Heather is here! An exclusive report from the Neuland® headquarters.

Heather Lettering Martinez visited the Neuland® headquarters. What exactly the Neuland team planned with her there is still top secret, but a few paparazzi managed to leak some secret photos to us from good hiding places.

You don't know Heather Lettering Martinez yet? For us, she's THE lettering queen. Look, here she shows you how to hand letter with our markers.

At the Neuland® Headquarters

The fact is, there is a real video set. Real video professionals are on site; Neuland Creatives have prepared everything perfectly.

Jaro, the world's most charming office dog, gave the video set a thorough sniff beforehand. We think that has something to do with marker safety. In any case, he'll get a reward from Stef for it. He'll keep quiet, that much is certain.

In a corner of the room, we find this flipchart. Clearly Heather's lettering. As we're about to sneak a picture, Heather surprises us and points out that it's just a practice chart. She's been experimenting with something, but can't tell us much more about it yet. We think it turned out great, but we take a picture anyway. If only to show you this chic lettering style. All the letters are there, from A to Z, and even an ampersand. Fantastic.

In the other corner of the room, we find this toolboard where the markers aren't just stored, but displayed. We're certainly not exaggerating when we say that the markers aren't just displayed here, but rather staged. Look, the microfiber cleaning cloth is perfectly arranged. Those two steel magnets are definitely not there by chance. You can hang up to 7 kg on them. So, something really big will definitely be hanging here.
Among them are the two flowerpots. Now we're getting curious. Well, if flowerpots are used, it always has a purpose and is an indication of perfect staging, if you ask me.

Wow! The cool new ChalkOnes come in all colors! I'm sure they'll appear in a video sometime. But that's just our vague guess.

Wow! The saddlebag is coming in handy too. The new ChalkOnes look fantastic in the grey felt.

Ha! Good thing it's written down again. With all these secrets, one could really go crazy.

Wow, on the other side of the work surface , Heather is drawing an entire forest. A backdrop? We'd love to know more. Wouldn't you?

Even more markers are presented here. If we didn't know better, we might think we were in some kind of "marker wonderland." All just speculation, of course. We really have no idea. But this presentation is fantastic.

Suddenly, this piece of paper lies on the floor in front of us. Another fantastic piece of lettering by Heather. It doesn't seem to be finished yet, but we're slowly getting the feeling that we're witnessing something truly great.

On another V3 wall, an elegant BagUp suddenly appears. Very chic. An old pocket watch dangles from the side…

The video crew takes their positions, we get a glimpse of the script, and the first scene is filmed. That's also the moment we're spotted and kicked out. Nobody wants to risk anything leaking out. Shhh! Stay tuned, we will too!

The next day we try again

We can't learn much on this day, because Heather is giving an internal lettering workshop for the newcomers.

Everyone here at the start is already very excited about what awaits them. Wow, the seat is reserved for left-handers. Something we definitely need to keep track of. I wonder what's in the bag?

During our lunch break, we saw our chance, but we were too late again. All the lettering was carefully stowed away. Those Neuländer are really great at keeping secrets.

Finally, an official picture!

“We had a very nice brainstorming session together!”, Verena, Heather and Guido announced happily.

Oh? We don't want to say anything about the results yet, but we should definitely stay on top of it.
We would surely find out soon.
