banks have changed

banks have changed... so they say. talk of a change: now everyone seems to love their banks. must be the rush up to valentine's day.

how silly can corporate copy writing get?

anyone for office table football?

i've found the ideal place to work. no place. all places. i mean, in today's world, we can work from anywhere, can't we? the only serious reason to go to the office would be to play table-football, wouldn't it?

my dream has almost come true, in this hilarious video. almost.
the truth is closer to that of a morning rat race to catch a desk by the window. to hope you won't be pulled into a meeting (and lose that place by the window). to pack and unpack your little black backpack, meandering from open space to open space in the search of a desk for the rest of the day. oh, and if you can't find one, that's ok, you can even work from a teleboutique!
sounds too good to be true? mhmh.
next time you bump into someone who really works there, ask them what if feels like. chances are, that unless you meet the pretty girl in the video, you'll want to work elsewhere. the ideal place. no place.

copy's complètement pleins!

save the data — le défi de pascal

récemment, une connaissance professionelle, apparemment active dans les nouveaux médias, m'invitait à suivre un webinar à une heure inconfortable.
lui ayant demandé de l'enregistrer pour pouvoir le suivre ultérieurement, j'ai eu le plaisir de recevoir ceci. je n'ai pas osé lui demander ce que c'était, ni à quoi ça servait.

noh. noh pour neder over hembeek. certains y croient, y voient, la vynil valley de la chimie internationale. d'autres, résignés, attendent que l'on leur écrive, qu'on ne les oublie pas. on ne les oublie pas. neder over hembeek...

dexia's rebranding... wait anxi..eux!

in the run up to dexia's rebranding, no one knows what the new bank's name might be. some experts are puzzling (i just saw a list of so-called potential names i found hard to believe might have been created by an agency), others have no clue (that's me ;-).

one thing's for sure: they will need to reassure their future clients they're back in proper business. losing trust at 20 million euros a week can't last for long.

see you on thursday.
