Emperor's New Clothes?

Does Australia really need another agency?
Yes. If they're going to be doing something new, amazing and never been done before.
No. If they use cliches like this:
“We are a new type of agency that goes beyond the world of advertising’s traditional media planning and buying dictate which is too often stuck in the old paradigm."
And how does a "new type of agency" announce their arrival down under?
Pavement stencils!
Kinda interesting me thinks. But not when they are supported by a rationale like this:
"Our targeted stencils go some way to support this point by challenging the accepted norms of targeting broad audiences “P25-54″ (all people aged 25-54) and the obsession of accountability by percentages such as 48.76% 2+ reach etc."
Far be it from little old me to tell a global media agency how to go about their business, but perhaps they might want to get a copywriter to look at their PR releases.
After all you can't be a "new type of agency" when you're peddling the same old corporate speak as everyone else.

When will the mavericks come back? Would someone please bring back the mavericks? Otherwise I'm staying here.
They're part of a global network. Need i say more?
I see all sorts of stencils on the ground in St Kilda, but they are cool and/or funny. My favourite is simply 'Made you look'. There's nothing 'mavericky' about having to explain what you're doing to an online chorus of groans
I have to say that the only brand that i genuinely discovered through footpath stencils was playstation. before they released, they sprayed half of sydney footpaths with their wacky PS-style logo, but nothing else. viral before youtube. i had no idea what it was and neither did anyone else. then, the billboards hit and it was all over. both for playstation and for street stencils.
oh, and tait - stay there. it's summer. it's warm. and the mavericks are probably playing there next week.
Hi , thank you very much for your blog…it’s great!...it has helped me get my tango videos seen all over the world !
I am a former businessman and entrepreneur from Austin, Texas who one day did a crazy thing and followed is dream by going to live in Florence, Italy even though I was broke, had never been there, did not know anyone and did not speak the language...I was 47 years old at the time....well it had been a 12 years full of unbelievable movie like experiences in a country full of MAGIC !
One of my dreams had always been to be a tango dancer and so I pursued that with a passion...I have now taught tango in several places in Europe and the US and have done performances in some beautiful theaters...
And so my message to people is..
• Follow your dream...DO IT NOW !
• It is never too late...NEVER ! (like, life is too short, man!)
Come visit me in Rome , we'll share some good food and wine and I'll show you the most beautiful city in the world ! (and I can teach you to tango) Here is my latest video !

Suddenly I have the urge to dance... weird.
varying slightly from stencils and tango lessons my initial thoughts were, "FRANk? I thought this thing was Vizeum?" So with all handles on YT,FB,Delicious being FRANk... why are they calling themselves Vizeum?
My number pet hate of brading is the mashing of words to get new words. It's basic, boring and easy (except of course for mathemagical which is an awesome word).
But I digress, the point is, if you want to trade off your name, pick one and stick to it.
PS Edgy and alternate a stencil does not make.
