Spot the difference
Now call me a cynic but:
On 23.11.06 an article of mine was published in the NMA pithily entitled: Digital industry believes it’s more grown up than it really is. The beautifully crafted opening line said: “The digital industry is in a state. Not necessarily always a bad state but, like a teenager, it’s riddled with angst and confusion about how quickly it’s changing and why no one understands it properly.”
On 12.04.07 Jennifer Whitehead, a journalist on the NMA published an article entitled: Online ad spend. The opening line said: “Like any teenager who has been through a traumatic early childhood, sometimes the digital marketing industry can be a bit insecure, with a tendency to dwell on the negative rather than recognise its achievements.”
Imitated? Flattered? It’s the best form isn’t it?
