You've just stumbled upon The Usual Suspects blog. We're glad you're here, and hope you enjoy.
As with all things advertising and marketing, the first things to consider are the who's and the why's and the how's.
Who?
The Usual Suspects is a group of friends, brought together by the same university and the same Advertising and Marketing Communications degree. What made us stick together was a shared interest, curiosity, intelligence about all things AMC. What makes us stick together happily is the similar humour and brains, and that's what this blog is about - a combination of smart stuff and having fun. The name derives from our status as "The Usual Suspects" amongst the teachers and our cohort. Need someone to do something amazing? Ask (and trust) The Usual Suspects to do it!



Lex, a loyalty-less laggard with a temper - especially when it comes to bad advertising. Expect her posts to be researched opinion pieces on advertising and branding with the occasional angry rant.
Lex is from Bristol - the most musical city in the UK - but no, she doesn't like cider and please don't ask her if she knows Banksy.

Hannah, quite the atypical 21 year old trying desperately to find out what floats her boat. Having already considered a plethora of different career choices in her 21 years (personal favourites including vet, marine biologist, and renaissance oil painter) it's clear that art, design and the creation of visual and verbal loveliness is all she wants - as long as it's helping the right people. The entire AMC industry scares the living daylights out of her but when it's done with good and honest intentions for reasons that help those who need it, she's all for it. In fact, she may try to help you.
Why?
We've just finished our second year of uni, and being slightly insane, figured that without constant uni stress and deadlines, we might turn into useless zombies with a sunstroke. We needed a summer project - enter The Usual Suspects blog. We wanted something that will interest us and perhaps even interest someone else. We want to keep our brains stimulated by things we see, hear and feel. Things that are current, or maybe a mention-worthy blast from the past.
Plus this will look good on our CV's. Internship and job offers welcome! [And blog post suggestions, too. We aim to have the stand where everyone wants to know what we think about this and that.]
How?
Surprisingly, by this blog. We don't really have rules, regulations, schedules or limits - we go with the flow.
