Free your mind and knowledge will follow
Have you checked out Wikipedia today? If not, do it! Wikipedia might not be the most reliable source of information ever, but as with everything else you have to make critical evaluations of your sources. With that in mind this encyclopedia of the digital age is the largest bibliotheca of information in the history of mankind – and that counts for something.
At this very moment the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could block the free and open Internet. Wikipedia has gone into a blackout for 24 hours to raise awareness of the importance of an open source encyclopedia. This is of course not only about Wikipedia, but also about the very right to open and free knowledge in the digital age of mankind.
Mordern warfare in the Very heart of the city…
First we heard a roaring sound from above… We thought it was aliens dropping by for a drink, but no! We were under attack… or actually we weren’t. Our talented nabours at Robert Boisen & Like-Minded were just messing around – good job guys, but we almost got hit (digitally that is).

Verylicious X-mas
And so this is… Friday, and soon we’ll all be riding home for Christmas in chiming chariots. It has been a fantastic year at Very, and that’s all because of the wonderful peeps who have worked for and with us, so thank you – may you all get that green Peter Pan tricot you always wished for, and maybe a life size pirate ship on the side with Village People dancing on deck.
On the 23rd day of Christmas Very gave to you… (drums)… (fireworks)… The Farting Elves!
Happy Holidays!
Thank God it’s Christmas… Thank God we made it!
Friday the 9th we had a ball crushing, tit smashing awesome Very Christmas Party! It was an all day adventure, and only the strongest made it out alive.
We started out getting pretty physical with an ice hockey tournament (hence the smashing and crushing part). The Swedes excelled and some Danes were expelled… With nasty bruises and “boosted” egos we went off to random play at a shooting range and bowling alley. To end the physical challenges we blind tasted some Russian specialities (in which we all excelled).
Our verylicious day ended (and here it starts getting a bit blurry) with dining at Madsvinet and clubbing along with the 80′s at Simons.
Thank you all for the love… (on the rocks with a little ice!)
I can do it better than your kids…
No, it’s not politically correct. And if you deeply cherish children’s artwork you probably won’t like this guy… But maybe, maybe some of these thoughts have crossed your mind at some point. Maddox exposes the “terrible inadequacy” of children with his newest work I’m Better Than Your Kids.

New kids on the block…
We are Very happy to introduce three new faces at the office. We’ve been searching high and low for the right people to contribute to the positive results we’re riding on at the moment. Our digital department, Very Digital (makes sense right?), has grown considerably over the last couple of months. That’s why we welcome Kristian Moon and Jesper Overby in Very Digital. Furthermore Nicolai Krøigaard Sorner will be a new asset to the Burn focused planner team.
So in short:
Kristian is our new Senior Project Manager. He has solid experience with all aspects of digital production as well as team management from both advertising and online marketing agencies. Kristian is a dedicated gadgeteer with great insights on the newest tech stuff and ways to implement the possibilities they bring in cross media strategies.
Jesper will be burdened with the title Community Manager, hence he handles written content across different media platforms. He has a background in both traditional advertising and creative online marketing. When he doesn’t get his kicks at Very Digital, he goes analogue and writes novels.
To help boost our planners we’ve ensnared Nicolai, who studies communication and economics. Nicolai will take care of coordination between planners and project managers. When he isn’t at the office or in school, Nicolai spends his time skiing in the alps and taking underwater pictures.
A Very warm welcome to all of them!

Awesome stuff: Go the fuck to sleep.

Today we kicking off a new and reoccurring theme on our blog: Awsome stuff!
The title is pretty self explanatory, but just to clarify: it is all about stuff that’s awesome!
Awesome stuff has tendency to be the best starting point for awesome marketing. When comparing their brand to Apple, Google and Nike, a lot of people have a tendency to forget that they make some pretty fucking awesome products. So over the next couple months lets take it back to the roots and celebrate all the stuff that is actually worth talking about.
What better way to start than with a children’s book. Yup, thats rigtht. At Very we love kids, shit we love them so much we even have a couple of them ourselves. But children’s books have a tendency to be not awesome.
”Go the fuck to sleep” does not fit that category. It is a children’s book born out of the joy/frustration of getting your little sack of screams to sleep at night. And what better way to promote the book then by having the all time grand master of saying FUCK, Samuel L Jackson read it?
Naturally the Fuck/Sam Jackson combo has created tremendous viral hype and the book has sold around 25% of it’s stock in preorder. Awesome.

And for all the members of the “real time police” out there: We are aware that this is not “fresh off Twitter” new newness – we read about it in May as well. This however does not make less awesome.
Lets put it in rhyme:
Your knowledge of everything current is great,
but please could you silence you tweets?
We value your input, but you are missing the point.
Shut down your Macbook and go the fuck to sleep!
