"Yes"

"REALLY?"

"Of course. Doesn't everybody?"

I faff about with some papers.

"Ok. Listen to this" I stop when I hear the giggles and the swearing and the gasp.

"GASP!"

SEE! I told I heard one.

"People really get you to do stuff like that?"

I thought for a moment.

"Part of my job is to make (CUE gentle Irish lilt) a pile of auld shite (back to self) sound quite interesting."

This mildly witty explanation prompted 4 days of hilarity (estimate) and a debate amongst the 234 strong creative/agency/company/post production team (Exaggeration).

Do you know what happened? No. So I suppose I better tell you.

This $30billion company chose me, without bothering to mention it to anyone, even me, got their creatives to write a script (DRUM ROLL)

FOR ME.

Fabluss!

Am I bragging? No. I played no part in the process.

The next time you spend money on branding, marketing, SEO or on that all important "How to take your career to the next level" seminar, ask the expert or experts how they can help you get what happened to me to happen.

I'm going to learn English one of these days. It would help me when I stop by this place.

This could be spun into a lengthy piece about market differentiators and unique selling points... full of buzz-words and marketplace analysis... but that would be quite redundant as that's exactly the point being made (and being made very well).

With a little twist to the meaning of the Men At Work song, the solution to more work, the key to having folks write scripts just for you is to:

Be good Be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good be good
Be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good be good be good
Be good
Be good be good.


B (I'm doin' OK)
