And the chess game continues. Baylo to Saatchis???
jesus – what a year
Heard it from within the walls….
Doubt it. Gapes sending around that email was not ok, in my opinion.
two legends of NZ advertising – things may not have been so good the last few months, but they have done some amazing things which no one can deny. I’m sure they’ll go on to do something else just as fantastic.
Yeah right.
Word is it’s all a big stunt for Tui Blond’s Lets Be Honest. Great idea lads. Stand by for the big reveal and the Titanium entry.
Probably they’ll take over the merged Grey/Blackwood. It’s a hell of an opportunity.
So, lunch at NSP – who’s invited
I used to work at Saatchis and although the culture wasn’t to my taste I have nothing but respect for Mike O and Rocky. They are hard working, smart and relentlessly dedicated. You have to remember what state Saatchis was in before they took over, they added loads of new business and won several agency of the year titles. If they do move on I’m sure they will make a success of whatever they do.
Great stunt idea alright. Can’t wait to see the expression on all the punter’s faces at the Rangitaiki pub when they find out that the Stone-O’Sullivan rumour was all an advertising stunt for Tui Blonde. Classic.
If it is a PR stunt then Saatchi have finally jumped the shark
“Great idea lads. Stand by for the big reveal and the Titanium entry.” What a bunch of arse 9.23. It would be a shit stunt. Nobody outside of advertising gives a flying fuck who or what the “lads” do or are doing. What a load of wanky bullsheeeeet. No offence but your an arseknuckle. Just saying.
Probably hook up with Jeremy Taine!!!!
What are the chances of Saatchi NZ and Mojo being folded into one?
Job at Publicis Saatchmo, anyone?
can’t be a stunt. mitchell and dyer already did that quite well. and as 4.22 said such a stunt would only be relevant if it was just for the ad industry, like the one for Mad Men.
bring back peter moore!
Two very talented people. Great management team. Good luck to them.
not if you read the herald…. wholly crap batman. publicis saatchis…
