Udderly Animated

Decades ago, John Webster at BMP (now DDB) made some animated adverts for dairy products - Prize yoghurts.

In the past year, there have been some similar animated adverts for dairy products - Apetina cheese.

There's very little chance there's any copying here - it's just interesting to see how the tone of voice is almost identical, in the same category, like an echo years later.

Georgie in Campaign

Campaign magazine did a feature on The Future of Planning this week. Having Georgie represent DDB UK account planning was our way of showing the future of planning rather than just writing about it.

It wasn't any sort of compromise. Despite being years under 30 and female (unique, apparently, if you were to look at whom our competitors fielded) she's already been the planner for some great work on brands like Tropicana, Monopoly and Harvey Nichols. You can read Georgie's take on the future here.
