“…part of me wants to meet Mary Wells Lawrence (her picture graces the desktop of my computer) and part of me is terrified that she’d eat me for lunch.” Love this entire piece Martin ❤️👏🏼

Thank you Steve, appreciate your ears :)
ps. Couldn’t agree more re The Muppets

I post this without fear or favour:

The Muppet Movie (1979) is as charming and entertaining a film as almost any. Comedy, romance, pathos, comedian bears driving taxi cabs.

Please share this far and wide, gang

I really enjoyed talking to Giles for the Call to Action podcast about writing and also the recent piece I wrote about burnout and becoming a demotivational speaker (we kind of expanded on all that quite a bit)

Patrick Freyne is here to save us from a Productive life A proper marketing agency. Who practice what we preach. Not like the others. Creatively Memorable & Boringly Effective™ since 2009.

Imagine an aggressively-filtered Instagram photo of a gym wall mural that’s basically just the words 'Believe. Achieve. Receive' painted in some gloopy old Huel. Well, this week's CTA episode is the exact opposite of that, thanks to our guest @patrickfreyne.bsky.social

Seig heil Tesla Yes, you did see what you think you saw. Here's an idea, let's call a Nazi salute a Nazi salute.

NEW: Why not calling a Nazi salute a Nazi salute puts us in a whole new place of danger. We have to call spades spades or what else is there?

At the urgent care, nurse looks at my chart: "Amanda Knox...too bad that other one ruined your name."

"I am that other one," I said.

I may make this into a banner for my office.

Just remembered that The Muppet Show theme song contains the line “it’s time to put on makeup” and it makes me wonder what they look like without it, maybe they look normal

A large Sainsbury’s Store Front with the signs for the other shops laid out underneath. They are Argos Habitat Tu. sounds a bit Latin dunnit. lol eh The fact they left out Specsavers leads me to think they knew what they were doing, and I’m probably just explaining their own joke to them

Oooh, look at Sainsbury’s, with their fancy new Latin motto like they’re bleedin hogwarts

Grow up

“Endearingly angry” is my spirit animal. Love this review. Fair in its criticism too. Ish ;) Thanks Martin.

How Brands Blow There’s a challenge right out of the blocks when you decide to write a book about advertising: Do you make it serious or do you make it entertaining? If you choose the former – in a desperate attem…

Ryan Wallman and Giles Edwards have somehow managed to write a book about advertising that is both serious and entertaining. No, really. Check out our review here: the-agency-review.com/how-brands-b... #advertising #marketing #business @Giles_Edwards @dr_draper

Gonna borrow this phrase next time “appropriate and necessary”

Thanks Auntie G x
ps. Cheers from us both in Perth!

An absolute classic from @dr-draper.bsky.social and @gilesedwards.bsky.social book How Brands Blow. There’s a gut punch and a wry chortle on every page.

A picture of 2121 Avenue of the Stars in Los Angeles, the skyscraper formerly known as FOX Plaza, which served as "Nakatomi Tower" in the movie DIE HARD.

Remember the victims of the Nakatomi Plaza attack, 36 years ago today.

This is for all those BMW drivers with BMW in their number plate. Everyone else can scroll on.

Terms and conditions always apply Mario, you know this

Also, if you say “G’day” in front a mirror 3 times a man in a mullet appears and shoves a shrimp up your barbie.

Yes thanks. Just. But, we had a false dawn and mother in law has been struck down with a bad migraine so we’re still not a fully fit team 🤦 but @dr-draper.bsky.social has just arrived in town so maybe he can remedy us all :)

I’ll see your 15, and raise you 22 to Sydney (for a few days) and then 5 to Perth. With no northern lights. 🤦

Pretty much. #COYS #THFC

YouTube video by Cookin Soul MF DOOM x Cookin Soul - DOOM XMAS (full tape)

A reminder that MF DOOM has a Christmas album. Sort of.

Cookin Soul beats with a mix of old DOOM accapellas and his Adult Swim Xmas idents. One of my faves.

Ha! Speaking of small things that are surprisingly bad for your health ;) nice one pal

Apparently you can die before you even realise the tiny tosspot has got you. This map springs to mind…

Rumours that Daniel Levy is working on 50 Cent dropping to 49 Cent are as yet unconfirmed.
