...Ogilvy - The Changemakers
- Adrian Zambardino, Planning Partner, Ogilvy
"Through marketing and communications, brands have the power to influence what we buy day in, day out. More importantly, brands have the power to influence our behaviours and what we think and what we feel about issues such as sustainability....
If I was looking back in 30 years time, I'd like to see brands that really campaigned for something, not just for people to buy their product, but really campaign for issues and really change the way society thinks, what it feels about sustainability and how it behaves in the way it uses products"
- Stuart Smith CEO EAME, Ogilvy Public Relations
Hear more from the Ogilvy changemakers on their video Tomorrow's Company. Also, as a side note, I loved this article in Forbes, 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Changemakers'.

...Ogilvy Earth & My Ecolabel Project
Nothing inspires me more than seeing the advertising, communications and PR industry using its immense power to help make brands better, so that together, we can make our world better. One of the most famous and successful agencies in the business, Ogilvy, has launched Ogilvy Earth, their global sustainability marketing consultancy. Check out some of the videos on the Ogilve Earth UK Youtube Channel including 'the kinder spring clean' a project I recently voiced for the European Commission's EU Ecolabel - see above! I just love an eco-project :)

...walkin' the line.
Just rollin' with the studio theme of the last post, consider this. If
an inspiring young studio owner called Sam Phillips hadn't delivered the speech
below - or at least some non Hollywood version of it - to a young Johnny Cash, we might never have known the legendary Man In Black. Frankly, just the
passing thought of missing out on those mean and moody stares, the
sexual chemistry with June and foot stomping, yee-haw duets makes me want to Cry,
Cry, Cry...
"If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out
there in that gutter dying,
and you had time to sing one song. Huh?
One song that people would remember before you're dirt.
One song that would let God know how you felt
about your time here on Earth.
One song that would sum you up.
You tellin' me that's the song you'd sing?
That same tune we hear on the radio all day,
about your peace within,
and how it's real, and how you're gonna shout it?
Or... would you sing somethin' different.
Somethin' real. Somethin' you felt.
Cause I'm telling you right now,
that's the kind of song people want to hear.
That's the kind of song that truly saves people.
It ain't got nothin to do with believin' in God....
It has to do with believin' in yourself."
- Sam Philips to Johnny Cash, Walk The Line

...cities/studios/agencies!
What quiet-living coastal girl doesn't love a trip to the big city once in a while? It's especially fun visiting super-slick studios, producers and working with a top creative agency too! Later this week, I'm heading to fabulous Finiflex Studios in Edinburgh. I'll also be recording a project with The Gate Worldwide and then seeking out the finest purveyors of cappuccino - not easy to come by out in the sticks! All in a day's work....
