We are on the CMUL panel – we would love to help you!

Check this out, a recent Channel 10 weather cross featuring some Quest participants. Pretty confronting but inspiring stories……

I actually stand in front of my TV and watch it. Now I am a cat person, but I think it’s beautifully done and driven by some great insights around the cat being part of the family. NOT the stand offiish, stand upish, selfish creature that they’re often portrayed as.

Let’s make this easy for both of us……

Do you:

• Have minimum 18 months agency experience?
• Enjoy working with a mix of interesting clients?
• Want to work on integrated campaigns – from TV to retail activation to digital?
• Like working as part of a team, you get out what you put in?
• Want to know that you can grow and progress in your role?
• Want to know more about us?

Red Ark is:

• A boutique sized, full service creative agency looking after some big clients
• Full of creative and passionate people who are also quite entertaining
• On a big growth path
• Looking for someone like you, if you meet the above criteria, and would particularly be impressed if you also have a background in digital.

Do we match up?

An attractive salary package and an attractive office in St Leonards come with the position. If you think you could make a difference to our business, contact Liz Rowell, liz@redark.com.au and tell me what you can bring to the party.

Phil Ruthven from IBIS says we’re not headed for a recession and the world isn’t about to end and we will all make a killing on the stock market in 2013. And he had a LOT of powerpoint charts to prove it. It was a great talk. And Stuart McLean of Google says small now beats big. Which is a bit ironic when Google now has 32,000 employees. So things are truly looking up!

For weekend pondering. More on this later I hope……

Loving this quote from Ricky Gervais in the smh today

And the irony is, for all these people who do it by committee and take notes and take studio notes and focus groups and take off all the rough edges and worry about their demographic and do it a bit like that one before that was a bit successful, they could be big, but not for long, they won’t be big for long, they got the floating voters of pop. They’re boy-bands and you want to be Radiohead. Things that take a little bit of time to get into are an acquired taste, they last longer and they travel better. These huge home-grown sitcoms that get 10 million viewers in their own country, they’re not played anywhere else, whereas things like The Office, every country in the world said, we haven’t got one like that, we haven’t seen that before. There are six billion people on this planet and if you do something that only you love, you’ll be surprised at how many other people say, no, actually, I like it too. It’s counter-intuitive, but people are scared. They get nervous and soon they don’t know why they went into the business in the first place.

We really do. And we really do wish you a fantastic break and a wonderful 2012. In fact we are counting on it.

All the very best from Red Ark.

Love the idea of doing a virtual walk down Fifth Avenue, peering into the windows of shops to see the latest fabulous fashion offerings and their sparkly Christmas (or that should be holidays) displays. And a community of like minded shoppers posting their favourite windows to TurnHills.com. A little distraction as the silly season gets into full swing.

Perhaps I should buy a coffee and donut to eat while I'm peering in

I can’t resist sharing this. I do always try to fly with our national carrier, but some things are too funny not to be shared.
