A community of creatives known as Glimpse is campaigning in opposition to company fossil gas promoting by, inter alia, handing out a pamphlet ‘The ‘The Transient Sabotage Handbook’ exterior the London workplaces of WPP companies and massive PR agency Edelman.
The handbook, mentioned to be satirical, incorporates tips about sabotaging work for shoppers together with BP and Shell together with recommendation on the best way to confuse planners. Cynics may say that is fairly run of the mill in lots of companies. The message is: “Delay. Dither. Bungle. Wreck the transient.”
Glimpse founder James Turner says: “The sabotage handbook that we’ve created is meant to be one thing that sits on the water cooler that will get handed across the workplace. Folks may smile and joke about it, however it permits folks to have what could be fairly a difficult dialog within the workplace and makes it a bit bit simpler as a result of humour typically does.”
Hardly a clarion name to the barricades then however an fascinating instance of the disquiet as we speak’s technology of creatives and others really feel in regards to the shoppers they work on.
WPP’s Ogilvy and Wunderman Thompson and indie Edelman (not often misplaced for phrases) declined to remark. Which might be code for: ‘Shit, what do we are saying about this? Perhaps it can go away.”
