I don’t mind admitting that I have a fondness for sequels.
Bigger, better... more.
Seriously, what’s not to love?
This post is a sequel of sorts.
I wrote back in August about the Haka, and I suggested finding one that works for you before you go into your next pitch.
So here’s mine, and funnily enough, it’s taken from a sequel
(The Matrix Reloaded).
When I first heard this I thought it would make a great pre-pitch speech, then forgot all about it for a while. .
Obviously, it’s modified slightly for Jack Morton and personal relevance – it’s been a while since I waged war on our mechanical overlords.
(to be delivered in the style of Lawrence Fishburne's Morpheus)
I stand here before you now truly unafraid!
Why?
Because I believe something you do not?
No!
I stand here without fear because I remember.
I remember that I am here not because of the path that lay before me, but because of the path that lies behind me!
I remember that for 70 years we have pitched and won.
I remember that for 70 years they have sent agencies to beat us.
We are still here!
Today let us send a message.
Let us raise the roof
Let us tremble these walls of earth, steel and stone!
Today let us make them remember that Jack Morton is here.
Let's go get 'em!

What's on my mind
About Me
- Kevin Jackson
- The glasses are important, since I’m almost totally blind in one eye. This means I have zero depth perception. Instead of making snap judgements, I have to think around a subject and look again to try and gain a sense of perspective. And that’s what I’m doing here - taking a different view of the trends and patterns around us to see if they’re as close as they seem, or further away than we thought. There’s not a discipline within the communications mix that I haven’t spent time in – what connects them though, is my passion for igniting advocacy and word-of-mouth. I’ve also worked on multi-platform campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, we are all on first-name terms. Ultimately, whether it’s a consumer, business or internal audience, no one is exempt from my belief in engaging experiential communications. Over the last four years ago, I’ve been busy developing relationships across the telecoms, technology, FMCG, retail and energy sectors, to name a few.
