In this episode we discuss Nike's bold play with Colin K, our take on it, and some of the intricacies around it. Also, we discuss agency birthday celebrations which we both dislike but decide we're grumpy bastards and change our mind. First time for everything.
In this episode we discuss whether advertising is still cool, whether it was ever cool, and Manners mocks Razz's idea for an agency. We also discuss the glorious Friday pub lunch, and the people who selfishly make it difficult.
In this episode, we talk about the mystical brand purpose. What it is, does it work, why have we murdered it, etc. And, of course, we touch on social purpose as a result. Manners also reveals his distaste for smelly food, and we talk about the awful kitchen advice of 'leave it how you found it'.
In this episode we discuss the insanity that is the agency pitch process. Why do we do it to ourselves? What are the common themes? And if anybody was stupid enough to give us power, how would we do it? We also discuss the love it/hate it relationships with all staff email, and Manners shares his three steps for success when sending a comedy one.
