Do you have pet hates? Like radio hams or people who tow caravans or those who eat a lolly-ice till it's gone, still sucking the end of the stick eeeeek.
Marketing and PR companies are becoming Top of my hate list. If you throw a stick out the window in Liverpool you won't hit one you will hit three!
Spin of the week goes to Manchester's Love for
‘Merry Jape-sters’ - in Liverpool we just call them thieves.
Congratulations this week to: (my own)
Liverpool Film Academy premiering a film at The Phil and
Salford University for Marketing their Game without the need of
Media Vest and its £221 million cash flow (although with profit margins under 5% perhaps they need some help themselves)…
Bravery went to
Momentum for "Bootiful Matthews Brand" although I do think ‘Rustle up a Recipe’ competition is a complete Turkey.
"Anyone for Tennis?”
Blue Finch could nick John Lennon’s lines inviting the Palladium audience sat in the gods to sing while those in the front rows just shake their jewellery. Good old Boodles gave a Liverpool Gig to a Liverpool Company while
Liverpool’s Commemorative Birthday Coin PR went to Manchester’s Mere. I blame Liverpool PR companies; get yourself a Manchester address, put a cardboard cut out of
Nancy Dell’ Olio in the window draped in a City scarf, get the gig then hot foot down the East Lancs.
Love agency's spin on ‘alf -inches to Jape-sters might lead to an new name for one of the
Mister Men , ‘Mister Jolly Japer-ster‘ who pops off to award ceremonies with spare hold-alls just in case! Challenged by the police his voice box booms forth in a scouse accent and is immediately arrested.
Challenge of the Week went to
Urban Splash making the Midland at Morecambe sexy - it would have been easier taking the Bernard Matthews Gig. Before Marketing people send out a posse, I know you are up for a laugh, I have seen most of your campaigns.
