blogging for peas
Martin at TMW emailled me about a blog they helped organise for Bird Eye peas. I'll admit I clicked on the link with trepidation, corporate blogs are not always the best, but this is lovely. I think a lot of the charm is it's not trying to be more than it should, it's a blog about the pea harvest and pea tasting and it's just that, it's not pasted over with agency copywriting or big brand gags, it's just a look behind the scenes, using regular blogger tools, movable type, flickr, youtube, odeo. It'll never reach an audience of billions but it's not supposed to. Really nice work.
And for agency people - doesn't this remind you of the best bits of the job? Factory visits, tasting panels, people who do real work for a living.
Thanks Russell, it's been an interesting journey:-)
If it's not too much trouble, could I ask that you make the flickr and youtube links to Colin's relevant accounts?
Cheers,
Dug

Brilliant, ta:-)
It's funny how communication always comes back to the things we really care about. Colin and James have now published 49 posts and by far the most popular ones have been about Colin's dog Doris.
