  • A free-pitch confessional prompts some questions

    4 April 2002

    After 12 years of refusing to get involved in free pitches (except for a couple of charity projects) I allowed my group to get seduced into not one, but two recently. Both were for decent clients, but having committed the requisite resources I now realise why I have avoided them for so long, and it comes back to your Trite-minded article (DW 7 March).

  • Company naming debacle is turning into Euro trash

    4 April 2002

    The worst company name is Aviva, the new name for CNGU. It sounds like it should be selling women's sanitary products.Increasingly, companies are discarding their old names and think that by choosing a 'Euro-sounding' name, this will breathe life into their brand and win new custom.The process smacks of desperation, and if anything seems to weaken their credibility.Kim Sillitoekimsillitoe@hotmail.com

    4 April 2002

By drawing attention to it now, The Sorrell Foundation co-founder John Sorrell is only looking to build on what exists by calling for a London design festival.
