OMG. Really original guys.
Didn’t we deal with this over the Veet Bush thing? This is meant to be encouraging and awarding New Zealand agencies, innit?
Bad decision.
No surprises – Clems footy ad pulled from the blog. No doubt Martin and team at RWC Ltd didn’t want their stuff copping shite ….dumb to post that kind of work in the 1st place. #dusterfail
if you did something better, post a link.
If it looks like something else, post a link.

Not a bad idea but looks like it was crafted Microsoft Word.
Weak idea, weak execution, another client suckered
10:03pm – yeah I saw that too. Clems, here’s a simple rule: every time you PR work and then withdraw it, it results in you looking like knobjockeys.
“Topical, simple and funny”
I’d agree with topical, and simple.
I only caught a glimpse, but the font on RWC ad looks very similar to comic sans. Says it all really.
