Oh dear... agency sacked

[headvoid]

When you say you are shooting an advert on a mobile phone, you kind of have to do it for real...

If you don't - the first thing you check is FUCKIN REFLECTIONS! honestly, that is a bit stupid. I can't see how it will be an intentional "buzz" thing really.

I have another recent story to tell about the Juan Sheet campaign for plenty as well. Very amusing.

ha... that is stupid.

John Lewis story!?

(You promised a John Lewis story before Christmas. Or I tried to hassle you into promising it anyway.)

I'm still waiting to hear about Amanda Redman storming off the filming of a Wotsits commercial after discovering that she'd be handling inedible plastic replicas while Gary Linneker was being entrusted with genuine corn based cheese flavoured snacks.

That Linekar!

I was in an agency during the casting of this advert:

I was with a colleague and we were saying to each other "do they know it sounds like one shit?" he said "I'm sure they do, it must be some kind of internet buzz thing"

"intentional internet buzz thing" is now a byword for "we fucked up a bit, can we pass it off as buzz?"

That must be what they call Bounty over there.

It reminds me of the famous highly reflective tea kettle a seller took a photo of... while in the nude.

Or this one:

Naked photographers never learn do they?

I like how the new Go Compare adverts are actually even more annoying than the originals.

They work hard at their trade.

Eventually people will be employed to dress like him and actually go round knocking on doors during commercial breaks, giving you your own personal annoying advert.

I love these little insights into the muddled world of advertising.

It's this kind of disorganisation that means practically every product is endorsed by the voice of Benedict Cumberbatch or Patrick Stewart, to the point where you can't tell what an advert is for until the logo comes up. Could be Money Supermarket, could be Toilet Duck; could be Hiscox, could be Jaguar, could be Pimms.

I hate that gin advert with Life On Mars guy and Morgause.
