Sproule Leaving AKQA SF, Heading to NYC? (Updated: Yes)

Hmm, well this little memo purportedly written by AKQA chairman Tom Bedecarre seems to indicate that the WPP-owned agency’s San Francisco managing director Stuart Sproule is moving on from the Bay Area and heading to our home turf. We’re of course trying to verify the matter with said agency, but here’s what we got below, verbatim:

“Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh. Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day, ‘ay ‘ay ‘ay…

After 12 years of loyal and dedicated service to AKQA, Stuart Sproule has made the reluctant decision to pursue a new career and life opportunity in New York City. Fulfilling a long-held desire to return to Madison Avenue where he started his advertising career at JWT, Stuart will be joining TBWA as President of their global Digital Arts Network, which includes a team of 700 digital specialists across 18 TBWA offices.

February 28th will be Stuart’s last day at AKQA and because he has been busy making plans to move his family to New York, he won’t be back in San Francisco for several weeks — at which time I will be hosting a farewell reception so that we can properly send off Stuart with our best wishes and thanks for his many contributions to AKQA.

Until we meet once more, Stuart, here’s wishing you a happy voyage — to your new — home!

Best regards,
Tom


Tom Bedecarre
Chairman”

Sproule, along with several others, was promoted by AKQA last year and took on the role of managing director, international operations & talent.

Update: It’s confirmed and Sproule joins Digital Arts Network on March 1 and will be based in New York. See statement after the jump.

BLOKK cria alternativa ao Lorem Ipsum para quem não entende latim

Volta e meia surge algum tipo de gerador de Lorem Ipsum para tornar a criação de um layout um pouco mais divertida. Seja com uma pegada hipster, um tributo à sensibilidade de Samuel L. Jackson ou simplesmente um Lebowski Ipsum, opções não faltam nem para os fãs do Mussum. Para não correr o risco de se distrair – ou distrair o cliente – do que realmente importa, agora já existe o BLOKK, uma alternativa que substitui o texto por um tracejado.

Criado pela Dinamo Services, o BLOKK pode ser utilizado para “zombarias rápidas e wireframing para clientes que não entendem latim”.

Cá entre nós, o BLOKK também é perfeito para quem sofre de memória curta ou falta de atenção, e acaba se esquecendo de trocar o Lorem pelo texto verdadeiro – acredite, já vi isso acontecer em jornais – ou não percebe que a versão final não foi salva. Enfim, além de ser muito legal, esta fonte me parece bem útil.

blokk2

Para ver funcionando na prática, como fizemos na imagem acima, você pode utilizar o Redactor, um projeto do desenvolvedor Cullen MacDonald que aplica o BLOKK no texto de qualquer site. Agora, se você quer explorar outras alternativas, o web designer Christian Naths criou o Redacted, uma iniciativa open source com variações bem interessantes do original.

Sparks Splits from Union, Heads to Ogilvy

Not sure why we received so many tips about this (and from different IPs, mind you), but yes, sources familiar with the matter have confirmed that Bryce Sparks, who we’ve been told worked as account director on the Axe, Wisk and CREA accounts while at Toronto-based Union, has joined up with Ogilvy Toronto this week. We’ve been told the parting was amicable between the shop formerly known as CP+B Toronto and Sparks, who spent the majority of his ad career at DDB Canada, working out of Vancouver most recently as global account director on the Canadian Tourism Commission biz.
