Saatchi's Talking Head

The staffers at Saatchi & Saatchi, Los Angeles, received a surprise recently when they heard the voice of hard-driving chief executive Kevin Roberts–in stereo.
It seems the agency had just received its shipment of Saatchi & Saatchi’s first annual report as a demerged public company. The “talking” report features Roberts’ voice as recorded on a microchip along with artsy, black-and-white pictures of the disembodied heads of worldwide creative director Bob Isherwood and others.
The recording is light-activated and tends to act up, which is what happened in sunny Los Angeles when a whole stack of reports sounded off with the New Zealander’s voice.
