Once touted as the next table tennis, a local boutique, bespoke, creative, fun, multinational mezzanine-level advertising and public relations firm has revealed that they’re the proud owners of a foosball table – but nobody working there quite knows where or how they got it.
Speaking exclusively to The Advocate, one of Colenso South Betoota’s bearded creative directors said that they have a ‘veritable smorgasbord’ of ‘things’ to entertain their staff between the ‘explosive bursts’ of creativity and account management like foosball tables and whatnot.
But while Denver Cairns knows where the agency sourced its disused table tennis table and disused boardroom motorcycle, he’s not too sure where the foosball table came from.
“That’s a tricky one,” he said.
“It reminds me of a campaign Saatchi Melbourne did with OPSM. Do you remember the one where the guy did that thing with the car and the talking eel? Yeah. Great campaign. Everything they do is pretty good. Ah, did you see the one that,”
“Oh yeah. The foosball table. Well, the table tennis table has Barcardi branding on it. So it obviously came from that campaign we did with them. The motorbike is from Moto Guzzi, I think. Or Ducati? Whatever. The foosball table hasn’t got any branding on it. So yeah, no idea. I sent around an email before you got here and yeah, nothing. Sorry.”
Our reporter considered asking another staff member for comment but ultimately shrugged and remembered he stopped caring about his job years ago.
More to come.
