Did I Say "School For Spies"?

Yes, I did hold that recent Guerrilla Marketing Seminar at a secret location, used in World War Two as a finishing school for the undercover agents of the Special Operations Executive.

This was where men and women, who were trained in the dark arts of sabotage assassination, spying and other essentials were brought to be given their final briefing, before being smuggled into Nazi controlled Europe. And, Ian Fleming - creator of James Bond - also worked here during the war. How authentic can you get?

Wartime British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill's instructions to the SEO was characteristically to the point: "Set Europe ablaze".

So, it seemed a highly appropriate location - given our mission in 2006 was to set the internet ablaze with new thinking. And, judging by the enthusiastic reception, we did just that.

Then, as if to set the seal on the success, along came the Google AdWords blitzkreig, confirming all I had put forward on the day. But, just in case you thought it was all blood, sweat, toil and tears . . .

Here's some of us taking a bit of "refreshment", before consuming rare and costly ingredients, spices and potations. It was never like that here in the old days!
