CD For Sale on TradeMe
With the advertising community at large so often accused of being "out of touch" or "elitist" the team at Sugar (one of NZ's independent advertising agencies) has decided to attempt to a social experiement of unusual daring:
In his absence (annual leave, Fiji) we have decided to send our esteemed Creative Director out into the community to connect with the real people.
Your opportunity? Become a "CD for a day" in the wild and crazy world of advertising!
The pay-off? We send our guy over to cover for you too (or try to provide a suitable replacement if your job is simply beyond his capabilities).
No reserve.
No experience required.
Happy trading!

I hear he's awesome. I'll be big shoes to fill...
4:59 pm NZST
big shoes or big ego?
5:04 pm NZST
Great photo!
5:07 pm NZST
i have it on good authority that he's gives great wrist
5:09 pm NZST
AS? Is that short for ASS?
5:30 pm NZST

Bulla Bulla - By the way Hannah from Manukau aka the kroad hooker is interested in a swap!
5:37 pm NZST
What do CD's do anyway? They are overpaid jackasses
9:36 am NZST
Does this mean this will leave a cavity at Sugar?
11:33 am NZST
Until you become one 9:36 - then they become wise and talented judges of creative work.
12:30 pm NZST
I nominate anyone from David Bell's class - they'll all do a better job. And be taller.
9:37 pm NZST
Hell yeah
12:38 pm NZST
Can someone pleeeeeeease post something new up. This shit's been up for days.
1:22 pm NZST
why bother?
4:17 pm NZST
I'm keen to start some rumours or backstabbing. That shit on the CB blog slamming the DDB team was pretty good till it got pulled, lets have a bit of that. Anyone keen to nominate someone to be slagged, doesn't really matter who as long as it's not me. Not that you know who I am coz it's all anonymous anyway, so we're safe to slag till our sad little hearts are satisfied.
I think someone in Wellington, after all, no one cares about Wellington anymore.

I really like the 42 below stuff in Vice.
The latest Goldstein stuff on the telly is rubbish - when did it stop being funny?
I'm planning on holding up 'scam' signs at Axis, they're going to be written in tomato sauce.
4:37 pm NZST
Goldstein was funny? Thought it was a Zionist plot or gag on Jew bankers.Perhaps both.At the same time.
Never once thought it was funny.Always lumped it in the "Seven Periods with Gormsby" oh-dear pile.
6:18 pm NZST
Why is there no mention of 'Be the Ball' cleaning up and Clio on this site?
7:06 pm NZST
cause this site is balls
10:03 pm NZST
Because this isn't nzwhybinjackoff.promospot.com
9:10 am NZST
Unbelievably, people are downloading Seven Periods with Gormsby. Although one can't help but suspect that it's probably the kids on the show trying to destroy every copy.
9:39 am NZST
I think this blog has finally run out of steam.
Which is probably a good thing.
9:46 am NZST
how about those axis results then aye?
10:23 am NZST
where are they?
10:36 am NZST
(Awkward moment)...
Um, you or your agency contact should have been notified by caanz if your in.
11:02 am NZST
Anyone heard about the awful Caanz internet cock up with the entries?
11:06 am NZST
please explain.
11:16 am NZST
Apparently CAANZ sent a list of the winners to the 'all DDB staff' email address. Could have been an even bigger cock up, but there's only 11 people on the list.
11:41 am NZST
hardly surprising. no one ever wins at axis.
its there a master list of finalists anywhere so we can pick it to shreds please?
11:58 am NZST
Someone from DDB should post it. Apparently it's dominated by the MTA ads.
12:14 pm NZST
wot ads are those?
12:42 pm NZST
If you want to slag something new, on the CB blog there's a nice pic of the Whybin head of art with his Grande Clio at the awards the other night in Miami.
1:05 pm NZST
How long before Catmur roots the new scottish chick?
1:15 pm NZST
I'm assuming the only problem you have with the picture is your notable absence?
Best bit of work out of nz for a while - you dont really pick up a grande clio everyday. Especially if you're Whybins. Remeber these guys were sitting on one (1) axis finalist this time last year so i reckon they are doing good. So how about slagging yourself for being a miserable cunt... just an idea.
1:29 pm NZST
This crap sugar CD trademe post has just killed the blog. No one can be arsed posting anything new.
1:44 pm NZST
Not true. Attempts have been made to post but they haven't seen the blog light of day.
Whoever vets this stuff, come on, wakey wakey
2:18 pm NZST
2.18. Probably for the best. I reckon this site has run it's course and gone far off it. It's got SFA to do with advertising, just bitchiness.
I vote it gets shut down.
3:24 pm NZST
2.49 was Andy Blood.
Thats because.
He wrote.
Like this.
Sorry, couldn't resist being bitchy.
4:01 pm NZST
Maybe no-one's posting because everyone's doing work for a change?
4:23 pm NZST
Where's Heidi? She'd sort all this out. She'd know what to do. And she'd fix up the fact that we're still (supposedly) talking about a CD that's not even for sale on Trademe any more. (They removed the listing - presumably because somebody bitched.)
I don't know if it's allowed to blog here without leaving a sprinkling of profanities. But I'll click the button and see what happens.
Meanwhile - did anyone see Lost?
4:37 pm NZST
2.18, I also sent something in - some funny Skittles TVCs - but they never appeared. Maybe the person who runs this thing has died. People do die.
On that sad note, let's reflect on all the good times this blog has brought us (you know like a "clips" episode) and then take a moment to thank them in your own special way. R.I.P.
4:38 pm NZST
No. 2.49 wasn't andy.
But

C'mon, whoever has got the keys to this blog, can they pass them on to someone in the creative fraternity who has a bit of time on their hands. It's a great forum (despite some of the nastiness) and worth the effort to keep it going - and by all accounts there's a lot of folks tuning in each day who would miss it if it disappeared.
8:21 am NZST
Actually all the cool creatives are hanging out at another blog.
It's just you losers here.
That fear of rejection you've had since childhood?
Justified.
The cool kids don't like you.
9:13 am NZST
Actually 9.13 - I run this blog and I've been too busy donkey punching your wife and mother to upload anything more than my man load on those dearest to you. I hardly speak to them afterwards either.
Funnily enough the word verification on this post is WAY VD. Something you may catch off your mother soon.
10:17 am NZST
I think this blog become noticeably crap since the handover from old blog-master creative "Neil" and new blog-master creative.
6:21 pm NZST
Yeah Grant.
