The Elvis sideys and Tintin quiff look hot.
That’s bloody awesome!
“group executive creative director of The TBWA NZ Group”?
Is the “group” that one office near the police station or is there more they’re not telling us about?
Are job titles wank or what?
And how big is that group these days?
8.18 and 12.33.
I love the folks at Whybin’s. But you are right. That title is more than a teeny wee bit ridiculous. Definitely wins the ‘Big Swinging Title” Award.
“Show us ya title!”
“My title’s bigger than your title!”
