By no means thought we’d be selecting a Vodafone advert and it’s not as a result of it knocks all the things else right into a cocked hat this week.

Do such cheerleader adverts work within the social media age after we know, as we’re packing our personal buying, that Tesco’s boss will get ten million quid a 12 months and Sainsbury’s is altering its guidelines so Simon Roberts will get £7m?
Three, in fact, was one of many few huge manufacturers that clients did really like, not least due to the adverts. Can Leo in some way protect this? O2 is battling the massively unloved Virgin Media.
