A community of creatives known as Glimpse is campaigning in opposition to company fossil gasoline promoting by, inter alia, handing out a pamphlet ‘The ‘The Transient Sabotage Handbook’ outdoors the London places of work of WPP companies and large PR agency Edelman.
The handbook, stated to be satirical, accommodates tips about sabotaging work for shoppers together with BP and Shell together with recommendation on how you can confuse planners. Cynics would possibly 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 would possibly smile and joke about it, but it surely permits individuals to have what may be fairly a difficult dialog within the workplace and makes it just a little bit simpler as a result of humour typically does.”
Hardly a clarion name to the barricades then however an fascinating instance of the disquiet right now’s era of creatives and others really feel concerning 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.”
