Not happy Mother’s Day. Creative Director, Suhana Gordhan explains exactly why. AI may have written this but there’s no excusing the whole actual client who signed it off.

How can @theonion.com possibly compete? This is retweeted by The White House’s official page. These are not serious people.

Roadblock in Madikwe. Had to take the long way round so we could get to the airport. Male elephant in musth ain’t for messing with. This clip is us reversing.

Yes. As some say, it’s not exactly an equal relationship but this is the pot and the kettle.

This could actually work out quite well for us. Could they also take the podbros and musicians with cat hits?

Someone on TikTok (Dr Feelgood, can’t find him again) just said - go to your Facebook and look at your profile picture. Then go to your TikTok profile and look at your picture. Is this the “greatest” teaser campaign of some sort of launch, ever? This might be my out, if it is.

In one of my agency-client interventions, a Creative Director told me he felt sick on a Sunday night, knowing he had to work on this particular client’s brand. His “creative tap”was closed before he even opened a brief. Both agency & client leadership should have addressed the issues way sooner.

I collected a few voices from the water cooler. Not complete and a few oddities automatically added by 🦋 but quite a number of voices I’ve enjoyed over the years. They haven’t all migrated here yet but a good few are here.

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.
