Adam&Eve shows its populist side for Phones 4u


The amazing transmogrification of DDB London under its new bosses the Adam&Eve crew continues. This new ad for Phones 4u would never have emerged from Bishop’s Bridge Road as was, DDB’s HQ and before that home to the celebrated Boase Massimi Pollitt.

BMP’s legendary creative director the late John Webster, agency founder Martin Boase and MD Chris Powell would have been reaching for the smelling salts if anyone had even suggested it.But Phones 4U is, as its name suggests, a populist brand so it gets some populist advertising. With a certain amount of fizz and vim admittedly.

Important question for local business owners - are you making enough online sales? / Neil Brewster

I was sitting talking about marketing and websites with a local business owner yesterday (who makes some cool stuff but is not making enough online sales) discussing how to use your website to get more customers. A pretty common theme lately, something everybody seems to want. Anyhow, it prompted me to write this post:

Running a business is not easy. We may be lucky enough to have loyal existing customers, but unless we make sure we have a steady flow of new prospects and new clients we will constantly be in trouble, or always have that nagging feeling in the back of our minds of when we might get into trouble.

Keeping your website up to date is not easy and SEO even harder. Maybe you have just pushed it all to one side and tried to forget about it, the common thinking being that it is too difficult, too expensive and you just really don’t get what you need to do.

You’re not alone, hence I decided to put together 10 steps you can do yourself which will help you on the way:

Edwin Mast-Ingle writes ... New lifestyle snaps the crackle and pop of the cereal industry

I use my writing to change perceptions in this world: Edwin Mast-Ingle

The battle ground for a healthier lifestyle, particularly the prevention of obesity and diabetes, is likely to be fought in hitherto uncharted territory. The combatants are the giant conglomerates of the breakfast cereal industry versus proponents of a radically new lifestyle advocating a high fat and protein menu that eliminates carbohydrates and sugars to prevent both the ailments led by two authors – one in the United States and the other in South Africa.

The stakes are high on either side. The global breakfast cereals market, valued at $32.5-billion in 2012, is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4% for the next several years, reaching $43.2-billion in 2019, according to a new market report from Transparency Market Research in the US. With sales up 43 percent in the past five years, the dry cereal business has been one of the fastest-growing segments of the food industry...figures that seem to be matched by the rising obesity and diabetes trends.
