A few weeks back you may have noticed we had a federal election. At the time I asked whether MADtowners would be interested on my thoughts surrounding the election campaign and a few people said ‘yes’ so what the heck, here it is. I know they say when you find yourself in a hole,...
Read MoreDear AADC, we need to talk. Well, you may not, but I do. Because fuck, that’s what I do. Endlessly. Sometimes needlessly. Incessantly even. But this time it’s important. To me at least. You see, we’ve been together for about thirty years now. When we first met, you were everything to me. Going to...
Read MoreLike any good, (and by ‘good’ we mean ‘bad’), reality show, Wednesday night’s AADC AGM had it all. There was some (admittedly mild) carrying on, a token hot guy, (yeah, we’re looking at you Matt), a potential King Ding-a-ling, a tribal vote, and a plot twist the size of Dirk’s Diggler that no one...
Read MoreThe gang at KOJO have knocked it out of the park with their latest achievement at the Sundance Film Festival, with their work featured in a whopping four films on show at the iconic film festival. It’s pretty impressive considering only six Aussie films were on show there, and KOJO worked on four of...
Read MoreAt last year’s AADC Awards, you’d have to say the star of the show was the quite shitly named BlackBocksJamShopSomethingOrOther agency… the coming together of local agencies blackbocks and Jamshop a while back.

Read MoreWell, that was quite a night (and morning) then. There were drinks, drinks, people drinking and more drinks, with a few awards thrown in for good measure. Not many, mind you, but a few. We’ve been going to these things since they didn’t cost $180. Since about twice as many people went. Since they...
Read MoreLast week more shit hit the fan in the local industry when the new state government announced they were ditching the Motor Accident Commission. The government explained it was a natural result of privatising the compulsory third party bit (the bit that makes the money), and only being left with the bit that does...
Read MoreWe don’t want the new MADtown to look like The KWP Show with our first few stories all about them, but hey, they moved offices, they threw a party, and they invited us, so fuck it, we’re writing about it. Want to see more stories about other stuff? Then send us some. Or better...
Read MoreIt’s the brand spanking new South Australian Tourism Campaign that promises to ‘Reward Wonder’, but the truth is, after the launch of the new campaign last night at the Art Gallery, I’m mostly wondering what the fuck is going on? Not because the campaign isn’t any good mind you, I’m just not exactly sure...
Read MoreAdelaide advertising legend Andrew Killey ended up in a bit of a shit show last week which resulted in him resigning from the SA Tourism Commission Board only six months into the 12 month contract he was awarded in May. Back then, there was a bit of hoo ha about his appointment because it...
