@KanumThai Can’t seem to order online for the past couple of weeks? Is the site broken or are there just no deliveries?

Nick Cave performs 'A Rainy Night in Soho' at the funeral of his friend #ShaneMacGowan in Nenagh today, very very special 🖤 https://t.co/7mERbPZu40

[Paul @76Hangman]

This is how a funeral should be done - to celebrate his life in such a unique way and what he brought to the world with his unique beautiful music RIP #ShaneMacGowan

I dunno about you but if I was concerned about women and children’s safety I’d put a balaclava on and start smashing the city I live in up and setting shit on fire while women and children try to make their way home in the evening.

@enchamade When I interviewed @147Deli for the piece below, he recommended Kiln in Soho and Manteca, and both sound 🤌

23 lessons from David Ogilvy:

1. Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.

2. The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.

3. You are advertising to a moving parade, not a standing army.

4. Do not address your readers as though they were gathered together in a stadium. When people read your copy, they are alone.

5. Remember you are a human being writing to another human being. Neither of you is an institution

6. Tell your prospective client your weakness before they notice them. This will make you more credible when you boast about your strong points.

7. Avoiding excess in all things is a recipe for dullness and mediocrity.

8. A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself.

9. There is no need for advertisements to look like advertisements. If you make them look like editorial pages, you will attract about 50% more readers

10. Big ideas come from the unconscious. This is true in art, in science, and in advertising. But your unconscious has to be well-informed, or your idea will be irrelevant

11. People who think well, write well

12. The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is 'test'.

13. On average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy.

14. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.

15. Tell the truth, but make the truth fascinating

16. Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.

17. Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals.

18. Raise your sights. Blaze new trails. Compete with the immortals.

19. I am a lousy copywriter, but I am a good editor. So I go to work editing my own draft.

20. If you're trying to persuade people to buy something, use the language in which they think.

21. Insist that due dates are kept even if it means working all night. Hard work never killed a man. People die of boredom

22. If you are lucky enough to write a good advertisement, repeat it until it stops selling.

23. At the start of your career in advertising, what you learn is more important than what you earn.

Last year, working in Ireland, having a pint in the cold outside a Dalkey pub with some new friends, a woman with purpose strode past us. Puffy parker zipped to the nape and her bowed head covered in a scarf. One of my new friends muttered an exclamation, jumped up

Watch President @BarackObama make an excellent point about call-out culture.

If you're part of today's woke revolution, you need to study the part of revolutions where they spin out of control.

@MyFavMurder That very first episode. I remember thinking “there can’t be just one” then there was a second, then a third, and off we began on our journey for the past 7 years! 👯‍♀️

Color is difficult. Let's start with the very basics that often have junior designers confused.

Let's talk about the color wheel 🧵👇

I’m just gonna say it.

@framer is going to take over in 2023 for web designers.

It’s happening. Learn it. Get ahead of everyone else not paying attention yet.

It's early to be talking about Christmas, but not about Christmas bins. FROM TODAY you have 4 green bin pick-ups left. Some of you only have 3. You want empty bins the week before Christmas so you have room to fill them the week after. Are you prepared? RT to raise awareness!
