Linked in - The ultimate giveaway

You always know when someone is looking for a new job, because suddenly their profile gets ludicrously updated, right up until that one meeting last week where they did something really well and their current boss totally overlooked them.

Mark my words, next time one of your colleagues radically updates their Linked-In profile, they'll be gone within 3 months.

2 double shots?

Come on, NHS - this advert is NOT going to stop teenagers drinking or look up information on safer drinking habits, either.

All they're going to do is laugh in your face for suggesting that 5 pints will make you piss your pants, and 2 double shots will see you coated in your own vomit.

Those stats must've come from the client because there's no way anyone in the ad industry would think that amount of booze would have such consequences.

What is wrong with you?!

I went on some very good training in Digital advertising today. I was, however, astonished at the lack of knowledge about even the most basic internet phenomena amongst my peers and colleagues.

I'm not talking about anything advanced like coding your own website or fiddling with meta-data (incidentally a phrase no-one had heard of) but I was incredibly disappointed that my fellow admen and adwomen needed to be shown how to use Twitter and what iGoogle is. These were people in their 20s.

I have no words...and they're wondering why their agencies aren't picking up more digital briefs, or why they're struggling to sell in digital ideas to clients. Maybe it's because you're using a FUCKING TYPEWRITER and FAXING the work over to them?

Rant over.
