Permission to fail

I’ve been a long term admirer of Wieden and Kennedy and came across this video of it’s founders Dan Wieden and David Kennedy. It’s an interesting piece in which they discuss the origins of W+K as well as some of the ideas they believe in, such as ‘permission to fail’ and the 3 ordered priorities of the agency and why that works for them: 1. It’s about the work,  2. It’s about the client/agency relationship and 3. It’s about the people that make up the agency.

Interesting stuff that will resonate with almost everybody who cares about what they do, and who they do it with.

It’s been a while

More posts to follow soon. been a bit quiet lately and taking in a lot of stuff by other folks. In the meantime, a bit of insight into some of the stuff I’m into at the moment can be found here http://www.netvibes.com/onefour69 - which has a lot of (unintentional) similarities to the day job site. By the way we’re gearing up for a bit of a ‘realignment’ on that front…watch this space. See ya soon.

An interesting article about digital design - “When you create a utility, you’re creating something that gives people time back,” said Nick Law, CCO for North America at R/GA. “It becomes less about information as pollution and more about information to help get through life”
