Here are my past musings on ‘Musings’ I like to write and talk too much i'm sorry!

Away Kit Fire

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

If you want viral spread why not team up with an already well establish band, who’s also out to push their new single, double win for Umbro & Kasabian.

Nicely shot too, with obvious player tunnel / dressing room connotations within the imagery and subcontext

Nice tag line too = “Tailored by England”

I think this is a nice piece of buzz marketing before the “Official launch of the product at some point today (Tuesday 9th Feb 2010)”

Let’s just hope England lives up to the rep behind that shirt, looking forward to seeing the online creative over the next few weeks.

Musing done.

And So The Time Has Come…

I would like to thank all these people for my personal development over the last 3.5 years at Chrysalis / Global Radio.

I'm going to miss all the crazy / innovative and creative stuff we managed to achieve together.

I'm off to a new agency, a new city and a new challenge I wish all my old colleagues the best is their current / future roles where ever in the world they maybe.

I'm going to write another post over xmas about my future plans but for now I wish you all a Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year.

Continuing my love off all things white came across this little gem on the excellent missionbicycle.com site.

White White White From Mission Cycles

The site has a most excellent selection of bikes and a great builder, just a shame I can't get one of these shipped to the UK.. probably a good thing I would of been a good £500 worse off right now.

I haven't owned a bike for such a long time but I'm really craving after the fresh air flowing through my hair do.. esp when I finally manage to get myself to Bristol.. look out park street I'm gonna be fixie flying down your road!

( Ah that just gave me an idea ... rubs hands )

Oh and here's the inverted bike Night Rider ... nice!
