Scamp points us to Gwen Yip's blog (scroll all the way down and start at the bottom) - the story of her adventures looking for a job in UK advertising. It's fascinating, original, charming and smart. If her works half as good as her blog I can't understand why no-one's snapped her up.
That is so beautiful. I don't know why but it made me think about the advertising media - I mean Campaign and Creative Review and so on. I don't work in advertising but I always used to buy those titles because I thought that's where the new stuff was. I haven't bought either for ages. I suppose it's because all the beautiful stuff is now right here on my computer...

Wow that's really really cool. Good-luck Gwen!

This is one of the most engaging, creative blogs that I have seen. I posted some thoughts direct to Gwen, but for those of us in the industry I think that we should really try to make sure that her blog gets seen. It's great stuff.

Thank you so much for all of you!
Here come my works in advertising, I personally think they are more than half as good as the blog.
