Coke Zone campaign on Tradedoubler update - and will Coke get a return from cashback sites?

A short while after I blogged about the Coke Zone campaign last Friday I had a phone call from the account manager responsible for the programme to address my concerns.

This post is inspired due to the fact that I’ve just dropped my car off at the garage as it needs a service. While I was waiting around I counted how many cars where in the lot, there were 58. Now out of these 58 different models of Land Rover they were all either black [...]

The Apprentice - brilliant, brilliant TV

Tonight saw the welcome return of The Apprentice to our TV screens and I must say it’s good to have Sir Alan back telling all the toffs how it really is. Although I class The Apprentice as a “business/entrepreneur” type of show I have to be honest and admit that I don’t actually watch it to [...]
