Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

What do you get when you cross live comedy with social media?


Nope? I’m not sure either, and I was there. Adam Hills uses the audience as his source of content (as we are far more interesting than celebs…hmmm). Whilst parts of the show were quite funny, with the occasional numpty being ridiculed, watching ‘our Adam’ tweeting to get responses to his set took it too far. If I had wanted to watch someone on their phone I’d have sat in carphone warehouse – although I’d still not have escaped being ridiculed no doubt!

The point made here is that there’s a time and a place for tweets – and this wasn’t it, for as one sharp witted soul exclaimed ‘why don’t you just ask us? A great point, since we’d all paid £25 for the honour and felt rather short changed. At least we all clubbed towards his phone bill for the duration of his tour.

    Classic case of shoe-horning in the use of media when there is no real point but rather just because it's a hot topic

    I agree, it's just trying to look media trendy.
