Being a digital creative director in London automatically lent itself to easy subjects; slagging off ad agencies, slagging off other digital agencies, totally ignoring DM agencies - the usual stuff. But now that I am working for an anomaly it's all rather different. I think I'll spare you the whole 'Englishman in New York' routine because that's been done before, by much more talented people than myself.
For the next few weeks I think I'll just sit back for a bit and suck it all in and then get stuck in.
The one thing that has struck me so far is that watching TV over here, it's really hard to work out if ads are taking the p*** or not. Actually you then realise that they are mostly not and what any sane person would regard as a complete load of utter nonsense is actually a bona fide product promotion. In that vein I leave you with a link for an interesting piece of office furniture that someone sent round the other day.

For those of you who used to the read the blog when I was in London, please stay in touch it was always nice to hear from you.
More soon.
