Welcome to Optimism

Open Source Agency

Here at W+K London, we like to think of ourselves as fairly open and transparent.  Through this blog, we sometimes pull back the curtain to reveal the little old man pretending to be the Wizard of Oz.

But Agency.com are taking the concept of openness to the next level with their pitch for subway.  They’ve been heavily criticised in the comments, but at least they’ve tried to do something different.  What do you think?

Stu Pooh-Poohs The Blues (7)

Glasshalffull

Here’s this week’s podcast.  It’s a day late this week, which I’m sure has resulted in Wieden + Kennedy’s switchboard being jammed with complaints (note to self… sarcasm isn’t easy to carry off in written form).

I’ve just got back from The Big Chill.  More big than chill.

Anyway, this week sees the return of some Eddie Izzard and a guilty pleasure or two.
