Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
“Paul has a global influence. Because he’s… Paul.”
Some of the best, unsolicited feedback I’ve ever received and from someone I really respect. 🏆
It might sound sad… but starting at 6 tonight, with the office emptying around me, I was able to focus and write a really really good 1st draft of a 2024 digital strategy for our biggest client.
Love that rare feeling of being personally hyper-productive.
Advertisers: We will show Paul the EXACT kind of shoe he’d love. He’s a 12-Yr-old girl, right?
Me: Clicks link. Instant disappointment that they don’t have an adult men’s 12.5. Wasted budget for them.
Target better, people!
#GlamorousNetflix low-key reading brands’ performative allyship.
Perfectly shows why “No campaigns about us, without us” is so important #WPPUnite.
When your client buys you 1.2kg of Haribo because they “know you like them”, you have a good client.
Social agency on #CoronationStreet - “Heroic Red Banana”.
I feel seen.

is he actually *trying* to get rid of advertisers? – at San Francisco, CA
Now we’re entering the time of year where suppliers wine and dine us more and send us gifts…

What a mess.
He’s not a genius. He’s not even a good business person. He’s just rich and entitled.
To recap for those Brits who went to bed early last night:
- Elon Musk sent a bad email to staff telling them Twitter could go bankrupt and they needed to return to office fastcompany.com/90809471/the…
- A Twitter lawyer went on Slack and told the staff not to do it and rebel
Well, that’s my final client requesting to pause #TwitterAds due to brand safety concerns - and this is a high-spending, household name client.
Business imploding for Twitter.
With so many UK advertisers pausing activity to “respect the queen”, the only online ads I’m seeing are 100% trash.
Equity release. Counterfeit goods. Cash-for-gold/houses/records/cars etc.
Grim. It helps nobody.
Dear Ad Targeting,
I know I buy a lot of toys but I don’t have any actual kids. Please stop with the back-to-school messages.
Also; it’s still fucking JULY.
Thanks,
Paul
FFS this Pinterest sponsorship on #DragRaceAllStars7!
Why do so many recruiters think that me, an openly gay man, evident even on my LinkedIn profile, would be willing to take a job in Dubai, Singapore or Qatar?!
Mind boggling. Check your privilege.
WPP Unite and Wavemaker Unite did an AMAZING job at #PrideInLondon today.
Not only did we show our pride on digital billboards and installations around London, but those marching were… it was great.
The organisers are heroes!
