Throwing it back to our PTW & SIDE London summer party ☀🍹 Given the rain pouring down in London today, we're reminiscing on the sunny times that were had last month amongst our PTW #Localization and SIDE Global #Audio teams. It's always a pleasure bringing our teams together for the studio's annual summer party—with a healthy amount of shenanigans of course 🤸♂️ (spot the Twister match)! #ThrowbackThursday #PTWLondon #SIDELondon #SummerParty
