  • re: Is the ad industry about to sink without trace?

    Chris clearly had a rollicking time on the ocean wave (well... anchored off Guernsey). But he forgot to answer his question. 'Will the ad industry sink without trace?'

  • Why should anyone launch a 1000 strong house agency?

    So the 'DaVinci' agency commissioned by Dell from WPP is behind schedule and still lacking a CEO. You have to ask yourself why - given the history of in-house agencies - WPP should feel the need to start a monster shop dedicated to Dell, when they already have more than 2000 operating companies in over 100 countries. Also ...

    We have all had to accept restictions on free speech. Nowhere more obviously than in marketingville and adland, where we must observe all manner of limitations on how we promote brands, as well as having to provide consumers with information that may well put them off. Ads used to have to be ‘honest, decent and true’. Now that’s ...
