Josh&Jamie go get stuffed
Not very old Auckland agency, Josh&Jamie has picked up Fairfax Media’s online news-site, Stuff.co.nz in a competitive pitch. The incumbent was Big Communications.
“She’s a beaut account to win,” says J&J creative director, Josh Lancaster, “although it does mean Jamie will be crapping on even more than usual about sport with the extra stories stuff.co.nz has.”
Adds fellow creative director, Jamie Hitchcock: “Stuff.co.nz also has aterrific daily quiz on the site which anyone passing the agency ataround 10am every morning is welcome to come and compete in.”
Fairfax Group Advertising & Marketing Manager, Sandra King wasimpressed by how Josh&Jamie handled the brief: “J&Jdemonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the business anddelivered some compelling creative,” she said.
Nigel Tutt, General Manager – Digital Platform and Channel Developmentat Fairfax says: “It’s a really exciting time for Stuff and we’relooking forward to working with the boys and Jo but mostly with Jo.”

Nice one guys, well done.

Our congratulations to Josh&Jamie on picking up Stuff.co.nz. It’s a great brand and it will be in very good hands I’m sure. Just to clarify, although we were indeed the incumbent, we advised the guys at Fairfax some time ago that we would not be looking to continue with the relationship. We were not involved in the pitch. Not sure who they beat, but it wasn’t us.
If Big lose Stuff there will be consequences…
Shot fellas
I notice on this blog that everyone hates everyone, except Josh & Jamie. Myself included.
Well played. Again.
