Slow, arrogant and expensive?

No, not the Patisserie Valerie around the corner. The title of last night's D&AD

President's Lecture, in which Tony Brignull, Sir Frank Lowe, Sir Alan Parker,

Several young bucks from Weapon7 were in attendance. We're braced for refusals

to work on anything other than a poster campaign with a three week globetrotting

shoot from the creative department.
