I find all the senior managers especially helpful, always leaning over my desk, suggesting new things to try. Gosh, it really is such an inspiring place to be an intern. Tim is continuing to be quite a gentleman – complimenting me on my clothes and giving me his time. I think I might be developing a crush on him. I’ve had a thing for older men ever since Daddy left mummy for that BITCH in Switzerland! God, those summer holidays in the villa by Lake Geneva. BORING! Thank god I don’t have to do that anymore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, less about me!!! I’ve got news from Fudge and I can’t wait to tell you!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXCITING STUFF!!!  we’ve opened for business in World of Warcraft (Tim didn’t explain what that was, but I expect that it’s like World of Leather or Furniture Village, but selling weapons to important people instead of sofas to proles). Anyway, whatever! It says here: “We’ll soon be selling advertising campaigns to wizards, elves and paladins, helping them to fulfil their mystical KPIs and improving ROI on heroic quests”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m afraid I don’t understand a word of that!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29360821-115997794190903081?l=fullfudge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fullfudge.blogspot.com/feeds/115997794190903081/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29360821&amp;postID=115997794190903081' title='47 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29360821/posts/default/115997794190903081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29360821/posts/default/115997794190903081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fullfudge.blogspot.com/2006/10/fudge-news-world-of-warcraft-winner.html' title='Fudge news - World of Warcraft winner!!!'/><author><name>Spout</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09416277519768095364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>47</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29360821.post-115928812081358392</id><published>2006-09-26T09:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-26T09:28:40.826-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New Intern Writes!!!!</title><content type='html'>Hi – I’m Saskia the new intern and I’ve got to say I can’t understand why anyone would say that our MD is sexist or guilty of any kind of sexual harassment. He is an inspiration to me and all other employees at Fudge (but not quite as much of an inspiration as our Founder, Monsieur Goddard, of course! Hahaha!) and I REALLY hope to learn from him over the coming weeks and if I’m allowed to stay YEARS at this fabulous agency (I really want to be a copywriter as you can tell by my terse, driven writing style and mastery of punctuation). I wrote some really amazing articles about ponies for my student magazine when I was in the Sixth Form at Cheltenham Ladies College. I still compete in dressage, when I’m not beavering away at fudge!!! Infact, Daddy was kind enough to build a stable for my horse Crystal Dream in the garden behind the modest Islington flat he bought for me (it’s just an investment for him – it’s not as if he just GAVE it to me or anything you know). Tim has told me that he likes a good, hard ride too and would like to see my rising trot sometime.

Since the arrival of our M.D. Tim Soprano and his ‘crew’, we haven’t lost a single pitch. Creatively, under the stewardship of respected, award-winning Creative Director Dave Spout, we have reached new pinnacles of brilliance. Yes, I am proud to lead this flagship of innovativity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At times like this, I often think back to my childhood. As some of you may know, my natural parents were both gored to death by a boar while camping in Provence and I was raised in the wild by a tribe of economists. I know my adopted family would be proud of what we have achieved at Fudge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as my economist father, Jacques, would grunt at me in the forest “there’s always room for more noughts on your spreadsheet, son”. So, as brilliant as we are, Fudge can do more and do it at a greater profit. This is no time to relax.

One of those live action ones with cute animals. But it's real life and it happened right here in the Fudge offices. What are we talking about? Well, one of our programmers adopted a pet squirrel and has kept it in his desk for the last three months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4053/3125/320/squirrel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all began when Jay Sanghera, the lonely HTML markup-drone (you probably haven’t spoken to him – he’s the one with goatee beard, glasses and Metallica t-shirt who sits near the toilets) spotted an injured squirrel whilst walking through the local park in whatever low-rent borough he slouches back to every night (Jay, not the squirrel). Feeling pity for the poor creature Jay took him to work and secretly nursed him to health with a diet of pizza and coke. Soon the little fellow was so massively overweight that he was happy to never move from the top drawer of Jay’s workstation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you know, hygiene conditions aren’t exactly of the highest standard in the developer suite, so it’s hardly surprising that no one noticed our little extra member of staff for a while. But once Jay’s secret was out, everyone beat a path to the programmer’s desk to see his rodent pal. Which is why we’ve sacked Jay and gassed the squirrel. Now get back to work!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29360821-115211024963573745?l=fullfudge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fullfudge.blogspot.com/feeds/115211024963573745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29360821&amp;postID=115211024963573745' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29360821/posts/default/115211024963573745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29360821/posts/default/115211024963573745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fullfudge.blogspot.com/2006/07/secret-squirrel.html' title='Secret Squirrel'/><author><name>Spout</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09416277519768095364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29360821.post-115202283383007083</id><published>2006-07-04T07:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-04T07:20:33.836-07:00</updated><title type='text'>HR Faux Pas</title><content type='html'>We’ve all been having a bit of a laugh here today – our new quadriplegic HR Manager Louise Flinger nearly employed a creative wearing a pair of deck shoes!

