SA Finally Gets Digital Course
It's no secret SA is a tad behind in the digital stakes. But now there's a way to get way up to speed pronto

Do SA Agencies Really Have No Idea?
According to at least one (sort of) local digital agency, Adelaide ad agencies are about as well informed on digital as George Bush was about the WMDs in Afghanistan. That is, not bloody very.

Local Ad Man Thinks Small
This story has it all: swear words, midgets and a few opinions on branding that are sure to challenge some of our industrys greatest minds. Were guessing you wont necessarily agree with them either, but the results certainly speak for themselves.

Are Our Advertising Awards On the Blink?
Weve been threatening to do it for some time now. And we never make promises we cant keep. So this is it guys. A comprehensive, multi-part extravanagza about our home grown advertising awards system. Hold on, its gonna be one hell of a ride.

The Awards Part 2: Judging Our Judges
We're done playing nice and it's time to give the judges some of their own treatment. We've got a few ideas of our own about why the judges don't deserve an award

The Awards Part 3: The Elusive Search For Gold
Why is the awards system we have today essentially the same one we had when ABBA were on top of the charts? Lets get real, tweaks dont count, so nothing much has changed - except the world around it. Yet again were in quite a talkative mood about it all

The Awards Part 4: Itll Be Alright On The Night
Being the know-it-alls we are, weve pretty much come up with the perfect awards system over the past few days. So while were on a roll, lets knock the night itself into shape, shall we?

The Awards Part 5: It's Not As Easy As It Themes
There's a call out for theme concepts for next year's award show. But we go one step further with a theme of our own and ask are we just polishing turds?

The Future Is In The Cards
It's been a growing trend for a while now so we're hardly breaking news. But we've found someone who can help you get in on the action and that's something worth knowing about for sure

This Year's Biggest Marketing Event Is Coming
You'd usually have to travel interstate or even overseas to check out an event of this calibre. So you'd be nuts to miss out on the chance to get in on the Marketing Week action.

Green Is The New Black
It can be hard work getting up to speed on all this green stuff. So don't miss this opportunity to get the cheat notes from one of Australia's leading experts

It turns out quite a few industry people lead secret double lives as legitimate artists. We unmask one of them and tell you how he did at a big deal art competition recently

New Pimp Hits the Streets
There's an awful lot of talk about "integrated campaigns" but it's not often we see one of this calibre come out of Adelaide. This kettle campaign is so hot it's, dare we say, boiling

SA Style Superhero Hits Our Screens
He may not wear his undies on the outside, but he does have a magic hammer and powerballs and that's good enough for us.

Go Bananas At Revamped Studio
It's a jungle out there and although it's been around for just over a decade, this studio space is all spruced up and ready to go. Now you can hire the studio for a shoot or even move in permanently

Meet The Bugfather
If there's one thing that really bugs us, it's local work going across the border. So imagine our delight when we heard about a neat little project that came here from interstate

We go along to see what Rocketboom supremo Andrew Baron from New York has to say and not only give you the highlights, but make a feeble attempt to follow in his footsteps with the first (and probably last) ever AdTown auction.

Crashing Pins & Popping Pigeons
The AADC Ten Pin Bowls Night had it all. Olympic worthy sporting moments and seriously philosophical musings. Hey, you had to be there. We were.

Big Brawl For AdTown
We've picked a few fights in our relatively short time online, but nothing compares to this stoush with a complete and utter knob.

'Expert' Says "Don't Be Creative"
OK, so the only thing this person might be an expert at is being a knob, but it gives us a reason to look at what is and isn't considered creative and original in our neck of the woods

New TVC Makes Us Happy
One of SA's credit unions launches a new feel good campaign. See their new TVC here and trust us to bring you some completely useless trivia about the soundtrack

Shiels Gives New Agency A Ring
Truth be told, they gave the agency more than a ring, they gave them the whole damn advertising account. Find out who it was, plus get a few tasty morsels of gossip here now

Tiny Story About A Tiny Ad
Yep, it's Friday. Yep, it's been a long week. So yep, we're justifying this tiny story by saying it fits in with the tiny theme of the TVC it's about. Well, that's our story and we're sticking to it. Take a little peek and you'll see what we mean
AdTown Banner Up For Auction
That's right folks, this is your once in a lifetime (well, probably once in a monthtime) opportunity to own (OK, lease) a little bit of AdTown.
