Well done.
But, seriously, what the hell is a “Buzz Planner”?
High velocity BS
‘Buzz Planner’???
I wanted that job!
THAT’S IT.
I’m going to get drunk at lunch on my CD’s card and when I come back I’m going to make one hell of a mess in the gents.
Buzz Planner. Hehehe.
in other words these guys don’t understand or value strategy…ads in a hurry, now strategy in a hurry. recipe for crap
The Boss sounds like he just got retrenched because he wasn’t interested in making money, just smearing crap on the walls and talking about the good old days.
We’ve known for ages, but congrats Courtney! Andy always said you’d get snatched up by Sydney!
sounds like someone that makes ads in a hurry is upset. go back to steamers
I’m actually a client.
I have ads made for me in a hurry by people that deliver results. Then I pay them.
It’s called a business relationship.
You’re the one that is upset about people that “don’t understand or value strategy” – what ever that means.
Go back Billy Blue and finish that advance diploma you never completed.
Congrats Courtney! Do great things!
