machines from their pimp.”

“I was only 23 when I moved into my studio on Poland Street. The day I arrived I realised I was next to Phonica Records and they were blaring house music out the shop and I thought ‘yep… I’m gonna like it here.’
So, I slapped my overalls on, set up my studio and began to paint. When I got a bit peckish, I nipped out to grab a bite to eat.
​
Within seconds, I ran into Jeremy Deller, my favourite artist. The same guy I’ve written essay-on-essay about and read all the books and articles on.
I’m shell shocked, I shake his hand and soon realise my hand is still smeared with wet, purple paint. And just like that, I left my stamp on Jeremy Deller.”
