Questions have a place to go now

If you have questions about what is going on, there is now a place to take them to. Answers don't always solve problems but at least it will give us an opportunity to become better informed

Festive fun

Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-Bugger! This could possibly be a great present for all those anti-commercial scrudges who see Christmas as a corporate branded experience instead of a family based branded experience!

Cheers to you, 'un-fun' festive anti-Christ.....mas!

Pack a pair of draws why don't you

Instead of trying to pack neatly and make sure you fit all your clothes from your draws into your suit case for your holiday, why not just take a chest of draws with you. And if it gets to strenuous pulling it along! You could always take a second and sit on it to rest!!

They say its on the brain, now its in the papers!

I have just finished reading some interesting articles at the sex industry in Prague; Big Sister an internet based brothel which offers you free sex in exchange for being able to record and stream your experience! Interesting idea, but it seems to go down well looking at their revenue. Although they are being hit hard by the credit crunch, with the reduction of western travellers and their eritic purchases. On the flip side though Durex also published that their condom sales have increased by roughly 10%.

We can (i think) draw from this that a recession is a great thing for western relationships as it reduces mens need to consumer prostitutes and in turn, turns their attention to their own bedroom for entertainment with "The Wife."

Aren't we just weird hey!

Portfolios online

This site has only just been brought to my attention, its good looking, easy to use and well needed for people who want an easy way to publish their work so prospective employees can see it, well done Carbon Made: www.carbonmade.com

Tea bag Genius!

I love it when brands use their initiative and produce something that is innovative, instead of the current trends to do as the next guy does.



These tea bags are genius, so simple, it would definitely make a tea experience more enjoyable

MomSpit

Do you reckon it was a lazy sunday afternoon and the guys that came up with this were sat considering what to call their new product. Then out of the blue, pure genius strikes one of them:

"Oooo why don't we name it after something that sounds true revolting, that will make people buy it!"

How ever the name came about, its right stupid at that! sounds like the sort of thing you would expect to come out of an inbred place like Bridgewater!!

Rant over and out.

Motorola goes car PRomo style

Motorola's new baby which is to be released on 5th December is as flashy as a solid gold potato peeler. The new promo video on the website has a feel of a car showroom show reel without the cheesy voice over or the slightly warm buzz fizz that comes with a launch of a new model at Ford for example!

See what you think

The finger reserve

Once again, I'm going back to my old worry; covering letter. I have jsut heard from DDB finally and unfortunately I did not manage to get past the first stage and was not offered an interview. I think what I need it to boast the quality of my covering letter. Maybe I should go down the generic route and just be bog standard. Obviously offer a little flare with it but just explain all the functions of me and what I can do for them.

Is change good?

Be proud to wear your jeans up high.

Although I might be slightly behind as the views for the new levi's viral is already nearly 5 million (that's insane!) I have only just seen this and thought it was great.



There is a part of me that thinks the inspiration for this came from the Rayban (guy catches glasses on his face) viral that went down a treat a while ago, but who cares, the guys that produced this entertained me and that is what it is all about. Even though the people in the movie wear their jeans as high up their waists as most elderly men!

Interesting piece of Direct Mail

I woke up this morning and to my surprise, an interesting item came through the post from Orange. They have taken the term "talking rubbish" a little too literally and offered up in a container with a piece of their rubbish in it!




The paper was just the usual Network blah but the idea for this piece of direct mail I think is quite a nice one, well done Orange for doing something different, all they need is better copy to go with it and it would be perfect.

Also they really should check their records because if they did, they would see I have just signed an 18 month contract with them, which came with a lovely 8gb ipod touch (For Free!), so sending me new business stuff is slightly wasting their money! Oh well.

Wouldn't it be nice if this Happened every time

If this happened every time I bought a new product, I think I would be poor by now!



Great little brand introduction I think, same it is Samsung and not Nokia

Covering a letter

Cover letters, for me are so hard to conjur i feel that it is in the eyes of the reader that you need to attract yourself to. the only problem when writing one is you don't know whos going to be reading it.
I found myself perplexed when applying for the DDB Graduate scheme, should i be generic and write about what I have done and how I can contribute to the agency. No! I decided a better grasp on me was to document my thoughts and see that they thought.

This is how I visualized it after writing, and think I know why I didn't get in!




There is trying to be interesting and different and then there is just producing random useless content, I did the latter

At least I have learned something from this

The dedicated sales team

When producing our strategy and execution for our Creative Campaign unit, Luke, Wilf and myself came up with the idea of show consumers the dedication on a VW sales team, this is what the out come looks like:



Great fun to shoot and edit!

I am Sunflower

This was the name i would have preferred for my first blogsite. who coined the term would be a piece of knowledge i would rather like to know. Anyone know who has it?

We live in a time where a blog is created more frequently than i go to the toilet, should i start to go to the toilet more?
