Much fuss is made about political advertising even though it rarely
changes most voters’ views.
So it’s unlikely that history’s course would have been altered if, as
Philip Gould, Labour’s communication guru, claims in his new book,
Saatchi & Saatchi was called in to shore up the party’s ad campaign
because of a wobbly relationship with BMP. Such was the mood for change
that not even an agency run by the PG Tips chimps could have stopped the
Blair bandwagon.
