Dave Trott’s Blog
As with anything that rises from obscurity to mass popularity with indecent haste, blogging has long been cannon fodder for any bored journalist, sage or cynic who’s mission in life is to have a pop at, well, the popular.
As it happens, we don’t do ourselves any favours in the UK. We (including myself) are not good bloggers. We tend to diarise and tell our stories rather than opinionate on others and further the debate. The Internet was conceived as a tool to fuel opinion by adding credence to what was said before. Our British (OK, English) mentality however is to hedge, sit on the fence and scuttle home before it gets dark; heaven forbid ruffling any feathers.
And so it is with great pleasure that, having played a hand in persuading Laurence Percival to saddle up and ride his keyboard that I can now take a teensy-weensy bit of credit for introducing one of the greats of the golden age of advertising to the blogosphere. He is quite possibly still wearing the same black suit as he was back in the day when Creative Directors wore the pants and everyone around them asked how high should they be pulled, but unlike his contemporaries he’s here, he’s online and he’s got something to say. Ladies and gentleman, I give you Dave Trott.
