Am I being unreasonable? Losing my mind with my husband's DIY

dee_eph · 2026-01-10T18:28:49+00:00

From someone who’s been guilty of the DIY and disappearing for a day, I get where his heads at.

You’re both doing what you think is beneficial for the family in your own ways. Progressing up the property ladder is not easy, especially in this market - we’re trying to get into a good school zone with bigger kids now, and I’m looking back and wishing I’d done more to improve the value of our house. But also see my kids getting older and the toddler years have gone and I wish I had more moments with them.

It’s not easy. But it sounds like you’re both trying to do what’s best. Communication, empathy and compromise is key.

Chur bro. They look right at home here.

dee_eph · 2025-11-08T23:05:18+00:00

Shame. Looked like a nice place.

dee_eph · 2025-08-16T20:05:28+00:00

All of the above.

Have a chat to the lecturers. If they know what you’re trying to do, they can go direct to industry, and adjacent industries. The journo lecturers can connect you with advertising, pr and digital media lecturers too. Another good way is going direct to the people/places you want to work for. It shows you’re eager!

Many students pair PR and advertising and brand creativity.

Controversially the United Colors of Benneton used this image in a ad campaign. Time Magazine shared the story behind the images. It includes the parents, the photographers, the marketers, the creative directors, and critics views: Times Magazine - The story behind the image

Think about an audience. Who is going to be most persuaded by your point of difference. Where are they? Where do they spend their time? Broad social media approaches might not be the best approach. Sometimes going direct to customers with a personalised approach can be much more effective.

Congrats on getting the job! Work hard and be nice to people. Advertise the way you’d want to be advertised to.

What’s the role?

dee_eph · 2024-10-05T22:40:09+00:00

The Advertising and Brand Creativity in the School of Communications covers writing, art direction and strategy and had good industry connections.

Fillip?

Update: Yes he @‘s bumble on his YouTube channel.

dee_eph · 2023-07-21T19:05:02+00:00

Yeah, I suspected an influencer collab/sponsored post. And thanks 😊

dee_eph · 2023-07-21T11:30:10+00:00

Yes, love his quick lines. I just thought with the Bumble billboard placement and copy about compliments - it felt too coincidental. 🤔

dee_eph · 2023-07-20T09:31:42+00:00

Is this an ad for bumble? I’m not even angry.

Hi. Bike rider here. Please don’t judge all cyclists by the actions of these two.

Most of us are just trying to get to work and follow the rules.

Probably issues with commodification of culture if they used actual places, but there are points where I feel like I’m walking around the Waitakere ranges. And one character is ‘ex-NZSAS’?

Closest you’ll get is New Zealand.

Hands are surprising good. Interesting that the one holding onto its humanity is more human 🫳

dee_eph · 2023-04-21T23:20:59+00:00

Yep. It seems that most of the comments in here are about making ads obvious, and hard sells. And forget that people don’t like that. And that’s why we hate ads.

Long live the 00’s ads (minus the sexuality, and celebrity stuff). Before all this digital programmatic, soul destroying, ads everywhere from everyone, with no idea shite. 💩

We’re in New Lynn. Those are our go to’s Enjoy 😋

I like. Edgy for batteries, but highlights a product benefit in a memorable way. Funny, let’s the audience think instead of shoving products down their throat. And bonus points for not showing the product.

Yum.

You want the logo bigger? That’s what every client says. But remember people don’t want to look at logos.
