Travesty of All Things Gay has crossed the line: he has (without consulting me at all) hired two Planners to work into me: one of whom I don’t think is good enough to do the job; the other whom is very good – but who won’t work well with me. So – I have arranged [...]

My Future With Travesty Of All Things Gay

Interesting how mixed one’s emotions can be at one and the same time. I remember when it was announced at Wife’s second pregnancy that we were having twins, my shock was matched by my delight – so that I netted out somewhere in the vicinity of “numb”. So it was after the announcement this week [...]

Saturday, 8th March 2008 Only the other day, I was saying to Wife over tea and buns that one of the things that I love most about my current job is that I don’t have to pitch – just work on my accounts. Oh, the irony! The very next day, in comes a request from [...]
The Week Ahead

Sunday, 16th March 2008 The week ahead fills me with a sort of dread, almost entirely down to the fact that Very Big Pitch is on Thursday – or at least the strategic component (i.e.: the bit that I am I alone can either fuck up or triumph on) is. On the plus side, I [...]

Saturday, 29th March 2008 Well, obviously I have changed my mind entirely about the whole pitch thing: it is now the air that I breath, the wine that I drink, the sun that warms me. It’s The National Gallery, it’s Garbo’s salary, it’s Cellophane. As ever with me, this startling volte-face is due entirely to [...]
The Big Win

Saturday, 12th April 2008 Before I left on holiday, I was asked to go to a final meeting on The Big Pitch at our client’s London head office. This meant leaving the Italian Lakes earlier than scheduled – but boy, was I ever glad that I did. The meeting went amazingly well: better than any [...]

Sunday, 20th April 2008 While I was relaxing in Scotland, news of The Big Win was released by our client – it seems to have been announced to the incumbent agency the day before and us on Thursday, along with the bitchy industry rag “Campaign”. The mood is buoyant in the Agency: this is the [...]
