Comment: "Thanks for all the great suggestions. I went with Bernhard's because, as he points out, it was something a customer said about them. The text is from a website, don't know if the target audience is international, US or UK so can't answer you question Francis, sorry!"

Awww, ..aren't we cute?
What this agency states here isn't very flattering. Hopefully the prospective client has a good sense of humor.. :-))

: yeah, I suppose the direct translation would be 'everybody's a sucker for a baby' (in US vernacular, and with the pun optional)

Maybe they try to prove that they actually have formal training in arts or advertising and need to show off a technical term? ;-) I do not envy Lorna for this job. Thanks, Ken! http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindchenschema

A baby story always draws attention
Als Idee
Schema ist zwar nicht im wörtlichem Sinne "story", aber das ist was der Kunde damit gemeint hat.
Anstatt "baby story", würde auch sogar "baby face" passen. Obwohl Erwachsene auch ein "baby face" haben können.
Bin mir sicher, es werden noch viekle Vorschläge folgen. :-)

The baby ploy never fails or Babies always get to 'em
I am not sure these are the best choices available, but I like 'em both. Actually I like the second one best

From the cradle to the brave/ The cradle of communications/ Creative communications, not baby-talk.
I think the German's pretty uninspired and meaningless.
The task here is to find some kind of phrase that combines the kiddie pictures with teamwork and/or a communications company.
Other ideas:
- Growing as a team
- Simply irresistible
- How about these baby boomers?
- Creative communications? Yes. Child's play? No.
More context, please!

Everybody loves babies!
Why not simply use this? Animals and babies are alwyas used in advertising because people love them. Politicians are always kissing babies, maybe the straight forward approach here is best.
