Hywel be off to Grey then?


From campaignbrief.blogspot.com:


"CB hears DDB Auckland creative Hywel James (pictured) is set to become creative director of Grey Worldwide, Auckland, replacing Todd McCracken who, as regional CD of Grey, has moved to Kuala Lumpur."

(James is best known for his D&AD winning Volkswagen Superman poster. And farting.)

"Meanwhile, DDB Auckland will soon be losing their deputy CD, American Gerald Mortensen, who is homesick and is heading back home to the States. As a result of the two leaving, the agency is on the look out for more senior talent."

(Safety tip: Hywell James has a valid NZ gun license and packs heat.)

Well done Hywel.

By the way mutherfucka's, he has only one 'l' in his name.

Good to see you've stoped moaning and got off your arse and done something.

Anyhow, can I come around to your west coast mansion, drink some beer (Emerson's) and shoot things?

Then, can we go down to the beach and watch people get swept off the rocks?

Afterwards, we can head back to your place and you can practice your new authoritive style of voice for the new job.

Might be a better pay cheque but it can't be a good career move.
Hope it works out for ya anyways.
Peace.

Good luck Hywel, I won't say congrats, I should be saying that to Grey. They are the lucky ones.

Looks like there's a fair few leaving ddb, if by chance you're the last out, please turn off the lights.

Hi Hamfister, how was the totty today?

There's a bit of a southerly going over the country at the moment. Are they all layered up?

Dear Jello,

Totty very hotty. And abundant.

Whatever southerly you mention has failed to turn any lights on as yet.

Is the madness under control?

Hi Hamfister,

Madness under control. Got topless action over road yesterday. Even waved. Things looking up.

Carry on.

Why don't you guys keep your personal chitter chatter to emails like everyone else. This site is for slander and character assassinations only. Granted character assassinations are a bit thin on the ground when talking about Hywellll but you could at least make something up. Like the time I walked past his office and heard a sad yelping whimpering sound, when I went in to see what was going on Hywell was strangling a cute little fluffy white kitten.

I never met Gerald. Did he ever exist?

Idle chit-chat?

Mutherfucka, I'll see you at the TVNZ cricket day. My left arm fast bowling technique may have taken a bit of a hammering in recent weeks due to an unfortunate injury, but the chance to fill up on tasty 4% mainstream beer and let down a couple of Brett Lee beamers is something I'm relishing.

Hey, there's a Die Die Die video been shot outside my office.

I have no other chit chat. Perhaps another cup of agency coffee, the strength of which resembles Third-World drinking water, will make me better.

You are a braver soul than I to write about Wong Kam like that.

Gerald is real. I've slept with him. Several times, actually. Therese, Chicago Il.

Every day at 7am Chuck Norris gets on his knees and prays to God, giving thanks that Gerald has allowed him to live.
