  2. Does a 'meaningless' brand name give you a blank canvas or a mountain to climb? | Voxpop | Design Week designweek.co.uk/voxpop/what-ar… via @design_week
  3. A design classic. And sad for those of us who remember the late 60s - RIP Raleigh Chopper designer Alan Oakley bbc.in/JgeFAQ
  4. New client signed up with us today. What a great way to start a bank holiday weekend. Which way to the bar?
  5. Vodafone to buy C&W Worldwide? If only C&W had built their brand globally rather than creating localised operations. bit.ly/I4KPyY
  6. Instagram founders walk away with a billion dollars after eight weeks of hard work. Why oh why am I in the wrong job? managementtoday.co.uk/news/1126139/

  11. Bloody Auto Correct. Covent Garden!
  12. I've become a bumpkin. Coventry Garden on a Friday evening. Mad

  14. New client today. Hahahaha
  15. Just seen a first: an ad within an ad. Yeo Valley ad used in a 'no buffering' ad by Virgin Media. Clever
  16. Superb Cinema Stunt Promotes The Israeli Alzheimer’s Association [Video] simplyzesty.com/viralvideos/su… via @simplyzesty
  17. Heading to the TFMA #tfm2012 show at Earls Court next week. Hoping to be blinded by marketing science. bit.ly/Zw6HC
  18. Properly interactive, novel use of media. It doesn't get much better than this Mercedes minibus campaign: youtu.be/d9PIgi1CnK0 via @youtube
