Nice one Scott. You won’t get fitzed at Ogilvy. Good move.
‘Great once again’?
I may be assuming too much, but I suspect you were in nappies the last time O&M Sydney was great.
That would be when John Curran, Alan White, Paul Williams and Christen Monge were in full flight.
Mr Lambert,
From metal to chicken. A good move methinks.
Well done.
Well done Scott! WIN for Ogilvy
