Decided to go freelance before "all of this". Strong timing. I'm up and running and somehow have my first client. If you or someone you know needs strategic support, get in touch. steveparker.org

@Twickets I've listed tickets for sale on your site but moderation is still pending. how long does this take?

@RoundhouseLDN I've got ticket for Overmono tonight but haven't been sent tickets yet? I've got the order numbers etc. how can I resolve this? I bought them through AXS on a Spotify pre-sale.

@AXS_UK hi. I’ve got two tickets for Overmono at the roundhouse. The order is showing in my app, but I’ve not received anything from The Roundhouse. Will my Axs mobile ID be enough for entry?

@adjwilson sponsorship activation, doesn't need to sell, needs to build brand image/authority in relation to the property. does that well I think.

.@AXS_UK I am unable to get my Field Day tickets in your app. You are not responding to customer email or DMs. There is a day to go. Currently you are in essence holding £180 on my behalf and refusing to give me the tickets in return. Please resolve this ASAP.

@AXS_UK Hi please can you respond to my latest message. This event is in less than two days and currently I’ve spent £175 and won’t be able to attend due to your app.

@parkenstein Hi we have sent a DM.

@AXS_UK hi I can't get my Field Day tickets as the login keeps failing. I've requested a new password, it's not been sent, but my email is recognised as having an account. Please help me resolve this!

@AXS_UK Done

@parkenstein Hi, please follow us so we can send a DM.

@MCSaatchiSteveM genuinely thought this was a spoof when I first read it

Wow. No one saw that coming. Incredible news really.

The big man's tweeting FCA gifs 5 years later! We can move on with our lives now @lizardking2_0 @samuelball @parkenstein

@DanielHarris I love how Richie knows what's coming

@VikkiRossWrites You need to feel INVINCIBLE to believe it

Urgh the Title Case! Also, what is going on here? Love an ‘invincible’ - such a strong word, especially for a sports brand - but the next line is too whimsical in comparison. #CopySafari

Morning! It’s been a while since I’ve been out in search of words in the wild so I’m off on a #CopySafari and I’m taking @davedyecom with me - here we go! #CopywritersUnite

@VikkiRossWrites benefit still vague

@VikkiRossWrites Your points paint your life rich with colour / You know you're a member when.

@J_Fran29 Dixon was frothing when they went one up

Don’t you just fucking love how much piss we’re boiling at the moment… Dixon & Matterface both sound like they want to cry. Brilliant! #MUFC #UTFR

@AtomicAdMan Marketing decisions don’t happen in isolation. If it is part of a wider strategy to position the brand as a cutting edge technology brand, not a legacy hardware company, then a new visual identity is an important part of that transition. It’s a signal to stakeholders and staff

A lot of thumbs up/thumbs down discussion. Here's my question: What do they think this will achieve for Nokia? (And I use "achieve" in a broad sense — not "last tough attribution" style.) Do they expect a noticeable result, though?

@BigTomD @OfficialFPL free hit

WHAT TO DO… @OfficialFPL

@benedictpringle They would spent an age toying over every word, sucking the life out of it and convincing themselves it is all the name of behavioural science.

@parkenstein I assume the campaign went through many rounds of development. Potentially some research too. Painful.

You’ve probably been served this ad tens of times. £18m media budget reportedly. But it’s so recessive I bet you’ve never noticed it.

@benedictpringle not the media spend, the money spent managing the process and the awful standards and processes they inflict.

@benedictpringle The CCS has so much to answer for. The worst excesses of government.
