So today is a year since I left Wieden and – in 6 days – Shanghai.
That’s incredible.
In some ways it seems it was just a few weeks and in other ways, it feels like a lifetime ago.
While it was absolutely time to start a new adventure – something LA and Deutsch have kindly given me – I still miss China and Wieden very much because I had 7 years of brilliant things happen in my life [such as this] and career [such as this and this] there … though I have it on good authority this sentimentality is only one way, mainly because those stickers I left behind are still being discovered.
And they will for many more years to come.
Cue: Evil laugh.

Comment by andy@cynic May 10, 2018 @ 6:57 amThe memory of working with you does more damage than those stickers do.

Comment by Rob May 10, 2018 @ 8:39 amThough in an act of karma revenge, I am spending my anniversary in Kansas. About as different to Shanghai as is physically possible.
Comment by Rob May 10, 2018 @ 8:41 amKarma wins. Unless you live in Kansas.
