Diary of a GRUEN Pitch

By Nick Ikonomou on 30 Apr 2009

Last night, BCM picked up some hard earned plastic-wear on ‘The Pitch’ segment of The Gruen Transfer.

Having said that, we were thrilled to secure Todd’s vote on [...]

New work from BCM: Zymil “Loving You”

By Pete Luetjens on 23 Apr 2009

We’ve recently launched a great integrated campaign for Parmalat brand Zymil. As you may know, Zymil is an easy-to-digest milk -- a great dairy alternative for those who don’t agree with regular milk.

What the bloody hell were they thinking?

News has recently come to light that Tourism Australia is again in the crosshairs with an advertisement which forms part of a high profile campaign. Despite having awarded the $180M account to a new agency in the middle of last year, after 2006’s much maligned campaign featuring Lara Bingle, it seems this industry body is still [...]

Is the ‘written’ word in decline?

Twitter + bakery = BakerTweet. Now I’ve seen everything!

By Pete Luetjens on 08 Apr 2009

I’ve seen some bizarre uses for Twitter in the last few months (augmented reality t-shirt anyone?) but this one takes the cake (quite literally). If it wasn’t for the fact it’s now 8 days into April, I thought I would have been well fooled by this one. It’s called BakerTweet. It’s so simple, it’s almost genius: BakerTweet [...]
