Agency’s Biggest Fan Stirs Adrants to Write Book (OK, Not Really)

So here’s some randomness. I used to work for an agency called BlackSheep Marketing. It’s a small shop in Boston that focuses predominantly on high tech (Sorry, Kane, if you’ve changed since then). I did some new business work for them and sucked ass at it. Clearly, new business is not my thing. I had a great time working there though.

Anyway, Kane sent me this random video which introduces us to BlackSheep Marketing’s Biggest Fan. Yes, there’s a fan in the video. Yes, Darth Vader makes a vocal appearance. And, yes, that’s Kane, himself, in the video. No, I have no idea what it’s for but it’s great to see Kane after all these years.

Oh wait, I get it. It’s a nod to the insane heat we’ve been experiencing. Yes, I’m slow like that. That’s probably why I haven’t horrified the industry with yet another ego-fueled marketing book because, well, I’m slow and everyone’s already written about everything before I can even think the thought. Anyway, I’d bore myself after the first chapter and you’d just be using the book as a weapon to whack all those people who keep saying, “Can you make the logo bigger?” Oh wait! Purpose! The book would have a purpose! Damn, I better get writing this thing.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
