http://jonathanfromspotifyruinedyourplaylist.com/ is my favourite website of today. If you don’t know Jonathan from Spotify, he’s the guy who interrupts your listening pleasure with his little adlets.
I’m sure he was forced to do it, so I’m not confident that we should all be picking on him. However, what I love about this site is that I [...]
Following up on from this apologetic, defensive, whiny bitch, blah blah advertising post. I’ve decided to change my view of the world. I’ve decided to stop being such a big twat about it and move along.
It doesn’t matter what you’re called, what kind of agency you’re from, or any of that crap. It’s about what [...]
I really don’t want to have to write this post. But when even the Cyber Lions Jury Chairman is posting things like this, what’s a guy to do ;-)
There are traditional agencies (although they’re the least traditional of the traditional agencies obviously) who are doing incredibly well in awards like Cannes. But let’s not forget [...]
I enjoyed my workshop in Cannes – it was all about smart, simple, social ideas. I wrote about it here. Thanks to everyone who helped to create chatter around it. Not sure if that’s what did it, but the room was totally full, which was great.
The big twist was that my ’special guest’ was my [...]
Poor Dave has had all his camera stuff and a laptop nicked. This is the man who did it. He’s trying to see if the photos might mean anything to anyone. And he’s looking to get the information circulated online, in a ‘here comes everybody‘ kind of a way. So I’m helping.
I’m in Cannes. Sitting in the belly of the advertising beast. There are some great people here. And some terrible people too. There’s some great stuff going on, and some horrific things too.
Anyway I’m doing a workshop tomorrow between 2 and 4 about the power of small, simple, single-minded ideas online. I think it might [...]
The DJ History guys are publishing a book of photos from raves back in ‘89.
Very special photos. Featuring very special people. Pre-order it now.
I had the hair, but I wasn’t there.
You know that email that always goes round that says “does anyone have a Nokia charger”? Even at the world’s most prestigious advertising festival same shit still happens.
Here’s me delivering aforementioned Nokia charger. In a style that feels reminiscent of first person shooter. Maybe Nokia should do a game called ‘charger rescue’? It’d be a [...]
There’s something about this short film ‘Last Day Dream’ that got me ‘right there’. Not there! The still of the video is totally misleading. Via scene360.
Chris Milk who made the video is also responsible for this absolutely insanely brilliant video for Gnarls Barkley:
I was joking with Katie at Poke the other day about how a big bowler hat would make an ideal cycling helmet. Well she’s just mailed me to say that it’s not just a silly idea, it’s a reality!
Well done chaps at Bobbin Bicycles (although at £195 I might not be getting one just yet). [...]
