How Half Life changed gaming Do agencies need account handlers? Interesting debate on Brand Republic. (Thanks to Carrie). My favourite response to the debate premise: Max old chap, silly triangles and re-writing the brief is planning, making sure your ad goes out on time is account management. If you think the assortment of nutcases andContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 19.03.08”

Stats and nuggets on search & myspace Stats and examples on social media marketing Even Hugo Boss are getting into the music scene but at least they’re letting you upload your tracks with a chance to win some MTV thing.

duran duran 2.0 2.0
Re-mix Duran Duran’s latest tune. Tie in with Apple Garage Band. Not got an apple? Er, never mind. You can still watch Simon Le Bon’s ever so creepy 12 second promo video on the site.

Unsigned band, The Bribes, have just mildly annoyed about 4,000 Facebook members. Trading on the tirade of abuse that 2012 logo is getting, the band set up a fake facebook group. And then in a dastardly turn akin to the butler in Scooby Doo removing his mask, revealed that it was a ploy forContinueContinue reading “fakebook – it’s only rock ‘n’ roll”
robbie williams’ shorts
I finally got round to watching the TV special recently after it had been on our Sky+ box for a while and was impressed by how up and coming directors had made excellent short films inspired by the new Rudebox album. Even more impressive are the videos created by regular folks on the competitionContinueContinue reading “robbie williams’ shorts”
