Peter Field & I recommend that marketers use a mix of “brand building” & “activation” comms. Our research suggests the optimum split is usually ~60% brand, ~40% activation, but varies by context. But why split brand & activation at all? Why not do both at once? 1/16

Ever tried to sit in a tiny chair when you're over 6 feet tall?​ ​ It's uncomfortable, unsustainable and, dare we say it... laughable. Just like thinking too small in advertising.​ Go Big or Go Home is available to watch on 27 May 👇

After 51 years, the agency currently known as adam&eve\TBWA is moving home. So much magic happened here. Farewell, and fare forward.

Full disclosure: the prose here is the work of the excellent Debbi Allen, based on my incoherent ramblings. She writes much better than I ever could. Thanks Debbi! You should really add your byline.

Much as it pains me to praise another agency, these are lovely ads. Well done @uncommon_studio.

Proof that one can talk about price in a way that is creative and emotional, and that you can do all that with posters.

Mum: "Do you need a Substack?" Daughter: "What IS a substack?" Les: "Like a Sub sandwich, but layers." Daughter: "Foot long, foot tall!" Les: "The ads just write themselves!" Daughter (wearily): "Yeah... Footlong how you Footlong"

"Make £1000 a day selling Happy Days memorabilia" said the ad. Turned out to be a Fonzie Scheme.
