Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man: November 2010
http://wannabeadman.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Sunday, November 07, 2010. Johnson, Writing, Briefing and Orwell. It's been a little while since I updated here. A combination of laziness, work bits and bobs and just not really having much to say has meant I've left WAM well enough alone. Anyway, after going to see a lecture at the LSE by Steven Johnson (which was excellent - he's very good value) on the topic of his new book. And, after readin...

Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man: May 2010
http://wannabeadman.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Saturday, May 15, 2010. Far too important to leave to chance. They aren't a comfortable pillow, believe me. This blog was originally started with selfish reasons (aren't they all, to begin with? I wanted to get into the ad business, and I wanted to be heard. Happily, it worked. And I'm delighted that it continues to help people into the business. 1) Staffed by people "like me". Now, I can't help ...

Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man: Consultancy with Conscience...?

Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Sunday, April 10, 2011. I wonder if it's Santa. Photo via jurvetson. After what seems to be a (sadly) typical four month pause in blog posts, I've decided to get off my arse and write another. Prompted by Neil's excellent Firestarters evening. At Google, I began to think a little bit about agencies, and just what will endure or be left behind in the next ten to twenty years and beyond. It's a sen...

Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Grit makes the Pearl. It looks like a variation on a G. Could be wrong, though. Hello Happy Easter, first of all. I'm enjoying the chance to potter at home, to play a little golf and reflect on the past four months or so since Easter. Slightly slower than Band of Horses can. Heh. It's been fun, so far, partly helped by the fact I have no expectations (save to be able to p...

http://wannabeadman.blogspot.com/2011/07/not-all-datas-created-equal.html
Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Sunday, July 10, 2011. Not all data's created equal. The famous class inequality. Sketch from Cleese and the Two Ronnies. I've been away for a little bit, visiting the US, so sorry for no posts during the past few months. And it got me thinking about the importance or unimportance of data. Though I think he's often an insufferable arse, Ben Goldacre published a good article in the Guardian. I wor...

http://wannabeadman.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Sunday, February 10, 2013. This blog is moving. Do what the sign says. This is just a quick post to say that this blog isn't going to be updated any more, as I have moved the posts from it to the spangly Will-Humphrey.com. You should update your RSS readers and all of that jazz to go here. See you there, hopefully. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Monday, November 28, 2011. Sciency' Communications and Partnerships. How a lot of ads are made. The title of this post might confuse anyone who's not read Douglas Holt's latest book, 'Cultural Strategy'. If you haven't (and you're reading this whilst in possession of a job on communications), you owe it to yourself to have a look. It's really very good. My problem comes when business judgements a...

Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Saturday, July 10, 2010. Obliquity: Why You Shouldn't Behave Economically. Hello there. It's been a little while since I've posted. Sorry about that. Been busy at work, doing a variety of new business bits and bobs, along with trying to hire a Junior Planner. For the burgeoning department. Which has been oft-trumpeted by the IPA. In homage to Ben Franklin. 8220;Divide half a sheet of paper by a l...

Confessions of a Wannabe Ad Man. Now featuring added comms analysis/rambling thoughts on a few bits and bobs. Saturday, December 01, 2012. Sort of like this man. The one on the right. Or a marketing agency. Those skills have stayed with me. Think about it; we live in a world where a lot of big-budget, assembly line ads and animatics are created year on year and are directly competing against community funded/created piece/s of work. Both of these can now fall under the remit of ad/comms agencies, and...
