Google’s Birthday, Celebs Saving The World & Making The Brylcreem Ad
Well, it has been a very busy week & we’ve been a bit slack on the blog because of that. Matters haven’t been helped by the fact that New Media Age were buying me drinks all last night at the Bladdered Again event. Anyway, to make up for that we thought that we would share […]
Brylcreem’s Effortless Ad
We’re very pleased to anounce that the new ad for Brylcreem, which stars a chap who entered their MySpace competition, is now live. It was put together by our friends at WCRS whilst we’ve built the new Brylcreem site (it’s not finished yet) and will be working with them to promote the new ad online.

Does Anyone Still Think YouTube Wasn’t Value For Money?
As everyone knows by now, last year saw Google’s acquisition of video upload site, and Web 2.0 standard bearer, YouTube for $1.65 billion (about £890 million). Since then the general consensus of opinion has often appeared to be that Google were simply throwing money away.

DC Names
Given a black page and white type how would you express your own name? Here’s how DC employees would do it.
Some excellent entries most of which, interestingly enough, did not come out of the creative dept.

Plenty of Joost
OK, so I shouldn’t be writing headlines (I toyed with ‘Joost in time’ but noticed The Register had beaten me to it). However despite my lack of copy writing skills, I did feel compelled to blog about Joost.
For those of you not familiar with this soon to launched IPTV service, it’s the latest brainchild of […]
