Help get people talking

This is the best idea I've heard today.

A charitable thought that anyone can contribute to.

Everyone has an old phone charger sitting in a drawer for a phone they no longer use.

If you do, put it to good use.

Give it to bushfire victims to help them stay in touch.

Pop the charger in a postpack and send it to:

Telstra Country Wide,
Locked Bag 4670,
Melbourne Vic 3001

Victoria is hurting

Advertising and the bullshit that surrounds it are the usual topics to be found on this blog.

Not today.

The garden state of Victoria has been decimated by bushfires.

That pic above is what's left of Marysville. My wife and I stopped off there for a coffee on our anniversary a few weeks back.

When I was a struggling young copywriter I went to a couple of weekend creative workshops at the conference centre in Marysville. That's gone too.

Here's some of the places you can help:

Every little bit helps.
