Why so many deals stall.

A lack of familiarity across the buying group, coupled with defensive decision making:

Couldn't love this quote any more:

β€œBetween the stimulus and the response there is a space”.

The quote is by Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, author, neurologist, and the founder of logotherapy, a form of psychotherapy centred on finding meaning in life.

A Christmas wish for 2025: Media, Creative and Attention join forces To wrap 2024, I want to share what I’ve learned from Mike Follett, Karen Nelson-Field, and Rory Sutherland about the elusive art of attention in advertising. Advertising Effectiveness Needs Two Things...

Santa avoiding attention on Christmas Eve is a feature, but for your advertising, it’s bug.

I feel you! I bought a Kobo reader, which is like a big screen Kindle, and save articles using Pocket. Less glare, big screen, and clear formatting. Game changer! :-)

Hypothetical question re Omnicom acquiring IPG; If a media owner is on the PSL for one agency group, but not the other, does the media owner now have:

1 - Both groups?
2 - Neither group?
3 - Something else?

At 1-3 down, in the dark, freezing, driving rain and blustery conditions, I was questioning my life choices yesterday.

Then Sutton clicked into gear, drew 3-3, playing some lovely attacking football, and won on penalties.

Never in doubt! 🀣
