She's gone kids!


Friday 27th was a day of celebration at our 162 Collins St office, as we bid farewell to marvelous Mishy.

Scroll back through the posts on this blogs and you're sure to come across many Mishy moments. She was the self appointed Mum of our agency and we will miss her dearly.

We kicked off the day with a huge brekky smorgasbord, ventured out to Trunk for a cocktail enhanced lunch, before gathering around the Wunder-couches for final farewells.

Now all that remains of her is an empty chair and a whole lotta memories.

Why Is Australia Always Winning?

The Wunderman Creative Director's Conference 2010 was held on the rooftop of the Palais Royale in Cannes during the International Advertising Festival, aka the Cannes Lions.

Matt Batten, Creative Director of Wunderman Sydney, was invited to attend and give a presentation on the topic of "Why Is Australia Always Winning?" to 35 of his Creative Director colleagues from around the world.

This video is a 4-minute cut down of the original hour-long presentation, using the same visuals and an abridged story.

RANSOM!

The evil gnomenappers have made contact. They have made Wundernome create a Facebook page, clearly under duress for his name is mispelled and they have mistakenly claimed he likes a TV show about a man who drinks his own urine instead of water carried by the cameramen.


Even worse, they have placed Wundernome up for bid on eBay.

Clearly this is they way they intend to extract money from us for his safe return. But I ask you, would you trust someone who steals purple gnomes to actually deliver the goods after receiving payment? No, I think they'd just take the negative comment to their seller's name. After all, they are evil.


But they have already made a grave error. They have set the starting bid at $20. Wundernome only cost $15 at Bunnings. And we really haven't gotten to know him that well for his value to have increased by 33%.

Cosmopolitan.

Emotive.

Connecting.

Eclectic.

Farewell Big John

Today, John Campbell-Bruce leaves us. Despite his pretentious double-barrel surname, he's been a valuable asset to Wunderman Sydney on the Nokia account. The big man has brought his own flavour of culture to the office and been a pleasure to work with.

We have called his future employer and given him a terrible reference, so there is hope yet that things will not work out well for him outside of Wunderman.

Here, he gives an in-depth handover to Sophie who will take up the reins on Nokia (or as Sophie put it, an in-depth 'hangover').

MISSING

Wundernome has been gnomenapped.

He went missing on the morning of Monday 2nd August 2010 and was last seen in the vicinity of Basement Level 4 at 35 Clarence Street, Sydney.

Today, this photo arrived in the mail:


What evil person has perpetrated this vile act? Wundernome never hurt anybody.

We are offering a reward for information leading to the apprehension of the perpetrator/s and the safe return of Wundernome. Please send information to emily.murison@wunderman.com

You may remain anonymous if desired.