How could they encourage tourists to go to exotic Bikini Atoll after years of nuclear weapons testing? Then our branding department came up with the answer – sell Bikini Atoll to young ‘ravers’ as the new Ibiza. A campaign in Mixmag and other media led with the line ‘Bangin’ in Bikini’ and a launch ‘rave’ DJed by Sasha, Pete Tong and Air completed the mix. As a bonus benefit for the young travelers who attended, the radiation on the islands seems to have left them with a ‘wicked’ tan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fudge Founder and Chairman Benoit Goddard said: “I’ve wanted to work with the government of my homeland and I’m sure this rebranding of a much-maligned tourist paradise is a huge success.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RICK KERNER SABOTAGE SHOW TRIALS END!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kerner electrocution incident had a new twist this week when it was discovered that Art Director Martin Shrubbery and an assortment of other design insurgents had sabotaged his Wacom tablet.

We are positioning this to the outside world as a sensible programme of cut-cutting measures, but we all know that this PURGE was a necessary WEEDING OUT THE DEAD WOOD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Shrubbery is being kept on as an example to rest of the designers.

Just take a look at the screengrab above if you doubt his guilt!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29360821-115151001257674532?l=fullfudge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fullfudge.blogspot.com/feeds/115151001257674532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29360821&amp;postID=115151001257674532' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29360821/posts/default/115151001257674532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29360821/posts/default/115151001257674532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fullfudge.blogspot.com/2006/06/shrubbery-exposed.html' title='Shrubbery Exposed!'/><author><name>Spout</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09416277519768095364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29360821.post-115133572300171125</id><published>2006-06-26T08:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-26T08:28:43.010-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Kerner Sabotage: A Message from Our Founder</title><content type='html'>Following the repeated ‘accidental’ injuries to our beloved Deputy Creative Director Rick Kerner, we have decided to begin investigating individuals within the Creative Department as possible ‘wreckers’. After the suspicious short circuit of Rick’s Wacom tablet, we now believe that there is an organised conspiracy by these pernicious saboteurs, with no loyalty to our Great Agency. We will particularly be looking at those who have expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs in confidential HR surveys or those underachievers who haven’t won an award since joining us.

To answer the brief, we came up with the ‘Happy Labs’ ATL campaign. Leading with the strapline ‘Lovin’ it in the lab’ the ads show the positive side of animal-based experimentation. One execution shows some contented rabbits poncing a fag off a scientist and another shows a laughing monkey pointing to where he’d like a scientist to slice his brain up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fudge Founder and Chairman Benoit Goddard said: “I’ve wanted to work with vivisectionists since I tortured a squirrel as a child.

How could they stimulate demand without contravening anti-commercial nanny state laws?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fudge had the answer with ‘Chav my Fag’ a rich interactive experience site hosted in the Cayman Islands. Aimed at savvy 12-15 year olds, the object of the game is to dress up your cigarette in an outrageous lower class costume. Other kids then vote for who’s got the ‘chavviest fag’ and the winner gets a year’s free supply of rough shag.

Why do I inhabit an exclusive, mind-bogglingly expensive living space while you dwell in some anonymous scum-hovel in nowheresville?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because I started the globally respected creative blueskyarative innovation agency Fudge. And you didn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't write this to make you feel small, although I understand if my words have this effect. No, I mention it to make you realise that Fudge is a result of my insatiable drive for superlative brilliance. It is a drive that is shared by all my underlings, however lowly. It is a drive that brooks no argument from such trivialities as time or space. It is a drive that makes human love seem inconsequential.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why our motto is 'Bow Down Before Fudge' and now is certainly the most exciting time in our history to grovel before us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of that excitement, perhaps a small iota of our relentless energy, will be captured by this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read it and be awed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy blue skies always,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benoit Goddard&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29360821-114962336379748622?l=fullfudge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fullfudge.blogspot.com/feeds/114962336379748622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29360821&amp;postID=114962336379748622' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29360821/posts/default/114962336379748622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29360821/posts/default/114962336379748622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fullfudge.blogspot.com/2006/06/fudgeblog-is-go-message-from-our.html' title='Fudgeblog is Go: A Message From Our Founder'/><author><name>Spout</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09416277519768095364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
