Traditional media is under the spotlight again today. This, not long after our recent article discussing local traditional advertising agencies and their thirst for awards vs. actually getting their client’s message out and connecting with consumers (here). A large number of you would have first read about Brandon Huntley, the 31 year old white man […]

WINNING AWARDS VS. SELLING THE PRODUCT
02 Sep 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 19 Comments
So Marie Claire magazine ran a story (current issue) on shocking fashion and advertising images. The ad agency, NETWORK BBDO, got excited and pitched an idea to Marie Claire – an ad for Marie Claire on that very same topic. Marie Claire rejected the idea as it didn’t suit their brand. BBDO loved it regardless […]

THE 2009 COSMOPOLITAN LINGERIE FASHION SHOW
31 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
I don’t often suffer from diva-like behaviour. Not because I’m not capable of it, but more because I seem to deal with people who understand good hospitality, rendering the notion impossible. Let’s take Cosmopolitan magazine, for example – who on Thursday night hosted the 2009 Comopolitan Lingerie Fashion Show at Wembley Square. I […]

BLACK GUY / NO BLACK GUY
27 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 9 Comments
A Microsoft ad published in Poland is causing a bit of a nightmare for the company. You see, the same ad was being used in the US, except the one in the US featured a black gentleman in the middle. He was removed for the Polish version. Enjoy these very average Photoshop skills: Now […]

THE SURFER NAILS CAPE TIMES FRONT PAGE
18 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
2oceansvibe Character “The Surfer” (AKA Anthony Fox) is making his name as a surf photographer and certainly took things to the next level this morning as the Cape Times published his pic of Twiggy Baker surfing “Dungeons” on the front page. The wave vs. prison ordealI’ll take the wave.. Quite a mean vibe. […]

JEREMY CLARKSON ISLAND
04 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
If you watch and enjoy/hate Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson, you’ll LOVE this clip. It’s with Harry Enfield and the gang as they take Jeremy Clarkson’s character traits and vibe to the very limit. This is genuine quality. Aaah, God – that was great! [thanks michael]

IN LOS ANGELES, COMPLETE FABRICATION IS TOLERATED
29 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Here in Los Angeles, the heart of La-la-land, anything is possible. There is a saying I made up many years ago, which Murray Walker stole from me and it goes like this: Anything can happen in Los Angeles, and it usually does! Take, for example, the tabloid magazines. Now, it’s one thing reading the likes […]

WHY MEDIA PLACEMENT IS SO IMPORTANT
22 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Our non-ex-pat readers on the continent and beyond may well appreciate a translation. The headline for the article to the top-left of the meat advert is to do with a worker who died after falling into a “meat machine.” Nice. Very mellow. Hey! Look at those lamb chops for only 28 bucks!! Are they […]

TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT
26 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Cape Town suffers from late night drunk texts just as much (possibly a tad more) as the rest of the world. You know the ones. When you wake up in the morning and see a string of “WHERE ARE YOU???” texts and booty calls from various girls and boys, sent at 3am. Or, should I […]

HOW THE MEDIA WILL PROFIT FROM MICHAEL JACKSON’S DEATH
26 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
It is interesting to note that American Law dictates that the descendents and controllers of deceased estates cannot sue for libel. So take into account the amount of borderline sensational stories were always waiting to be told about Michael Jackson, but were held back through fear of legal and financial damage.. And go! […]

30 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Gee whiskers! I don’t know if I should tell everyone that I cracked a mention in this month’s Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Editor’s Letter, or if I should keep it quiet so no one finds out I bought the mag before I heard about it! Not that you can blame me for buying it. Try this cover […]

FIND YOUR FILIPINA BEAUTY TODAY!
21 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of the down sides about having Google AdSense ads displayed on one’s website is they have a mind of their own. And by “down” sides, I mean “hilarious” sides. How Google AdSense works, is the code which produces the ad actually reads your webpage and will publish an ad depending on the content – […]
