I’m dead but don’t let that bother you…

It’s been a fucking terrific week.
One.

Weezy’s album was my soundtrack. Me and LGF have been discussing it like the nerds we are. Analysing it track by track… Folk on the subway seemed kinda annoyed. And it wasn’t like we were charging them any money for our in depth review.

Two.

We figured out that even though you’ll be dumping your Mac&PowerBooks and will be trying to forget all about us during the Summer break, it won’t work. We’ve been working on Axion, TMF, Randstad and Coke campaigns.

We dare you to pick up 5 leaflets during the festivals. If you’re core-KNOTORYUS you’ll notice that at least 3 of them have been preened by yours truly.

Three:

I met up with and/or talked to my favourite people.

Four:

I found out my father-in-law started wearing an eye-patch. (I hope you ain’t hurting no more Mayor!)

A couple of people expressed some serious and heartfelt concern about KNOTORYUS going commercial…

Those who got anything against making money whilst having fun and would like to talk about it:

The Dilligaf-tee is listening.

So okay:

May 2008, we done created:

A blog for the big ass Randstad Jobtour (we also provided the copy for the entire campaign – nationwide, hon!).

Shout out to all the brainiacs extra-ordinaires at Mo Ka!

Then the Sony UK mothership wanted us to provide the copy for their new campaign.

Okay, okay.

Then, Glam*it had me talking about how surfing is pretty great should you wanna funk up your tits & ass game.

Which is pretty funny since I’m our world’s stupidest surfer. That’s no slang. When it comes to surfing I’m like the Gump. I know it’s purrrretty, but I just don’t get it. And I just can’t. (My mom sent me to camps, but when I turned fifteen Neptunus was like enough is enough dudes. Let’s give the fish a rest. And for fuck’s sake stop talking trash to my friend the wind. )

I do understand the surfer bod, though. So, I still wrote a pretty dope article + gave ‘em a surfPod to enjoy.

One of my favourite things this month! I was hired to write a bunch of scenarios for a new travel show. National TV. Major fun. Mentors are good for you, kids. Honor ‘em. Thank you Monsieur Luc Van Laer for the hook-up.

Then we produced the MAGNUM blog. This is like a major Pax Media. It’s like Marie-Claire doing stuff with ELLE doing stuff with VOGUE doing stuff with Jalouse. Loving it! Thank you, sweet co-bloggers. Troopers for real!

This is such a small part of our May situation, so LGF is going to do another update.

(Still to come: Coca-Cola, Nescafé, Procter&Gamble, The National Lottery,…)

KNOTORYUS done did another nationwide campaign…

(read more)

See, I don’t know how you rate things in other countries, but over here being able to come up with one fabulous slogan that works for the Frenchies as well as Les Flamandes is pretty damn cool.

Shit is everywhere and it’s pink! (thanks to Mo Ka)

Honk if you spot us!

(you can holler, but chances are you’ll get arrested)

Haha, uh oh!

(and you see: a-po-theek … phar-ma-cie. It ain’t easy!)

Good stuff . This is the main truck though.

Wanna know more?

We’re preening their blog

the ‘Gazette’

the Magazine

the Stickers

The Video (online soon)

I hate to brag -and by hate I mean really fucking love to- but making content branded mags is one of the things we’re rather good at…

The 2nd issue of Randstad Magazine is now online. We got to combine all the stuff we like: writing, editing, styling, directing. Loving it! (and loving my Cory Kennedy shirt – people paid $375 for it on ebay!!)

of course we couldn’t have done it without the guidance of the lovely folk at Mo Ka

A big thank you to Cindy Frey & Sophie Paris! (go see her play)

A small update on some work we’ve been churning out.

When it comes to jobs, Randstad is literally the biggest in Belgium. To bring their humongous job-databank to the people, they designed an ‘office on wheels’, which will be touring all major cities during April and May.

KNOTORYUS helped create a viral pre-campaign (read the funny hahah stuff here), wrote the Randstad Jobtour Gazette and streamlined all the copy for the Jobtour site. Keep an eye on the Jobtour blog, ‘cuz we’ll be doing some ‘on location’ reporting as the events unfurl.

Another KNOTORYUS collabo with Mo Ka & Randstad.

So, Randstad bought Vedior in a multi-billion deal and decided to spend some money on a Belgian relaunch…

They commissioned the talented Mo Ka team to create a new lifestyle online magazine. Mo Ka then tapped KNOTORYUS to provide most of the content for this new zine. Yesterday we finished the bi-monthly office fashion shoot which KNOTORYUS styled entirely. A big thank you to Gunter Durant and the amazingly talented Lalo Gonzales-who had just finished a cover shoot for ELLE with Elise Crombez- for making this shoot go down smooth.
