Adliterate has been delivering radical thinking for the brand advice business for over a decade. It is concerned with the future of advertising and marketing, the impact of technology and the nature of potent brands. It takes a radical view in order to solve deep seated problems and it sets its self against orthodoxy in any form. It also aims to be deliberately provocative.
A couple of nice chaps from a research agency called duckfoot popped by to see me recently with some research they had done on advertising and PVRs.
Real research mind - that is possibly rather helpful.
