Good advice from far better people than I
Posted in Uncategorized
There’s a website to which I have just been alerted which might interest you.
It’s called whatareyouworth and has collected interviews with some smart thinkers including Dave Trott, Rory Sutherland and Flo Heiss.
So it’s kind of like TED, but smaller and less worthy.
It seeks to ‘prove the value of creative thinking to a changing Britain in a changing decade’, which, if I’m really honest, I don’t think it does (that is quite an ambitious ambition and I can’t imagine too many of the people who check out the site will need persuading of such a thing), but it’ll while away a few minutes and possibly provoke a few edifying thoughts.
And you can’t say fairer than that on a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
boring
Hmmm… just watched Trotty and a bit of Rory Sutherland while I had a sarnie.
Does anyone else find it a bit rich that we have these people talking the talk but not, err, you know, what’s the phrase?
Big respect to Mr Trott for his heyday of course. But quoting Voltaire & Descartes to claim the high ground today? Not sure.
And Rory expounding on neuro-science? Is that really evident in Ogilvy’s current output? If only.
since no one ever cared to explain it to me, was mr. sutherland joking when he once claimed he would work on any campaign for any product, even land mines, but not for london 2012? principles and all, you know. i got mine, too.
