The CB Blog – and its anonymous comments – comes in for a bit of stick of course in the long-copy advertisement, written by D5 creative chairman David Nobay, who was also art director and typographer, four years after he wrote this opinion piece for the CB Blog.

The last time CB can remember an  agency in this region advertising themselves was back in April 2009 when BBH Asia-Pacific ran an ad in Media that carried the headline “What would happen to our business if all the agencies in Asia stopped doing scam ads this year?”
