Valencia. The new Cannes?

This weekend Robert's judging at the Valencia Media festival. It is amazing how this festival has arrived out of nowhere, and now how big it is.  The world's media buyers, planners, media owners, and some pretty major clients have gathered to discuss the present, and to carve up the future. Robert's in good company. Chuck Porter's come to speak. But apart from that no one else from above the line ad land. Pity. Lord Puttnam gives a truly scary speech at dinner about sustainability and adland's responsibility to embrace the cause. Otherwise we'll all be making like dinosaurs.  

Garry and Robert take their hats off to Richard Huntingdon, Adliterate blog guru and head of planning at Saatchi. We've just heard Richard has landed the job of co-hosting the new tv ad show, The Gruen Transfer with Paris Hilton. Sorry. Not Paris Hilton, James Hilton from AKQA. Whatever, Richard is one of the best and most amusing presenters in adland. Can't wait to see the show.

 

Garry and Robert would like to point out that they are also available for tv appearances etc. With or without Paris Hilton.   hello@campbelllacebeta.com

 

And speaking of tv, here's some ads we did earlier THE HISTORY OF CAMPBELL LACE (BETA)

Its is no surprise that most above the line agencies were poorly represented at this event. Many have yet to realise that average/crap creative work has been propped up by the mass reach of media in the past, now a rapidly eroding situation. The ice age for dinosaurs. Well, robert and Gary, i think your timing is a brilliant to start up a lean agency on a mission and desire to prove what you can do to make a difference. Good luck, your talent and fierce competition is in no doubt.Yet you now hold the pilot light of enterprise and that bravery is a matter of public personal passion exposed to inspire to those who follow you. Recession is the time for chuzpah, PHD opened its doors on the first day of the last recession. It was a fantastic coincidence for us, and i wish that blessing for you too. Advertising is far from dead but needs more energy from professionals like you to keep the industry fresh and filled with hope. xxx

sorry about the rubbish grammar, typos and poorly crafted sentences. I am an author I'm told but clearly

bereft of an editor at the moment.
