What a week in advertising.
First, Portfolio night 7 is cancelled in London cos none of the agencies can be arsed to host it.
Then Jai & Wal split up, with Wal hinting that he may be leaving London.
Now Scamp decides he cant be bothered to blog anymore either.
Next thing you know Dave Trott will turn up on Britain's got talent, Morris dancing to dub-step in an attempt to launch a new career out of the ad game.
London, hub of the ad world (outside the US i guess), seems to be on its knees at the moment.
More than ever.
So it is with regret, but less regret than i ever imagined, that i am pulling out of the race.
I salute those who keep at it. God speed you brave warriors.
Fin.

Sad news, everyone does seem on a low. Are you pulling out of the blog or out of the ad game in total?
That old chesnut... he's only up for sympathy here kids... that won't get you anywhere!
You can't help yourself :P
We tried really hard to get PN in London. It's a city close to our hearts, but to be honest, it was eaier to get Beirut and Buenos Aires than it was London. It makes me feel a bit sad inside, we'll do our best next year, but without an agency stepping up, it is impossible to do. London must want it.
@ Adam: I'm pulling out altogether. Just feels like the right thing to do right now. Never say never though.
@ Mike: You know i'm serious, stop being facetious :p
@ Ignacio: I know you did, it's quite shameful that no one stepped up, and i think it says a lot about the current ad scene in London.
May the force be with you.
O dear, another drop out. Harsh words, but true. Keep plugging away and if you're good enough, you WILL find yourself making shit ads for the first few briefs. Until you crack the big time.
Friends of mine are in their 9th month placement at a certain agency. Give credit where it is due. As for Wal and scamp, don’t let your early retirement be influenced by them. Simon’s still in the game, he’s just moved on to bigger and better things. As for Wal, well, you read his blog I’m sure.
Are we going to be seeing you in a McDonalds drive through soon?
Best Wishes.
