Branding by association

Watch it.

What do we do again?

First off, I wanted to congratulate the good people at Venables (Bryna + Josh) for winning the Audi pitch. As you know, I broke up with my A4 before I moved to London but if you guys "engage" me as a "consumer" and "connect" with me on a "relevent" note, I might buy the A3 when I get back :)

Second, I was showing off the new flashy business cards we got yesterday to my sister (aren't they cool Jo?) but she still has no idea what I do. And I had no idea how to explain it without sounding like a big dork.

Does anyone have a little little speech put together especially now since it's Christmas time and I'm pretty sure you'll get drilled by family members. Or something unique they say about their job?

Cool agencies

Does anyone know of any independent agencies that are doing things differently? I would like to put a list together, here are some on mine that I don't think anyone else will have. Agencies with cool websites will do but they have to be independent!

Mike (or) Tom works on Lifetime?

On Adage today. What Lifetime networks sent them for the holidays. Having one foot in the media realm here at VB&P, all I've gotten is a ton of cookies from various pubs, and two bottles of wine. Anyone get anything super cool?

Also thought it was appropriate that Lifetime decided to go with Eleni's, because Mike and Tom got the idea to use the brand for a project in school-while watching one of their made for T.V. movies "The Baker who was Beaten". I think they snuggled.

They are going to claim that Charlie gave them the assignment, but unless he comments to the affirmative, then we all know the real deal.
