Approach
In business, you are Predator or Prey
Predatory Thinking starts with a market truth: if you want people to do something, they have to stop doing something else. Whether it is people’s time, their attention, or their money you want, if you want more, someone or something else is going to get less.
Put another way, if you aren’t 100% focused on winning your share, someone else will steal it from you.
In today’s business environment, never has it been truer that you are either predator or prey.
Predatory Thinking delivers clarity Predatory Thinking is at the heart of all we do. Because it works. Because it helps us look at business problems with incisive clarity.
By identifying who or what will lose out – your prey – and what you have in your armoury to beat them, we unearth the right Predatory Thought for your business: the idea that will drive the change in behaviour that will help you achieve your objective.
Two things distinguish successful Predatory Thinkers. First, they put themselves at an unfair advantage by choosing their own territory and rules of engagement. Second, they align all their tools and talents to focus on their purpose.
In this way they outmanoeuvre and outwit their competition, change behaviour and put their businesses on a clear and visionary path to success. And when companies, people and brands have a clear purpose that inspires and engages them, then, rather than look backwards, or inwards, they move forward fuelled with passion and energy. They develop exciting, positive and real business momentum.

about us
Like many modern marketing companies, L&A evolved from a traditional ad agency. We were raised doing print and television ads for clients: Single-page ad or spread? 30- or 60-second commercial? But the the world has changed. The media landscape has exploded, leaving marketers with infinitely more media choices. Some agencies resist the change, but we've fallen in love. For us, change simply means that now we have more ways to reach very specific audiences in very specific places, making our marketing efforts that much more efficient. </br> Philosophy + Culture Our philosophy is to make great work, have fun and make money. Always in that order. We think we are different. The way we accommodate and are flexible to actually partner with clients. We don’t want just project work, we want the relationship, Small agency approach with big agency experience. We act to slaying sacred cows i.e those ingrained behaviours and attitudes in every category that people continue to use because “they’ve always been done that way”.Who we are
Our goal is simple: To provide A-plus creative and A-plus strategic solutions that drive success for your business.Our Vision
Our main vision is We MUST do the things we think we cannot do.Meet the team

Media capabilities
We don’t just develop a media buy to make media dollars work harder: We start with a strong media strategy. We evaluate how your consumer uses media and where they’ll be most receptive to hearing your message. We identify a single-minded strategy to drive the media buy and find ways to align media and message. And we always find ways to work around any tactical limitations like a limited budget or scheduling challenges. All of this comes together in a media buy that reaches the right people, at the right time, for the right results.

Just once I’d like to buy something on the internet and not have the site send me loads of bloody emails afterwards

What the hell is that whirry, rattling, clattering sound? Oh yes, it’s bill bernbach spinning in his grave

I’m not 100% sure, but I think this is the most pathetic attempt at advertising I’ve ever seen
January 4, 2013
Only one weekend thing today, but at least it contains 100 other things. Hopefully it’ll be less shit next week. Sorry.

You (yes, you!) can become a creative circle judge (assuming you are an advertising creative).
