Hi Benny,

I have been told that the advertising industry is going through a rough time over there.
How is the situation at TBWA\Chiat\Day?
I am currently working at M&C Saatchi, Kuala Lumpur and looking for opportunities in the States.

Kind Regards,
Jacob Barry

Hey Benny
I interned at Tequila last year in the TBWA\Chiat building and then at McCann in West LA. I'm really interested in a junior planning job but I know open positions are hard to come by. Do you have any advice? I would love to work back at Chiat again.

I worked in Mumbai for 3 years, but mostly it was Delhi. And then it became all-India - we have 5 offices as you may know.
Say hi to Manish - I haven't written to him in a while.

India vs the US is al ong conversation....but in short, India is all about exploration and discovery - new brands, new ideas, new ways to live - while the US is at the stage where the old rules are meeting the new and creating an odd kind of fusion. Both exciting and very confusing.

It's debatable if Poke-ing is rude on facebook!

Anyways, POKE is the digital arm/ sister agency of MOTHER London/ New York. POKE was started in London and they just opened their Ny office in April.

Ah, THAT Roop. The scourge of the Intelligence department ( just kidding).
So you're a planner at Bates?
I moved to Nissan /Infiniti a while ago. Mars to cars. Packaged goods to luxury. Its a noticeable change.
What fiendish experiment are you hatching in the Chinese restaurant? Effects of MSG on motor function?
Apropos of which, a small study in England has suggested slowing down of brain function among heavy cell users. Still to be validated, but I tihnk I can see circumstantial evidence all around.
Talk to you soon - my working day beckons.

Hi Benny,
Was with TBWA. Infact we did communicate few times over email... hmmm ... not sure if it was during the Tiger Beer pitch or the SIA pitch. Hope it reminds you. Moved to Bates Bangalore few months back. Run a small time Chinese Restaurant. How you doing?
