"Our team at Saatchi & Saatchi Adelaide are looking for a passionate and proactive Account Director to join the team, leading the team on their biggest local client for a 7 month parental leave cover contract. Based out of the client’s offices in Adelaide (supported by an Account Manager in Sydney), in this role you’ll be working very closely with the client team and collaborating w...ith our Sydney agency team." Wait, Saatchis are in Adelaide?
23.01.2022 Not quite hot off the press but some new(ish) work from our friends at KWP! Advertising.
23.01.2022 What the fuck did we just watch? And why the fuck are we still singing along?
23.01.2022 Well worth watching KOJO's latest VFX Breakdowns reel. It not only showcases how clever they are and how much awesome international work they do here in good old SA, it's also pretty "what the fuck those people aren't real?!?!?!" Spoiler alert: The ants weren't real either. Fuck. https://kojo.com.au/film-and-tv/visual-effects/
21.01.2022 Great opportunity to smash your way into the business with a great bunch of people. And some assholes. Hey, they can't all be great. Jokes, they're all assholes.
21.01.2022 Is this you? And if so, what the fuck are you doing looking at our page? Surely you're more sophisticated than that? But if you know someone fancy enough to fill this role maybe you could let them know...
20.01.2022 And the winners are...
20.01.2022 Let’s be honest, 2020 has been weird as fuck so far and just when you think we were getting to whatever the fuck Covid normal means, along came the AADC awards and seriously, what the fuck just happened? Well, I’ll tell you what didn’t happen: with the exception of one thing entered into 2,000 different categories which reminded me of that time KWP! won everything including the chook raffle for a coopers billboard or something, we didn’t give any awards to anyone for what fee...ls like the 19th consecutive year. And yeah yeah we know they say getting a finalist is like getting an award but not really and that’s why we call it a finalist which is exactly not like getting an award in the same way winning silver is exactly not like winning gold. So who did win what? Here’s the Cliff Notes lowdown: Let’s start with the easy bit: John McLaren formerly of everywhere but most recently Black Sheep was awarded the president’s award/watering can, and fair enough. He’s done heaps of over and above shit in his time, certainly more than I ever have or will, so solid choice. The Master’s Chair for best crafty thing went to Pat Parisi from Simple Integrated Marketing who, after winning 729 separate awards for the Rundle Mall stuff in pretty much every possible category, and even some that weren’t possible, made it way less than surprising then the fact Lot100 knocked the food out of the park. The Gold Chair for best advertising thing went to TBWA for their #BookThemOut campaign which was a campaign asking people to book holidays in South Australia after the bushfires and before South Australia was the only place we could book holidays. And new this year was the Client Choice award presented by the ever so handsome, pocket square wearing, Brent Hill who presented the award to... himself! With the #BookThemOut campaign picking up that gong as well. As far as overall winners go, I think it’s fair to say football was the winner tonight and almost everyone else was The Crows. But at least the food was good. The actual tally was Simple Integrated Marketing: everything. Everyone else: sweet fuck all. Or more accurately, Simple Integrated Marketing 9 awards, with TBWA, CAMPFIRE, The Rowdy Group and Showpony picking up one award each. While TBWA, CAMPFIRE, KOJO, KWP!, NATION and JAMES all failed to pick up a lowercase letter. (The only other awards went to Astbury Audio, Heesom Casting, KOJO and Seeingsounds.) And some other people got some finalists... (Showpony got 15, followed by Rowdy with 11. With an honourable mention for Hybrid/Crew grabbing 7 finalists despite being the latest business to get Robbed.) It’s also worth mentioning it’s quite fucking late and some of these facts may or may not be accurate and bad luck. We’ll post some proper pics when we’re good and bloody ready.
19.01.2022 Be funny if it wasn't true. Bus seat designers need to get off the fucking crack pipe.
18.01.2022 Brilliant insight.
18.01.2022 Couple of cracking jobs going at SATC at the moment... Digital Content Coordinator and Digital Content Producer. So if you’re still using a fax machine you’re probably fucked. But if you’re all over the fancy digital stuff you’re good to go! https://tourism.sa.gov.au//get-i/careers/current-positions
16.01.2022 Just in case anyone knows anyone in that neck of the woods.
15.01.2022 Can relate. Fucking clients. We'd be better off without them.
15.01.2022 Get your leg warmers on people and let's bust some moves to this new piece of work by Cul-de-sac Creative (with some fucking cracking music by Astbury Audio)
14.01.2022 New work from The Rowdy Group for TAFE.
14.01.2022 AADC Awards are on. Probably. Maybe. You might have to sit 2m away from the person next to you. Or not go at all. Or something. But you can still enter and win some bling.
13.01.2022 Thinking of lying on your resume when you apply for that next job? Yeah, nah.
13.01.2022 Fuck Ryan Reynolds for being good looking, funny, and apparently now, also an expert marketer. Fuck AdWeek as well for making you sign up to get this article. But because we're us, the 7 lessons are: 1. Less bureaucracy allows for more creativity 2. To be a good marketer, be a consumer first... 3. Authenticity always triumphs 4. Speed is good, too 5. Accountability matters 6. Celebrity status isn’t everything 7. Consumers are tiring of endorsers If you want to read more about then, especially No4 which isn't actually about drugs which is a pity, you'll need to sign up. Because we weren't about to post the entire bloody article here.
12.01.2022 Bugger shooting furniture and wine bottles, who’d be up for this photoshoot?
10.01.2022 Client whisperer wanted. Loud talkers need not apply. https://www.seek.com.au/job/50421536
08.01.2022 I don't think it's any secret I'm a cynical old bastard who is largely uninspired by much being done around town in our industry these days. But this is fucking excellent. Please support it. Please tag people you think will be interested. Please send your staff. Please share the fuck out of it. Sputnik.
08.01.2022 Discuss. (Oh fuck this is gonna be good. And you’re welcome.)
07.01.2022 New work from our friends at Showpony Advertising
06.01.2022 Jobs jobs jobs!
06.01.2022 Some people we know made this and it’s sort of about Zoom and let’s just say this once very clearly: not. Safe. For. Motherfucking. Work.
03.01.2022 Some really lovely pics from last night's awards. No, wait, from last week's awards. Ah... last fortnight's awards?...
02.01.2022 Don’t see what the big deal is, wouldn’t have been that hard to make, surely?
