Good on ya Ricardo
Cheers for that Ogiilvy. Paul Taylor. Committed freelance creative.
I’ve been told the Ogilvy has some of the best looking girls in advertising. So now they’ve added the ‘sexiest man in advertising’ to their fold 🙂 The place is going to be the well set-up to win all the beauty parades!
Jokes aside – good for you Ricardo, and we look forward to seeing some great work coming out of Ogilvy.
I think Darren is better suited to a full time role. I hear he was a little lost as a freelancer.
Well Wonky certainly didn’t lose his balls as a freelancer. He shot 79 the other day. Ogilvy are lucky to catch him before he defected to the PGA Tour! Good on you Wonks. signed Not that anonymous.
