Monday, March 7, 2011. Just learned there's no more Swisster. I think this site lasted just a few months longer than I did. Posted by Greg Christensen. March 15, 2011 at 9:24 PM.

Great Creative. Neutral Country.: January 2010

Saturday, January 30, 2010. I can't find a worthy image for this. I learned a new French idiom today:. No arms. No chocolate.". I'm not even sure what that means. But I'm going to start saying it all the time. Posted by Greg Christensen. Friday, January 29, 2010. Friday night I decided to introduce my kids to Risk (actually it was Lux. It was like being in a Greek drama where the son returns to dethrone his father. I am sorry, My People. Posted by Greg Christensen. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Were I cert...

Great Creative. Neutral Country.: December 2009
http://greatcreativeneutralcountry.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 30, 2009. When I first arrived in Geneva, one of our clients was Baboo airlines. About a month into the job, their holding company forced them to consolidate agencies and vendors, and the account was sent to Saatchi and Saatchi, here in town. These are a couple of the current billboards. I rather like them. I think they do exactly what EasyJet's ads. Posted by Greg Christensen. Thursday, December 24, 2009. Burning through the waffles.

Thursday, June 24, 2010. After two years in Switzerland where every bill is either paid online or in cash at La Poste, using checks as a form of currency seems really lame and Third-Worldish. Posted by Greg Christensen. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Atticus on the Outside. If you're interested, you can read the original piece here. Posted by Greg Christensen. Thursday, June 10, 2010. Unpacking a box-load of books I'd kept in storage, I found the following note to myself. Nope Never bought the dog. When Article...

Great Creative. Neutral Country.: Makin' Ads Abroad
http://greatcreativeneutralcountry.blogspot.com/2010/07/makin-ads-abroad.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Since returning to the States, I've had a lot of requests for advice on getting a job overseas. To answer most of those questions, I wrote an ebook. Click here to download. Hopefully, it's more useful than self-indulgent. Enjoy. Posted by Greg Christensen. This is really nice. I agree with almost everything in here. Hope it inspires many to follow in our footsteps! July 6, 2010 at 10:47 PM. Ah do I detect undertones to some of these posts? Someone you crossed in geneva . I have che...

http://greatcreativeneutralcountry.blogspot.com/2010/06/not-reason-i-left-but.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Not the reason I left, but. I noticed that my old gig in Geneva is now listed on LinkedIn. I read the job description which included the following. I would add that "The real test of any agency is it's. Ability to spellcheck. Especially if it believes is. Doing whatever it takes to hire a new copywriter.". Posted by Greg Christensen. Nice They really do need an English copywriter, dont they? June 8, 2010 at 11:47 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Waterfall in the City.

Great Creative. Neutral Country.: February 2010
http://greatcreativeneutralcountry.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. I recently passed through the airport in Brussels, Belgium. Although I didn't get to visit the city, I did take note of a few Brussels-related branding opportunities in the terminal. For example. The M&M's candy dispenser incoproates the city's Atomium. Landmark. Nice job. Makes me want some gigantic M&M's. The Coca-Cola vending machine also makes use of a Brussels icon: the Manneken Pis. Coke is fantastic with design (check out the Fast Company.

Great Creative. Neutral Country.: May 2010

Sunday, May 30, 2010. Epilogue, Part 4: Swixas. Even though Texas is one of the United States and Switzerland is in the middle of Europe, they both have very autonomous attitudes towards everyone else around them. They're affiliated with their neighbors only by convenience. Both Texas and Switzerland have flags that are iconic enough to set them apart from their neighbors. Between Stetsons and lederhosen, they both have a very iconic dress code (even if the general population doesn't participate). Is tod...
