One of my JWT spies sent me a copy of a corporate wide memo talking about their tie in with the Huffington Post that I wrote about a couple of days ago… Part of it reads… For starters, AdPulp, Blogs are Us and the Guardian’s ad blogger Julia Day are all directing readers to the NYT story and HuffingtonPost.com, ensuring that the industry’s influencers are all getting an eyeful of JWT’s work. Slashdot called it a “unique approach” and George Parker at AdHurl.com observed that the effort was “a smart move.” Readers too have weighed in, saying the partnership “actually makes sense,” and that we “definitely
picked a good site to start with.” Well, all I can say is, “I’m Flattered!” Does the “Poisoned Dwarf” know about this?![]()
Didn't you used to called J. Walter Thompson?

Yes, funny how they only told their people about the positive comments, rather than the much more insightful detective work going on here:

C'mon George, fair balance.
