Stupid is as stupid does..

4 weeks ago, I briefed our ad agency that our pantry wall needed another wave of iD visuals (using posterboards or whatever). The brief was to use images from our launch activations instead of a key visual to keep the launch momemtum up. Its not a huge wall. Took our agency 7 days to provide 3 layouts. My boss then replied with 'can we use a tv or ... to loop the images/videos instead of printing a handful of images?' Took our agency almost 2 weeks to provide 2 layouts that was pretty much the previous layout with a tv. The GROUP ACCOUNT DIRECTOR came in yesterday morning to talk about the wall with her team. The GAD mentioned multiple useless things (amongst them a truss?!) and the Account Manager called their production department for execution advice and replied with 'since this will affect the wall, we suggest contacting the interior design company and have them take a look..' PEOPLE, its a SIMPLE project of utilizing our wall to display what we've done thus far!!!! The account manager later called me and suggested we use Jo-Jing, this event house that we've been working with lately. I happily agreed. Jo-Jing came in this morning, I re-briefed them, they got it on the spot and told me I'll be receiving 5-6 different layouts by Friday (4 days!). I really want to tell EURO to suck it.

Hump Day

Blogging on a Wednesday morning! This can only mean things at work has slowed down considerably -- woot! Flying home next weekend and pretty happy/anxious about the trip. Will make a stop in Santa Cruz for Danny's wedding, SF/Oakland to meet up with Marlow and Amanda, possibly LA/NY to meet up with Jeff and the amigos, Erica, Heather and the big H. Lots of flying over the course of 2 1/2 weeks. Bring.it.on! For some reason, I'm on an aredenaline kick. I have my eyes set on kite surfing in Boracay, come new years -- but I'm also thinking about snowboarding in South Korea over xmas! I'll have around 5 vacation days left after the Seattle trip -- hmm..
