Great initiative from EA to respond to a fan vid about a ‘glitch’ in their Tiger Woods game. This is truly genius marketing.

Never Wait

Never Wait

Found this just round the corner from my flat. Totally agree with whoever wrote it - do it now, ask for forgiveness later…

Iain Tait’s lovely presentation about Radiohead. Brilliant demonstration of where a planner’s craft skills should lie - making information (e.g. a brief) engaging…

A nice satirical take on the way technology has fundamentally changed the business model.

I’ve just finished Seth Godin’s Meatball Sundae which is an extremely clear and concise explanation of why it’s no good just adding ‘cool’ new tools - instead, we need to reinvent from the bottom up. This is the 3rd Industrial Revolution, after all…

Finally saw these guys at Massive Attack’s Meltdown. Such great music. Die visuals rock too.
Charming.

Antoine The Dolphin

I’m taking part in Orange’s internet ballon race, Baloonacy, because I think it’s a brilliant idea for making heroes of the tariff animals. And it should be a laugh.

I’ve also submitted the blog to be one of the sites in the race.

I would add the funky widget to the blog but it doesn’t support Tumblr :(

Please give Antoine, my dolphin, a cheer if you see him though..

Back with a chuckle

Haven’t posted for a while but got some laughs for you.

Tim has flagged up this new Oz comedy, Summer Heights High. Similar mockumentary format to The Office, Spinal Tap etc. but set in a school in Melbourne.

The three main characters (Jonah - affable bully; Mr. G - uber camp drama teacher; Ja’mie King - spoilt & arrogant airhead) are played by Chris Lilley.

Could be great by the looks of things:

Jonah

Mr. G

Ja’mie

Plum content

Work Club have created some really nice content for Plum baby food.

It’s a series of online videos for parents to watch with their babies.

The agency were advised by a child psychologist on the content and there are various tips which pop up during each film that explain to parents how they can make the experience even more interactive for their babies.

Useful, entertaining and spot on brand.

Fascinating look at 39 companies that may well change the world (or their industry) in the near future. Pharmaceutical start-ups are particularly well represented.
