Michael Wolff Dislikes City Branding and His Old Firm, Wolff Olins

While we went to a really great lecture last week, unfortunately everyone was entirely civil and friendly, which was a shame, as it seems like we’re never luck enough to be at one where the guest speaker goes ballistic. Such was the case late last week when designer Michael Wolff spoke at the D&AD President’s Lecture in the UK (no, not that Michael Wolff, the other one). His chief complaint was over the branding of cities, but he stopped from time to time to get in some other digs too.
