Great pharmaceutical ads from yesteryear

Visited this site after a twitter from @si.

Scamp has scampered off

Sad day today as one of my favourite bloggers has decided to hang up his opinions to concentrate on writing a book. Good luck with it Simon.

Knuckleheads And Geniuses

Just read this from The Ad Contrarian. More or less sums up why I love and hate this job in equal measure. Well, maybe the love bit wins out. One thing, it's never dull.

Google Earth, Flickr and Twitter combine to show the world the smallest park in the UK

Prince's Park in Burntwood (round the corner from where I live) is tiny - three trees and a bench to be exact. Not very interesting I know. But I posted some pics on flickr and Google Sightseeing picked up on it. Hey presto, one tweet from them and views of the park rocket.

Boone Oakley

Steve found this and although it's not really in our nature to promote another agency, this is worth us breaking with protocol. Brilliant, just brilliant. Word of warning: if you're a male Marketing Director who looks like an egg, there's some disturbing scenes.

Don't have a fling with BING

Well, Microsoft have launched their rival to the mighty Google: BING (Because It's Not Google). Well, knowing that we come No.1 in the global search term for our agency name "Unsuitable" I thought I'd try out BING. Well, the results were disappointing to say the least. We didn't feature on the first 100 pages. So, although we should all welcome the millions of dollars that Microsoft are going to throw at this, I, for the time being, am sticking with Google.

Another quality furniture store ad from our friends over the pond.
