The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Was going to make a comment but then noticed you were writing about your very small clock.

didnt you listen to what i fucking said yesaterday. at least youve not written a load of wank to build up to the worlds unfunniest joke which is something i suppose.

and if you didnt stay in such fucking gay hotels you wouldnt have bathrooms with clocks that double as an eye test.

i like the glanceable marketing term. doddsy is quite good when the stars are alligned isnt he? pity it happens only on leap years. and your last para is quite good. obvious as fuck but quite good all the same and sure to warm the girdle of auntie georges fluffy little heart. it even made me smile but only because you didnt say the word “insight” because its got fuckall to do with the term planners throw out at will and everything to do with common fucking sense, not that many bastards are capable of understanding that, especially fucking planners who think reading about something in books like that shit brand bubble mean its law and they dont have to get off their fucking arses and talk or check out life first fucking hand. if planners think thats what makes them clever then paris hilton must be a fucking genius.

It’s almost as small as the little smiley face at the bottom starring at you when you look at the mobile version of this blog.

I think agencies often overlook their clients’ needs, fears, wants and desires is because a lot of the people running them are only looking after their own, often very short term, personal agendas. So they act accordingly and it’s all downhill from there. It’s not an easy problem to fix.

Interesting point regarding agencies preferring to keep their current remuneration model.

I am unsure how true that statement may be but for all the claims relating to being being underpaid and undervalued by business, very few agencies seem willing to do anything new to justify or earn it.

Good post, interesting comments.

firstly, i’m with The Kaiser on this one.

secondly, like a lot of stuff in adland, i originally aimed for optimism, wondering if it was perhaps a worthy idea with incredibly shit execution. my initial reading of it was less glanceable, more ‘discoverable’ design like the chapter 8, verse 12 detail here: http://inmyatmosphere.blogspot.com/2010/01/completely-badass.html
except in this case, the designer probably wasn’t one, or they are terrible at what they do, so it’s ended up a pile of crap.

and then i had another look at the photo and realised that, actually, it’s just a terrible idea and probably a cheap fix for a couple of complaints about the lack of a clock in the room.

as you were.

Oh look … both Lauren and Marcus are back and both are picking on me. Well at least you’ll of made Andy happy.

🙂

So what you’re saying Chris is the Grand Hyatt shold position themselves as the ‘posh tip’.

Nice.

It would definitely cut down on their operational costs … you might have just developed an idea that can generate the hotel group a massive surge in profits. Get your invoice in …

But he’s a fine judge of people – I’ve always said that.

maybe the loupe got stolen. or the shaving mirror s got a secret function.

Now wait a fucking minute

I gotta stand up for Campbell on this one..

sure the post could of done with some editing, or a simple link to Dodds’ post.

You could even pick on him for other things like, (from what i have heard, and in no way do i support rumours), taste in clothes, music, his loathing for certain entire nations (AUS), his killing of mother nature mile by mile in a sick twisted attempt to live out his George Clooney fanatasies.

but that is not the point. the point is:

say what you will about him, but without these prewritten, one thought stretched to it’s and ours utter limits (et tu Dodds ? ), posts, we all might, just might be a little less amused and wiser..

Got our back mate! 😉
