Thats the beauty of marketing, you can reuse old ideas, if anything, its encouraged to use some element if not complete marketing strategies / messaging from [...]

Seasons Greetings – warning for the silly season

SMSU — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:59:28 +0000

Perfectly silly comic to go with the silly season, been out shopping like crazy these few days and haven’t had the chance to sit down for a proper comic strip. Decided to finally get my act together and do one just before Christmas Eve (in Australia, we’re like one day ahead of you Americans). Anyways, [...]

Argh, bloody Telstra and their faulty phone lines!

Is it just me or does twitter seem completely useless on so many different levels. Is it truly necessary to broadcast your life to thousands of people you don’t even know?

Well, I’m making a big statement here, claiming that everyone is exploited by their Boss in one way or another but heck thats business right? I’m sure that running a business is tough, especially with all the crap happening around the world and the government down your throat. But keep in mind that the people [...]

Like an Anchorman on TV

You do WHAT for a living?

SMSU — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:23:59 +0000

You’d be amazed how many times this has happened to me on a weekly / daily basis. Its worse when your clients asked you the very same question, when they are the ones who hired you in the first place…. Welcome to the funky world of search marketing

Trying to work out this Webcomic thing

SMSU — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:16:37 +0000
