Xmasvoucher

Perhaps things only become culturally significant once they’ve been re-appropriated.

The Christmas discount [e] voucher surfaced last winter, and made some news, and this year there has been a flurry of social coupons.

Then there was the hoax – a 60% off Gap voucher – and now we have this cheeky little spoof from the lovely people at digital strategy shop Hyper, offering 20% off:

"strategies relating to the sending of Christmas vouchers over the internet"

I’ve a soft spot for agencies making content without clients – agency generated content, if you will.

    That’s great!
    However ‘Agency Generated Content’ as a term should be reserved for shitty user generated content projects where all the content is actually generated by the agency rather than real people. i.e. a large percentage of them…
