And in today’s episode of ‘Whoever is writing @britishlibrary’s marketing emails is a goddamn genius:

Someone’s snuck all the obscure David Bowie references into the @britishlibrary’s emails this month. 👏

'I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.' Umberto Eco

'I'm going to smile, and my smile will sink down into your pupils, and heaven knows what it will become.' Jean-Paul Sartre

Come and do design at The Beautiful Meme. ifyoucouldjobs.com/job/hfxh29cou

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was obsessed with creating paintings of imaginary castles. Famous for his work as poet, playwright, novelist, statesman & human rights activist, Hugo's art is less well known though it was avant-garde in his time. He painted w/ink, soot, coffee & blood.

Where magical writing and beautiful design meet is the sweet spot for us. We celebrate words as much as image. Each month we bring together a rattlebag of poets, copywriters, journalists, editors and novelists for a Soho meal on us. Tonights's the night again. DM to future join.

Ugh, he takes the fun out of everything doesn’t he?

Marketing should begin as the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings. Stop trying to professionalise everything.
