How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time...Chris Brewer remembers all too well the agony of SAARF's Council meetings of past and what he refers to as the elephant in the SAARF boardroom. In his regular column on Bizcommunity.com, Brendan Seery's [Orchids & Onions] gives an orchid to FCB and Toyota for their warning on 50 shades of pirate parts. He also has a note on a king with a need for more cash, and offers an onion that will not be everyone's cup of tea... Still on advertising, Leigh Andrews finds out what Rob McLennan, creative founding partner of King James II, expects from [Loeries 2015], taking place in (hopefully) sunny Durbs this August. Ending on a sad note, Ken Owen passed away last week and tributes have been posted on social media and in traditional media on his passing. Comment online in our ed's column archive.
