@hartnett1977 Still shite and little@respect for the brand. Who designs these brain farts? And more importantly who at @SpursOfficial actually signs off on these designs.
I want to know. I would like to have a branding & design conversation with them.

@sterkinekor please explain why I can’t make a booking for a movie for next weekend? Can only make bookings online up till Thursday 9th?
Ludicrous UX delivery.

@HeidiGiokos @MrChristiffa Is it bad optics? Yes. Was it planned? Probably not.
Sale was probably planned some time ago & put in motion by those oblivious of what was happening in the c-suite … so poor internal communication … like that never happens in a corporate with multiple departments & structures.

Making tough decisions today. Fill the tank up with diesel or get an air fryer in the #takealot sale?

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@capetownsue Exactly.

@capetownsue Frozen croissants from Rialto… & they deliver.

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@capetownsue … and so it has become. Delivery takes place tomorrow.

@mark_keohane Will never forget a marketing director once told me, when I was managing a large non SAB beer brand in 2011, that I needed to focus on football. That rugby wasn’t where the market was. Was about to change club rugby with SARU thru a UCL format & put it TV weekly. #WRFC

I’m not an engineer as I figured that you don’t need to be one after the performance on Sunday of the ones you currently got on the pit wall.
So it’ll be an improvement. as I couldn’t do any worse.
Been watching F1 for over 30yrs & I knew those were the wrong calls.

@ScuderiaFerrari in case you taking applications for race strategists after this weekend, I’d like to put my hand up. I’m not an engineer. Just a fairly good strategist with a strategic brain, able to analyse data … oh and …

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@FrontRowGrunt Easy. (1) Build brands not franchise models. (2) have a single brand, not one per local competition (apart from “Sharks” that is), (3) give brand sense of location, provenance,& community. (4) Have fewer, but more meaningful competitions, (5) administration.

@SkySportsF1 @askcrofty please look back at footage. Le Clerc went deep into turn 1 when you got all excited that Max made up over 3sec. That & the botched pitstop put him 4th. So mainly his fault.

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@Ollie_Davis Ouch. Truth hurts.

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

LiVARpool. That’s a goal in my book all day long.

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@FrontRowGrunt @RugbyMrRef @Oom_Rugby @BrendenNel Couldn’t have put it better … although you forgot the centuries old rivalries in some areas.

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@RetailCapitalSA just a heads up (pardon the pun) on today’s emailer heading. Thinking you missing an “A”.

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@nickhedley Buy buy buy. 😂

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@Daily_Hotspur @ChampionsLeague Wishful. @SkySportsPL &@GNev2 still going to bang on about how & why he should sign for Utd.

[Mark von Bentheim @MarkvonB]

@FrontRowGrunt Where’s the opposition’s players doing a try preventing tackle? Twat.
