What HBO’s Girls Is Telling Young People In Advertising
So I’ve been watching Girls for the majority of its 3 seasons. It’s the kind of show that I don’t technically enjoy, but somehow when a new episode is released I find myself watching it, wondering at its conclusion why I continue to do so. It has won Emmy’s and Golden Globes, and has enough nudity for it to […]

It’s Newsjacking Season
Tis the season for newsjacking it seems, and every week there is a new event in our calendars for which we must of course create witty content. Kicking off with Christmas, we’ve ushered in 2014, watched the Golden Globes and Grammy’s, followed the ad action at the Superbowl, celebrated V-Day and patiently await the Oscars […]

Could It Be Love Between You And A Horse?
To celebrate the Lunar New Year at Click2View, we thought we’d honour the year of the horse by seeing how they fare when paired up on a romantic blind date with their fellow zodiac signs. Is there a connection?

Is Idleness the Greatest Commodity?
Think of the technological innovations that would never have been invented if we weren’t so inherently lazy. The TV remote, the email, the Segway and Pizza delivery. The entire computer age has been a sort of ‘gold rush’ to the rich seam of idleness that was just waiting to be worked. Nowadays inventions are actually […]

Wearable Tech or Gratuitous Fashion References?
As a passive follower of the consumer tech world, last week my newsfeeds and various feeds of news were inundated with the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The “next big thing” for 2014 seemed to be wearable technology, or #wearabletech as we must of course refer to it. I’m not sure that I’m quite ready to […]

Why We Pay Our Creatives (And You Should Too)
Six months ago a young graphic designer came into our office to have a look at some promotional cards she had designed for us. The cards were to be used as handouts at a conference to promote our agency. They were beautifully hand-drawn. It turned out she’s part of an emerging movement in Singapore that […]

The Anatomy of a Viral
Don’t pretend you haven’t sat and wondered what it is that makes a viral. Why do certain things set YouTube alight and others disappear into the ether?
