Media Group, fresh from its recent joint takeover with Fairfax of
Southern Cross Broadcasting, will rename its Australian operations
within a month to reflect its newly expanded portfolio of assets.
Not quite a year ago, Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton asked a question — would you like to write a business book. And
over 100 people responded from all over the world … contributing 400
words each to the book Age of Conversation.
Part way through the project, Drew and Gavin decided that they would go
ahead and do it again in 2008.

A
TV ad featuring a g-string clad pole dancer trying to cope with her
fast food cravings was the most complained about advertisement in 2007,
according to the Advertising Standards Bureau.
The
ad for Nando’s Restaurants attracted more than 300 complaints from the
public, largely because of the level of nudity of the pole-dancing
woman.
The ASB dismissed the complaints against the ad, after deciding it
did not contain sexual, nude or discriminating material that was
inappropriate during an M rated time zone.
Second on the list of most complained about ads was an advertisement
for Advanced Medical Institute which asked: "Want longer lasting sex?".
It received more than 140 complaints which were also dismissed.
Of the 10 ads which attracted the most criticism from the public,
the ASB only upheld complaints against three of them – two of which
were McDonald’s ads.
