I just wanted to let any of the Broadsheet community know that Casey Armstrong, well known in the US for building growth in companies and Patrick Vlaskovits (NYT Bestseller) are doing a talk in Dublin at the NDRC on June 8 at the  NDRC, Digital Exchange, Crane Street, Dublin 8 on Growth. It’s rare we get talks on marketing from the US that isn’t about selling bog wood art to the diaspora so I thought it might interest people…

Bob ‘The Ad Contrarian’ Hoffman opened the 2014 ITV Spotlight Lecture last March – a debate on the failed predictions of advertising experts over the past decade, with particular focus on the social media marketing of brands, to wit:.

..there are people in our business who believe that consumers are ‘in love’ with brands. They believe consumers want to have ‘relationships’ with brands. they want to have ‘brand experiences’ and be ‘personally engaged with brands’. These people actually believe this. You go to their Twitter profile: ‘I’m passionate about brands!’ You’re what? Dude, get a fucking girlfriend.

You’ll like Bob.

Long time reader, occasional contributor and new Gifts Direct employee here.We just launched our hangover hamper just in time for [Redacted]. Like the fools we are we made one too many.

We can give the hamper to whoever has the best traditional hangover solution? Drinking water, abstinence and moderation excluded.
We can deliver the hamper to the winner tomorrow (if in Dublin, or shortly after if outside Dublin?)…

The Hampover goes to Ahh Feck (“Alka Seltzer, fry with tea, Berocca, Dioralyte, s***e, shower and a shave In that order. You’ll be rights as rain”)
Although I don’t drink tea or shave, this is obviously the correct way  to deal with a hangover. Thanks all.
