A famous book started this well known 'logical conundrum', and this week, one of these situations has got Stan stumped. Over the last few months, I was looking for a copywriter to join my team. As you can imagine I looked at the lot of folios before finding right person What I want to talk to you about today, is something I think you need to think about in regard to your hunt for a creative position.

Ole! It's music time again! Thanks to Mr Patrick Collins, whom without his musical mix-mastery creations we'd be entirely tune-less-inspiration-less on this final Friday of March.
