Diary: Water-cooler Monitor

WHAT TOPICS HAS THE INDUSTRY BEEN DISCUSSING THIS WEEK?
THE TALK TIME SPENT
The Conservative Party and M&C Saatchi reuniting. 34 mins

no surprises when Campaign's lead story last week was
picked up by most of the national media the following day.

M&C Saatchi? Watch this space.

Saatchi & Saatchi, is for?
