A Kenyan advertising dudes take on Kenyan advertising. Thursday, April 25, 2013. WHAT'S IN A CABINET SECRETARY? I am loving the new debate on the streets. The debate about what kind of qualifications someone should have to be a cabinet secretary. Should a doctor head health? Should an accountant head finance? Heck, should a tourist head tourism. Brilliant stuff I tell you, this country is alive and kicking. This sparked a thought – what kind of person should head an ad agency? I actually believe that gre...

A Kenyan advertising dudes take on Kenyan advertising. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Are we under too much deadline pressure? Are we too stupid to realize that everyone is on the www and plagiarism will easily be spotted? Of course the client could care less and did not give three skid marks about the creative war that was erupting.
