I was hoping you’d go to the Reds!! But still a great transfer fella. Congrats and have fun.
Congrats Mr
Nice one geezer, congratulations!
Great chin-stroking pic by the way 😉
Great gig for a great bloke.
Remember when we were young and we promised on our mother’s life we’d never have a pic taken of ourselves doing ‘the chin thing’?
Those were the days.
Congrats Cam and good luck.
It’s impossible to hate Cam. Lovely bloke, and talented.
There is no DDB New York. All the clients have deserted. No new business wins. The NY office is on it’s knees and has been for a while.
