What sort of message is this? →
Earlier this month Pick n Pay spent a bucket-load of money on a new corporate identity. Groogle was perplexed as to why the R110 million didn’t include a re-branding of the Pick n Pay website which did seem strange at the time.
I’m pleased to say that Pick n Pay finally got their act together and their new website, with new Flickr-clone logo, has been launched.
Only one small problem - seems...
In Rainbows →
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, in mine, religion interferes with good governance and Radiohead are the greatest band of all time. Here is the single ‘All I need’ from their seventh studio album ‘In Rainbows’. Mature, informed and musically magnificent, but that’s just my opinion, you decide:

Peugeot 107 Campaign Clip →
Here’s a video case-study of the Peugeot 107 campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi AtPlay, entitled “Break Free“. I often use it in presentations, and have had so many requests to burn it on discs that I eventually just asked Allan Kent, Group Creative Director of AtPlay, if I could post it online. Thanks Allan:
