(TrendHunter.com) This is a trend which I don’t really understand how it happened. Sir Bob Gelfof, has teamed up with Mulberry, a leading designer of leather goods, to create the ‘Bob Bag’. The press released touts it as the ultimate man bag it is said to “have lot of compartments”.

POA so I can’t imagine it is that…

(TrendHunter.com) In Arlington, VA, a suburb of Washington, DC, a cab company called enviroCAB is putting out a fleet of all hybrid cabs. It says it is the first hybrid cab company in the country.

“The county regulates the fares so it’s exactly the same cost as any other taxi in Arlington County,” said Hans Hess, ow…

LONDON – Jude Bridge, marketing communications director at Marks & Spencer, is to leave the company as part of a wide shake-up of senior management.

Three advertising firms, including Bartle Bogle Hegarty, feature in this year’s Sunday Times Best 100 Companies survey.

While we’re on the subject of Obama ads, it turns out that one of the sleeping girls featured in Hillary Clinton’s “3 a.m.” ad is an Obama supporter. Oops! To be fair, the stock footage in the ad was shot nine years ago, when Casey Knowles was 8 years old. (The Clinton campaign bought the footage from Getty Images.) But Knowles, now 17, has been campaigning for Obama, and denounces the “3 a.m.” spot as an exercise in “fear-mongering.” The Obama camp has been in touch with Knowles, and they’ve been having a laugh or two. “I mentioned that we should make a counter ad, me and Obama, against Hillary,” she says. “They thought that was really funny. They actually might take me up on it.”

I know it’s a bit silent here and believe-you-me I wish it could be otherwise, but I’ve just moved houses and I’m still waiting for my internet provider to come and hook me up. My neighbors have secured their wifi, so I can’t leech (which I would never do, obviously, I just scanned for it out of curiosity) and I’m deprived of online living until the 14th of March.

Work is getting pretty busy too, with the TechDays coming up this week where I need to present 3 days in a row for 6 hours a day. Took me a little preparation time as well to get it all worked out.

Sorry for any delays. I’ve got a few posts nearly done, like the book reviews and a few cool marketing stunts, but I lack the time to style them in a way I feel comfortable with.

I’ll get to it as soon as I can. 🙂

Take care everyone and have a splendid day!
