Congrat’s mate, you are great at what you do so well deserved. I hear another digi planner is also leaving aim.
One wonders how long it will be before BBDO gives NZ management a ‘please explain’ call after so many senior departures from 100 College Hill. Well done Aaron, you’re definitely joining New Zealand’s best agency.
The ‘Didimoser’ strikes again.
I suspect if you’ve got a freaking hot advertising agency (e.g. Colenso) well versed in telling stories and connecting with people, you might not need a whole pile of expensive DM or Digital specialists running a very large studio inside your agency; instead, you might just want to run that studio yourselves and cut out up to a million bucks worth of bottom line cost.
I mean, everyone knows when it comes to teh intertron, clients only want some banner ads and a landing page, and they’ve all got Facebook accounts haven’t they? And I hear some of them have been writing their own emails using Microsoft Office for years…
Nice work fella, good to see you and Jose back together again 😉
Will done Mr Goldring. You’re a digital heavyweight if not a physical one.
again, why the compulsion to make puns in the headline?
at least advertising media should be free of them, except where absolutely necessary.
please
8.29. Not sure if you’re trolling or just a dinosaur. If you believe that first paragraph of yours you might want to find a time machine and take that trip back to 1990.
you’ve got to feel a bit sorry for the rest of tribal & ddb
2:28 I’m a trolling dinosaur with my tongue firmly in my cheek.
Or maybe it was the first line of the first paragraph that upset you?
