Are you serious or just taking the piss?
A creative renaissance at McCanns. Oh yeah.
So who were the creatives who went to make way for this “new guard?”
Neil, am so proud of you. You look great in the photograph.
That’s probably the whole creative department
Is that hairy junior who rates himself still there?
Saucer of milk for 9.33 please.
Positive step in the right direction I’d say

No, i’m serious. A multi-talented and all round good guy.
Solid hire.
Nice work. It won’t be the first time an agency has made a turn around and kicked some ass. More people should spend less time on blogs like this and rather try and build a better creative department. Wherever that may be. Ninja chops all round.
