I'll do it!

Bloody oath!!! Fishy, put Pato and Greenie in there, mate. They'll deliver, no worries.

:D

Patrick Lennox is the man for the job. He and Ben Green have helped to raise the bar at The Palace Melbourne in the last couple of years. They're fucking great and will continue to deliver.

An anonymous fan.

All the best out there Tony.

You gave us the time of day a couple of years back, and in this industry that's something to be appreciated.

Good luck.

WPP'd

good luck pat and ben with getting the job. Judging by your comments, you obviously want it real bad.

I hope Tony stays in Melbourne,
We need more CD's of his calibre. Top bloke and one of the nicest CD's I've met.

D.

Another agency without much of a story to tell. If it shut up shop tomorrow the world wouldn't miss it. That's not a dig at the departing CD, it's just a statement of fact. We talk about differentiation and brands etc. etc., but we don't apply it ourselves. CP had a brand 20 years ago. What does it stand for now? It's just another door designed to accommodate conflicts of interest within holding companies.

If one reads the release fully it stetes a new cd already appointed so they will need more than luck

Good luck Tony. As for the team...what a joke everyone knows one of them is the only talent in that team and he's just carrying Sir Scamalot.

All reports suggest, a "world class replacement", is just what the palace melbourne needs. Hopefully all the existing creatives enjoy working under him..... or her?

7:53. It's more like the Palace needs Pat and Ben. Securing those two guys would be my first Target (pun intended). Go the lennox!!!

n
Cuz

Munted.

It wasn't Pat and Ben that commented. It was me.

Good Luck, Tony! He is one of the nicest, most creative, straight shooting blokes in the industry. He deserves the absolute best.
As for the Palace, some alleged creatives might be looking for a job soon.

Campaign Palace - the name sounds like a cheap retail store like 'funiture warehouse' or 'bed kingdom'

If they are to do anything good they need to change that awful name.

ohmygod. CUZ commented! Lynchy, you've been touched by the hand of GOD!!!!!

How old are you 4.53? 12?

Big hands.

Lets hope they bring in a serious dude with international experience. Apart from Tony the Palace is a pleasant bunch of midweightsville.

Fuck me,
Cuz eh?
Touched by the hand of god eh?

Well, look, he's done a couple of very nice ads I must admit, but . . .

Not exactly John Webster, Bill Bernbach, David Abbott, Neil French, John Hegarty etc is he?

This isn't meant to knock Cuz, it's meant to say, let's get a sense of proportion eh?

Well, well, after all these years, the eponymous Fruit Palace is probably in a healthier state than the campaign palace. Must be all that fruit.

6.17pm - big hands, had to go to archive to refresh. tha's what lennox and green picked up all their awards on last year. did anyone actually see it?

Big hands? Big scam.

Get outta there P, you've always said your talents are wasted at The Palace - sounds like you might be right. AK.

How many so-called award-winning senior creatives have serious brand-building campaigns behind them as opposed to one-off scam work?

7.33, I think you missed the sarcastic tone of 5.32's comment.

I think we all know that the real hands of God were severed a couple of years ago and used in that Target ambient stunt. Well worth it though.

Could Bill Bernbach reduce grown women to tears with a ball-busting power-stance?

Does Neil French own a blue leather suit with flames on the arms and legs?

Did David Abbott ever think to combine a stir-fry with mashed potato?

Did John Hegarty once give a reach-around to a baby elephant?*

Didn't fucking think so.

Cuz 4, Advertising Legends 0.

*actually, I think that was Jim.

9.39, if you want to worship those guys, go and do it in your bedroom with the door locked. It's just pathetic to share it with us. You obviously have no sense of self worth.

Good luck Tony you are a classy bloke with amazing talent. Any agency would be lucky to have you.

9:39 are you on ice? Stop you ranting and get back to your brochures boy. By the way creatives are not rock stars we just flog dog food.

Yes, Tony is a top bloke and what this blog was to be about? Not random self praises for a few want2b's

Ha, Ha, Ha, what a muppet 10:40. Back to your DM letterhead you sonso.

Congrats Tony on some fab work at the Palace over the years, I am sure you will go onto bigger and better things. There are some very creepy weird people on this blog making creepy weird comments

3.05pm / 9.39am, let it go dude. The only guy working on a DM letterhead is you.

Otherwise you wouldn't be living vicariously through the success of other creatives.

And can you get on with it, I need to brief you on a double sided DL brochure.

MONTY !!!

What ya reckon?

R.M.

You lot are so depressing. I used to hope you were confined to the nether reaches of Melbourne advertising, or at least those who wanna be in Melbourne advertising, but upon reading the blog one suspects your poison has spread.

Go away.

Good luck Leish you'll be fine - but word on the street is a couple of boys you know with 'Big hands' are about to exit st kilda rd soon??!!!!!

8:36 get a fucking sense of humour or get back to that trade presenter, fool.

Looks like the Blog has slipped bad to the bad, ugly days.

That clean up was short lived. Might need another sharp email from Nobby.

8:36 lighten up, I need you to do some binding while you're at it.

8:36 and 12:53 I need those scans and moodboards finished by midnight, hurry up!!!

This guy is hot!!!
What's his number?
Frankly, I don't even care if he's married.
Any guy with big hands can put his big shoes under my bed, anytime.

Am I the only one who thinks this pic of Tony makes him look like Dr Smooth, Melbourne sports injury specialist and media star Dr Peter Larkins?

I love you uncle Benny!
