Hello Team Creative,

Are you able to share any examples of brands and interesting campaigns that demonstrate making the complex simple?

I’m thinking:
EDS / HP - Cat Herders
McCafé - Coffee adverts eg Flat White. That progressed to the Ball Pit + Kerching adverts


Thanks in advance.

I feel like “we make it easy” is every brief from the last 20 years. There are a million examples, not many of them much good. This is the brief every client asks for.

Heres my preview of your next few briefs after “it’s so easy:” You got yer “Why would you go anywhere else??” …then after that is “This is so cheap, I feel like Im getting away with something!” and then finally, “Ive got to do this NOW!”

I am searching for anyone who was like me 6 years ago; sitting in public accounting, while secretly working with my small book of clients on the side hoping to get the nerve to leave. I want to connect with accountants that are ready to make the transition from employee to entrepreneur.

If that’s you – we should chat! I would love to share my experience with you, so you can avoid some pretty common pitfalls I made.

Reposting from litigation bowl. Question about patent term extension. Let's say the patent covers i) product A and ii) A in combination with B. PTE is granted based on the combination of A and B. This is the first marketing approval of A. Would the extended patent cover someone using combination A and C? I don't think so but would love to have input.

Is it the same answer if someone else was using A, B, and C?

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
