Evan! Well done, mate.

Good move, Frannie. At last and Long overdue.
You'll be working with the best, is the least you deserve.

All love, D.

One's hiring. One's firing.

Well done to all. That's the shop to work at in Melbs I hear.

Where did the 'Youth Day at the Youth' story go? Presume it got pulled from orders from above! The Pope? Or even higher?

Maybe some bigwig realised that Sanitarium might not be pleased with them making jesus - kiddie fiddler jokes

Sums up the chaos of that place. It really, really does.

7:18, I don't know where it has gone, I don't really care..

My question to you is ....do you have a life?

A life that doesn't include checking the blog every 15 minutes.

Bring it in tight 7:18.....here's a word you need to know.........."girlfriend"!

Choice drawing bro!

RE: Youth Day.

I didn't get chance to comment on the appalling campaign showcased by BWM, I was too busy doing real ads.
Some bright spark within the agency realised the irreparable damage it would have to an agency that was once held in high esteem for creativity /planning, and it was removed promptly by the looks of things.
I was choked to see such SENIOR creatives within the advertising fraternity put their names to this crap. Names I once looked up to.
I would suggest that those once great names in the Australian ad industry go back to AWARD school and learn about the power of Advertising, and If that's to hard, go back home and learn about respect for others, and manners.

Idiots.

Evo farts and then walks away... it's pretty funny unless you're left standing there wondering who farted.

Well done bastard!

Here's how well Patts Melbourne do a new staff anouncement. Typical. But then they continue to set standards.

BWMorons

It's time to grow up BWM.

I thinks 'Belgios' have shot themselves in the foot..... No, Crucified themselves.
You better get the pr agency on this one.

God there are some wowsers on this blog. I've got a job for you all this weekend, go out and see if you can find a sense of humour, it'll do you the world of good.

Good hires Coulson, they will deliver.

Since Coulson, Patts Melb have done bloody well without all their super stars.

It's nice to see he's keeping the young & hungry policy going.

Good people who work hard will always beat big names who used to work hard. Most large agencies are just too scared to trust in talent that doesn't come with a big ego & price tag.

Is this the new fab four?

Don't worry. The BWM stuff will be back on Sunday

In total contrast to the BMW creatives, we'll probably next hear about these guys when they win an award for a real piece of work.

A lesson to BMW... Patts-Melb sit on top & they don't scam, good young people want to work there.

It's a formula that works, but hardly any high profile agencies use it. I guess the short cut is always too tempting.

Lynchy.

Please can you run a link to this story:
http://www.brandrepublic.com/Discipline/Advertising/News/832435/TBWA-Worldwide-disowns-China-human-rights-ads/

TBWA did a scam ad for Amnesty. Amnesty backed away from it. TBWA ran it and entered it in Cannes. It won bronze, catching the attention of the chinese who have called for a boycott of TBWA. TBWA have now disowned the ad (blaming a single creative). A salutary lesson for BWM and us all?

Sounds like their are a few people walking round with their heads up their arses.
If you can't have a laugh in Ad land fuck off and do retail or something boring where the only thing offensive is the size of the price.
For the new Patts guys all the best.
For the BWM guys, who in part pioneered Advertising at OMON and are just having a laugh, Rock on.
For the rest of you tight arse Admen taking life to seriously. loosen up or fuck off.

The illustration flatters you Evo.

I think you mean BWM.

Idiot.

Hi Vanilla,

Congratulations! Wish you all the best. Too bad I'm not there to buy a beer to celebrate.

J

Congratsulations Vanilla!!!
That is super awesome!!

you're a star

joel

The BWM work made me smile. I think that was all it was meant to do. Stop taking things so seriously. Too many of you sound like outraged members of the Womens Institute. Lighten up.

11.55 you're obviously talking to the boys at BWM - they're the ones that took it off....

Well done Franny and Vanilla!
Best of luck ladies!

WTF re BWM????
Patts Melb just rolls on...uphill..defying gravity.
Coulson proving the point again, and again, and again......

patts melb is good.

but...uh... this is just a press release, you know.

Vanilla, well done lady! Here's to the school of lateral thought! You rock.

Vanilla you little superstar. They are very lucky to have you

Good move Franny. Your old shop it is seriously starting to stink.

What do you mean 9:10am? I thought that 'Makeshift Train' for Connex was a work of genius! Showing people what a train actually does (carry people, no less) is just a brilliant lateral idea to advertise a train company. Wow.

'Who in part pioneered advertising at Omon'.

9:48 - That has to be the quote of the century.

Vanilla, your career will be a complete saga for all of us to follow!
