A few months back, one of our directors went "freelance" and set up his own venture. This is the sort of nonsense that is on his website:
In the "What we do" section:
Quote:Ideation, planning and execution of projects carried out by a radical group, autonomously and free from bureaucracy. [business name] projects sidestep corporate politics and inertia.
[business name] facilitates this process whilst remaining entirely invisible. Originally born out of the necessary response to technological disruption, our elite membership of visionaries, luminaries, communicators and influencers drive advocacy and upper level buy-in; whilst accomplishing intellectual, emotional and financial objectives.
