Wieden+Kennedy account manager Josh Okungbaiye has some high profile chums. Today he was breakfasting with Richard Branson, and after much discussion they did some pointing at each other.
Josh: "Rich, you see me every time you're in town, and yet you always ask for photos" (Playful/banterous 'we see each other all the time' tone.)
Richard: "Yeah I know Josh, but I've got to prove to my work that I've seen you!"
Amazing.
Every year, the NME give away an award to someone they describe as a ‘godlike genius’.
Someone who has done wonders for the music industry.
A gamechanger.
Past winners have included:
Ozzy Osborne.
U2.
And Shaun Ryder.
Make of that what you will.
But I have a suggestion for next year’s awards.
Patrice Wilson.
Who?
Patrice Wilson, that’s who.
He’s the man behind Ark Music Factory.
And hit’s such as Rebecca Black’s Friday.
And Nicole Westbrook’s Thanksgiving.
Along with a host of other belters.
The news is though.
He’s back.
And hungry.
Hungry for Chinese Food.
My word.
He’s smashed it.
