Another week, another agency falls victim to a social media backlash, with their Facebook page and website being overtaken by arsey members of the public demanding that their clients pull their business.
Now if you’d called your agency Iris, you’d have thought you would have literally seen it coming – unless they need laser eye surgery – but is the cycling fiasco a touch of karma for Karmarama?
Maybe someone who works there was pretty naughty in a previous life – as they say, you pay for your actions eventually. Surely not Nicola Mendelsohn though, she looks like butter wouldn’t melt?
I’m no expert on these matters – the nearest I get to two wheels is ogling the Olympic cycle teams’ thighs – but I do know one thing: you cross cyclists, especially London ones, at your peril and if you like having your own teeth, it’s often best to look the other way…
I actually saw two cyclists come to blows once after one knocked the other off his bike by going through a red light at a pelican crossing. Bizarrely, the victim had been trying to cross the road by actually walking alongside his bike, and that’s not something you witness every day.
Anyway, I digress, as I do have a slight confession to make about these recent social media outings. You see, with the launch of Busty’s Direct Sales & Marketing – BDSM – on the cards, I’ve decided to eliminate a few rivals along the way.
And what better way than a little bit of infiltration? Iris on Benefits? My idea of course. Ride-smart.org? Ditto.
The thing is, it’s so easy to get internships at agencies these days – especially if you’ve got 36DDs and don’t mind not ever getting paid – that I’ve been flitting around agency-land all summer planting little seeds of destruction. Well, I had to swallow a lot of seed to get the bloody jobs in the first place, so I view it as payback time.
And soon, there won’t be an agency in town which hasn’t been ‘Busted’. Then, and only then I may add, will I unleash some BDSM on the world.
The question is, will your agency be the next victim?
