Packed? I need a pack-horse.
Just got back from another 300 mile, three bag, car, taxi ‘n’ train round-trip to see one of my more conveniently located clients. It was a first meeting between a new client, my agency and their media agency to try and pull together two lots of consumer insight (mine and the media guy’s) into one cohesive strategy.
I ended up scribbling a few charts in my notebook in an effort to simplify our joint thinking, but they didn’t look that fab on A5 lined paper and it would have been a bit dramatic to leap up and start attacking a flip chart with technicolour felt-tips or to whip out the laptop. Which means I’m going to have to add a small layout pad and marker pen to the pile of stuff I drag round the country with me.
I think I need a bag like Hermione’s with an undetectable extension charm on it (Harry Potter book 7). If she can get a tent, an oil painting and the contents of three people’s wardrobes in an evening bag, I’m sure I could get a few lever arch files, the laptop, mobile, satnav, digital camera, cables, notebook, filofax, calculator and the rest of my handbag in something smaller and lighter than the QE2. Either that, or I need a pack-horse.
