… for everyone else, it’s a bit of flawed human, cold corporation, perspective-reminding brilliance … which you can buy here.

And I’m not doing it because a mate asked me to or because it’s easy to put up a photo – it’s because I give a damn and hate that you are feeling how you’re feeling.
Thanks Marcus

For all the training corporations give their people – more often than not it’s nothing more than how to follow internal processes or use their ‘proprietary’ tools.
Sure that’s important, but so is just helping people believe – not in the blind, American-parent sense of the word – but in letting people feel they are not alone and not isolated.
I know this is an old story and unrelated to adland … but it’s absolutely brilliant and a lesson to all companies about how to get the potential out of every employee, not to mention how communication with emotion is better than ads with just a gag.
Thanks Geert.

As usual, I am asking your well-connected, knowledgeable brains for help.
Basically I want to know what traditional agencies [advertising/media] offer under the social marketing banner?
Do they have specialist/standalone branded entities or are they ‘integrated’ into their already existing digital capabilities – packaged up so they look relevant, new and exciting?
The ones we know of at the moment are …
radarDDB
TBWA Riot
VCCP Search
Publicis Modem
Carat Engage
Plus some potentially shakier examples …
Digital Marketing Group Graphico
Pluck
YouGov Tracker
Emerging Media Lab-Interpublic
But do you know anymore and do you know what the truth is behind them [including the ones above]
As usual, any help will be gratefully received and totally confidential. The other positive [for you] is that this information is not – for once – being used for evil – it’s for part of a document we’re writing. A document for a nice person, not someone who revels in mischief.
Thanks folks, really appreciate it.

PS: I’m the ‘elderly’ you’ll be helping in this post.
To prove it, here’s a picture of a scarf I’m wearing because I’m so damn cold.
Yes, I know wearing shoes may help but who could turn down a scarf when it’s [1] a Nottingham Forest ‘Super Reds Magic’ one and [2] it’s so old, it still has the ‘name tag’ my Mum stitched into it when I first wore it at infant school, back in 1979!!!
Yep, I’m that old, that sad, that unfashionable and seemingly that tight … ha!
Seriously, any help [with the social marketing question, not my fashion sense] however small – would be brilliant.

Given the stupidity of Nottingham County Council, I wouldn’t be surprised if they came up with this study in an attempt to stop the city [and my beloved hometown] from being known as the ‘crime capital of Europe’.
Sorry guys, but being the nerve centre for wanking isn’t going to do our tourism levels much good either.
Q: What happens when you masturbate Monday to Friday?
A: You get a weak-end. [And prostate cancer apparently]
Hey look on the brightside, this blog can’t get any lower … though I might view that as a challenge.
Have a good one but remember to keep your hands above shoulder height. Well, unless you’re over 40!
