We wouldn't have minded if he'd bought "Iain Hunter" and "Jamie Bell", but I guess Tottenham Court Road is a long way from New York.

Taking the US by storm is this wee chappie who performs Gaga's Paparazi on the old joanna. Are we developing a bit of a thing for Gaga accousic versions and covers thereof?
We think he's splendid. Apparently he's a "sixth grader". We have no idea what that means but he looks far too young to be employed as our in house piano bar pianista just yet. Shame. Back to the old tapes of Come On Eileen then.

Here's our very own Jamie Bell introducing the Official HD Behind The Scenes Look from Kylie Minogue at the Mario Testino shoot for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer UK.
I should point out that the man in the picture you're looking at right now is not Jamie Bell but Mario Testino. But when you play the video you'll see JB. Right! That's that all clear then.

Monday nights are Glee nights at CMW towers. We all dress up and have a right old sing song. If you came round on a Glee night, what would you sing?

Fifteen years ago to the day, Clark McKay & Buckingham threw open its doors for the very first time with our founder client, Direct Line Life (and the promise of Eurotunnel, which even then didn’t keep its promises!) and if that’s not an excuse for a glass of the bubbly we don’t know what is! So, here at CMW towers that’s exactly what we’ll be doing later today.
Back in 1995, of course, the marketing landscape was a very different place, almost unrecognisable from the one we work in today. But the agency that Jonathan, Janet and Mark (and soon after, Steve) created, nurtured and grew into the leading agency it is today had a very simple thought at its core and one that we still very much follow today. That being, to recruit talented people, motivate them to do a professional job as a team, and have fun along the way. Sounds simple for sure, but in our opinion the best ideas are indeed always the simplest!
So, here’s to all the talented people that have made CMW into the agency it was, is and will be and all the friends we’ve made along the way.
Cheers.

Hanes have launched Manpacks - the proposition, 'simplify the basics', says it all. Chap signs-up (if they're a US sort of chap, not available in Blighty, alas) and is sent their chosen mixture of socks, shirts and pants on a quarterly basis. CHap gets clean, fresh whatnots and no thinking / organisational / shopping time is required, thus leaving more time for watching said chap's chosen sport / making best ever lists, playlists in iTunes and generally bloking out.
As well as being a great idea, the site is cool too. Nice use of the Feedback loop - though we would have liked to see it a bit more public and open - and nice feature for / use of chat.
