Week in review: Beer bans and hoaxes; Facebook pulls in serious adspend; TV’s terminal list; Hack attacks
So who had a good week, and who had a bad week?
Like Santa Claus, we’re totting up who’s been naughty and who’s been nice.
From dunces corner to Singing Corner
First into our new dunce’s corner, the senior management from Carlton Draught beer, who canned a perfectly good set of ads for a second time. Which was a pity as we’d only just spotted their resemblance to 1980s British children’s TV. And we’ve been humming the jingle all week.
Congrats Mumbrella! Very cool. If you were American it would be your lead news piece.
“a whopping $500,000 spend on Facebook ads”
