ballet and junk
As you will know, I recently began a new career in advertising with GPYR. It is not half as glamourous as one might think, but working with a number of dangerously creative people can have its perks. And its fails. But variety is the spice of life.
We recently launched this new ad for smart energy, junk ballet.
Not the best ad I have ever seen (currently this) but it is still good fun. More interesting though is that it took me four viewings to work out that my cousin stars in the ad (it is he who plugs the cables together). This is an uncanny coincidence. The boy gets around.
Big ups to Thomas. He is also a keen publisher, a life I lived in one of my previous careers.
So now I have worked in magazine publishing, book publishing, as a journalist and a copy editor, and here I am as an adevrtising executive. One can’t but help hope that I am getting closer to the right career. My dream is to get into strategic communications, mostly in digital spaces. I’ll be updating my progress right here. Keep an eye.
