Is this appropriate?

I can see the potential for collaboration with Demos. But Bold Creative is an Advertisiing agency and it just isn't appropriate for us to get close to such an organisation. We recently had a whole series of discussions with PR people, that was fairly contentious but at least we weren't being partial between agencies as we were talking to a trade body that presumably they could all join. But this not only looks like collaboration with marketing people, but it smacks of us developing a special relationship with one particular agency. I suspect that would be unwise even if it could be done in a way that didn't make life more difficult for the many volunteers who try to keep spam off the pedia.

• • Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. I understand your concerns, so let me reassure you. We aren't even remotely coming at this from an advertising, marketing, promotional perspective *at all*. Bold have done some incredible work in the digital space in highlighting some of the problems, risks and dangers that young people (in particular) face online. Their Digital Disruption project is a prime example of the work they've done which shows enormous potential. I'm supposed to not even be thinking of working today (so don't tell anyone I've looked at this!) but I hope that if you can spare ten minutes to take a look at the Digital Disruption project website you might get more of a sense of how we can make this a relevant, useful, significant piece of work. It's here. --Stevie Benton (talk) 09:54, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
