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

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! 🤣

Probably never get to say this again but … Sutton beat Spurs 3-0 last night!

(Ok, Spurs U21s, but it still totally counts!)

Some TV ads stay with you forever.

This is a still from a 1989 commercial to advertise milk - if you are old enough, you know the next line, right?

Seeing rumours that this is the new car from Jaguar.

I added Pink Panther, because it’s all I could see anyway!

Boom! Could have easily been 5-0 as well. Another great performance from the Reds!

They say that when you work from home, you miss out on so much.

It’s true. Today, I get to play sheep number 234,456 in the Waterloo nativity.

Interesting to read in Digiday that all six of the agency holding companies have either acquired or developed influencer marketing capabilities in-house.

Essentially, people get more attention than brands:

I know this is a serious post, so please excuse my light-hearted entrance, but I couldn't help think that this might have been their motivation?
