In the month when Trev controversially sounded the death knell of the 30 second ad, and announced that only 5 second ideas will survive in this ‘tapas generation’ we have decided to award a 4 week placement here at BMB* to the creative team that can come up with the best ‘5 second’ portfolio.
Send your ideas to: Nathalie.turton@bmbagency.com or Lorelei.mathias@bmbagency.com
* Month runs from Mon 22nd April – 17th May
Both Nat and I are really disturbed by today’s Metro story about the douchebag who fried a hamster.
First of all, I thought he’d done it by mistake, so my tactical reflex muscles went, ‘Should’ve gone to Specsavers’.
But it turns out that it wasn’t that James White couldn’t see properly.
He couldn’t think. He was just really, really hammered.
Obviously this is f**ing mental behaviour, but it says more about binge drinking and the ‘state of our youth and their relationship to boozing’ than anything else. (wow, I feel old now)
So really, it’s not Specsavers but Alcohol Concern who should run a tactical ad using this image.
We’ll happily write the copy if they do.
Please share/retweet if you agree!

Just to let you know about a little something called WOW.
WOW is the Southbank’s annual global festival where women of all ages and backgrounds join together to celebrate women’s achievements and er, challenges across the world.
It’s on this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday, when there will be a bunch of very interesting looking performances, concerts, and talks. It’s quite hard to decide what to go to as there is so much.
The highlights for us are looking like this – a funny women workshop and the brilliantly titled Nice girls don’t get the corner office.
Not forgetting the legend that is Julie Walters, in conversation with Jude Kelly.
So, if you’re stuck for ideas for where to take your mum this weekend, this may be the answer.
More on the festival here.
Boys, you can come too if you’d like.
