DDB Canada burns the rubber for Subaru launch

DDB Canada burns the rubber for Subaru launch

By Angie Dean on July 6, 2012

Boy racer car ads seem to be making a comeback, as we noted the other day with the latest Deutsch online effort for VW in the US. Subaru has been inhabiting such territory rather longer than VW and here’s DDB Canada’s latest online effort, ‘Scorched,’ for the BRZ, the Japanese company’s first rear-wheel drive sports [...]

So why did UK PM David Cameron send all those text messages to former News boss Rebekah Brooks?

So why did UK PM David Cameron send all those text messages to former News boss Rebekah Brooks?

By Stephen Foster on May 10, 2012

That’s what we all want to find out from the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics tomorrow (Friday) when former News of the World and Sun editor, and latterly CEO of Rupert Murdoch’s British newspaper operation News International, Rebekah Brooks takes the stand. How do we know Dave sent all these text messages, and that Rebekah [...]

A digital poke in the face for the BBC’s top stars from BBH New York

By Stephen Foster on February 7, 2012

The BBC is plugging its new iPlayer iPad app with a campaign from BBH New York and celebrated comedy director David Shane of O Positive featuring some of its big stars including Ricky Gervais and the Top Gear Crew (sans Jeremy Clarkson it seems) submitting themselves to an intrusive index finger. And there’s a game [...]

Now Murdoch phone hacking scandal brings down top cop Stephenson - will James Murdoch and PM David Cameron be next?

Now Murdoch phone hacking scandal brings down top cop Stephenson – will James Murdoch and PM David Cameron be next?

By Stephen Foster on July 17, 2011

Well it seems an extraordinary idea doesn’t it? UK PM David Cameron being forced to resign over the Murdoch newspapers phone hacking scandal. But don’t rule it out. Tonight Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson (pictured) stunned just about everybody by resigning over a cocktail of issues including his investigation of the phone hacking scandal, [...]

Did Rebekah Brooks' PR chums invent fake front page stories for her newspapers?

Did Rebekah Brooks’ PR chums invent fake front page stories for her newspapers?

By Stephen Foster on July 11, 2011

Amid all the Murdoch stuff in the UK newspapers at the weekend was a fascinating piece in the Mail on Sunday claiming that current News International boss Rebekah Brooks used to run fictional press releases from her PR buddies as front page stories in the Sun and the News of the World. The article, written [...]

James May's ad debut for Fuller's demonstrates masterly inactivity

James May’s ad debut for Fuller’s demonstrates masterly inactivity

By Angie Dean on October 11, 2010

“This is the one thing I’d walk somewhere for,” says Top Gear presenter James May, crossing the road from his house to a Fuller’s pub for a pint of London Pride. Well the ad by the DCH agency (part of Doner) can’t have cost much to film (assuming it’s his house and a real pub) [...]

James May to front Fuller's campaign, is he now the top dog at Top Gear?

James May to front Fuller’s campaign, is he now the top dog at Top Gear?

By Stephen Foster on October 4, 2010

There are many reasons to choose Top Gear presenter James May to front a campaign for Fuller’s London Pride beer. He’s a noted beer fan (appearing as a rather grumpy beer champion in a very boring programme with wine expert Oz Clarke a couple of years ago) and lives around the corner from the Fuller’s [...]

Is Sir Terry right about BBC stars?

Is Sir Terry right about BBC stars?

By David O'Reilly on July 5, 2010

It’s all happening at the BBC these days. 6 Music is to be saved, DG Mark Thompson is finally taking his scalpel to salaries and pensions and even Sir Terry Wogan, safely out of the firing line himself, admits that BBC stars could easily take a pay cut of 10 to 15 per cent. Sir [...]
